Biotech: Corona is back! The doublers are lurking here: BioNTech, Evotec, Defence Therapeutics and Bayer
We had almost forgotten about Corona and the good old flu, but it is back in full swing. Governments are remaining calm and holding on to their regained liberalism. However, Spain is now resorting to drastic measures again to protect vulnerable population groups. A mask is to be compulsory again in all Spanish healthcare facilities due to the increase in respiratory diseases. Health Minister Mónica García had previously failed to convince the Spanish regions of the need to introduce compulsory masks of their own accord. In some parts of the country, hospital emergency rooms are under severe pressure due to high patient numbers. Biotech stocks are showing the first signs of recovery after the sell-off in 2023. We take a look at a few selected stocks with 100% potential.

Evotec is in the analyst check, Tui with Wanderlust, and another 100% gain for Manuka Resources?
The Evotec stock is currently not for the faint-hearted. After the resignation of the long-serving board member caused uncertainty, the biotech company was able to reassure investors with a milestone payment. Analysts are speaking out and expressing their opinions, and a real "bull" is among them. And what about Manuka Resources? At the beginning of December, news about an exciting project for battery metals caused a jump in the share price. Is it now worth getting in after the consolidation? The Tui share has also recently consolidated after a 50% gain within a few weeks. Analysts' price targets for the tourism company's shares vary widely. Hold or buy?

Cardiol Therapeutics, Morphosys, BioNTech - Who will switch to the fast lane in 2024?
The life science and biotech sector has a few aces up its sleeve in 2024. Cardiol Therapeutics announces a significant clinical milestone, with over 50% of participants now enrolled in the ARCHER trial for acute myocarditis. MorphoSys, a cancer drug company, is developing an oral therapy specifically for proteins against myelofibrosis with the promising compound "pelabresib". However, analysts disagree on the share valuation. Top dog BioNTech is planning sales of EUR 3 billion in 2024, also focusing on oncology. CEO Uğur Şahin emphasizes the strategic scaling of the cancer therapy business by 2025 and initial market launches by 2026. Who will use 2024 to move into the fast lane?

Evotec, Defense Metals, PayPal - There is movement here. Where is it worth getting in?
In the dynamic environment of the stock market, it is often significant movements in individual shares that attract the attentive eye of investors. Volatile securities lure investors with the promise of quick profits, but they may signal more than just short-term market fluctuations. When stocks start to move and deviate from their usual trading patterns, it can indicate fundamental changes in the business environment, industry-specific developments or macroeconomic turning points. For the savvy investor, this might be the opportune moment when promising entry opportunities reveal themselves. However, caution is advised: Only those prepared to look behind the scenes and analyze the factors behind the volatility can truly profit from market movements.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Pfizer - Buckle up for the rebound
As the end of the year approaches, the savvy equity investor begins to optimize their equity portfolio for tax purposes. During this time, investors are particularly keen to review their investments and make strategic adjustments to minimize the tax burden. This approach, often referred to as "tax-loss harvesting" or "loss offsetting", involves the clever realization of losses in order to reduce capital gains tax due on profits made in the same year. This means that shares that have not performed so well over the course of the year are often sold off again in December. In the new year, the selling pressure disappears, and the shares can start their rebound. Today, we are looking at three potential candidates.

Returns beckon here: The Biotech favorites for 2024! BioNTech, Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics and MorphoSys in focus
The past year was a disaster for investors in the Biotech sector - no golden check as often seen before. Despite all the gloom, the key indicator, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI), has managed an annual gain of around 7% since the end of October, thanks to a fabulous 15% upswing. The index was temporarily down 12%. High capital costs made it difficult for research-based companies to refinance, and it is only now, with falling inflation rates, that interest rate hopes are reviving. The 10-year yield in the US fell by more than 100 basis points from 4.98% to 3.84% in a short space of time. Now, the industry senses a positive outlook again. At the end of the year, the positive environment helped some Biotech stocks shake off the negative trend and initiate a turnaround. Which stocks should we focus on?

Morphosys with 50% risk? BioNTech and Defence Therapeutics share with positive news
Will the Morphosys share price halve? Analysts believe this is possible, although the German biotech veteran has been one of the winners in the sector this year. Overall, biotech shares were not among the favorites of investors in 2023. Nevertheless, the billion-dollar takeover of Karuna Therapeutics by Bristol-Myers Squibb announced yesterday gives the sector hope for a better performance in 2024. Today, we are focusing on three companies of different sizes, including Morphosys and Defence Therapeutics. The biotech company with a focus on immuno-oncology is closing the year with further positive news. The FDA has given the green light for the start of trials next year, which could open up a market worth billions. BioNTech has several pieces of positive news. Here, too, the FDA has made a positive statement, and the Company has achieved a milestone victory against CureVac.

Liquidia, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer - Analysts comment on their favorites
The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index has been in the green since the beginning of the year with a mini gain of 1%, but the rebound since the lows at the end of October gives hope for a much more positive stock market year 2024 for the capital-intensive sector. In addition to the multiple interest rate hikes by the central banks, the biotech sector has been weighed down, in particular, by slower progress in research and development. With the expected start of a cycle of interest rate cuts, financing and capital costs are falling, which could lead to rising prices.

Christmas Surprises: Nel, CureVac, SMA Solar, Altech Advanced Materials
Far from a peaceful Christmas season, these stocks had some exciting news just before Christmas Eve: While SMA Solar had to fend off a short attack, CureVac lost the first round in the patent dispute with BioNTech over the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Company has reached another milestone on the road to revolutionizing battery technology. The feasibility study promises millions in profits. Nel can look forward to special earnings as a fine is significantly lower than expected.
