BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Sartorius - Takeover fever in the biotech sector
In the past year, the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index took a severe beating until mid-June. In the meantime, an initial upward trend has developed, and the market is slowly heating up again because some biotech companies are still valued too cheaply. This is when the big players strike, such as Merck & Co, which recently bought Prometheus Biosciences for USD 10.8 billion. The buyer thus paid a premium of a whopping 75% on the previous day's closing price. The biotech start-up Tubulis has also agreed on a collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb that could bring more than USD 1 billion into the Munich-based company's coffers. Reason enough to take a look at three companies from the pharmaceutical and biotech sector.

The second biotech series is catching up - BioNxt Solutions, Core One Labs, BB Biotech
The months-long correction hit the capital-intensive biotech sector particularly hard. Shares, mainly from the second tier, sometimes had to absorb markdowns of more than three-quarters of their market value and are trading far below their cash holdings. These upheavals are, of course, prompting the big players to acquire new developments at bargain prices and thus significantly increase the value of their portfolios.

BioNxt Solutions, Bayer, Morphosys - Using high-speed technology to beat cancer in men
Cancer drugs dominate the global pharmaceutical market and register a significant share. While the global market was worth around EUR 128.6 billion in 2019, it is expected to be around EUR 159.3 billion in 2022. This is reason enough for pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer and Morphosys to advance their research in these areas. Men are particularly affected by specific types of cancer. But what good is the best therapeutic agent if the effect is not achieved immediately? This is precisely where BioNxt Solutions comes in, with a unique coating technology for the rapid release of active substances.

Morphosys, Defence Therapeutics, Moderna - The takeover wave keeps rolling
The biotechnology industry has seen a significant increase in acquisitions and mergers in recent months. Large pharmaceutical companies are looking to expand their portfolios to provide innovative solutions to unmet medical needs. The most recent example is Pfizer's acquisition of Seagen for USD 43 billion. With Big Pharma sitting on filled coffers, this is likely to be just the beginning.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Merck KGaA - Data power ensures high-speed commercialization
Germany is one of the best-funded countries in terms of research-based pharmaceutical companies. Nevertheless, Stefan Oelrich of Bayer Healthcare is critical. He thinks that data protection is putting the brakes on research. Defence Therapeutics, on the other hand, relies on enormous speed. Thanks to their data-driven ACCUM™ platform technology, they are helping mRNA vaccines, in particular, to achieve more intensive results. Pharmaceutical giant Merck is currently experiencing just how valuable data is in the US. In a Phase III clinical trial, the FDA stopped the enrolment of further patients, thus slowing down the research. The reason for the stop, however, is a serious one...

Attention, biotech is back! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech - These stocks are breaking out!
For months the market did not care about biotech stocks. But now technical bottoms have been reached, and a rise is likely. In this context, the capital market interest rate is important: if it falls due to increased fears of recession, there is no stopping the biotechs because refinancing costs fall. Sentiment measurements over Easter showed that the risk bias of investors has also returned. If not now, then when, the moment is favorable! Shortlist the following stocks.

Race against cancer: BioNTech, Bayer, Defence Therapeutics
BioNTech first became known to the general public about three years ago. At that time, the pandemic was rampant and the first vaccine plans were making the rounds in the media. Among all the big names, BioNTech was initially one of many options for the public. In the meantime, the Company has become so dominant in Germany that the competition has been left behind. We look at what this means for investors and the pharmaceutical industry.

Cost pressure in the healthcare system - how you benefit: Bayer, BioNxt, BioNTech
What do you think of the German healthcare system? While doctors regularly grumble about bureaucracy and patients about long waiting times or other inconsistencies, a new divide is opening up between pharmaceutical companies. Research-based pharmaceutical companies favour long patent protection, while generics manufacturers want more lax rules. We explain the system and highlight opportunities for investors.

BioNxt Solutions, Bayer, BioNTech - These pharma stocks offer growth potential
The risk of cancer is increasing worldwide for people over the age of 50. The reasons for this are lack of sleep and exercise, pre-existing diseases and poor nutrition. It has now also been scientifically proven that permanent stress is a cause of Parkinson's disease. According to the WHO, disabilities and deaths due to Parkinson's are increasing faster worldwide than for any other neurological disease. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are doing everything they can to improve the quality of life of those affected. The Canadian biotech company BioNxt is working on a comparative study to improve a therapy patch for treating Parkinson's and make accompanying drug products scalable. Bayer subsidiary Bluerock Therapeutics is using data from the Apple Watch to research Parkinson's symptoms. And CEO Uğur Şahin of BioNTech has closed a billion-dollar deal in cancer therapy.
