Medicine and research go hand in hand. The Canadian biotech company Defence Therapeutics is expanding its patent protection for its platform technology in order to further advance the development of drugs, vaccines, and active ingredients. Data collection and analysis require intelligent solutions such as those from Super Micro Computer. With an incredible 200% increase in revenue, the US company from Silicon Valley is surfing the digital wave of success. Will they continue to rise? Meanwhile, Evotec is grappling with the darker side of digitalization. Due to a cyberattack, the life sciences company is withdrawing from an otherwise lucrative segment. We provide the details.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Morphosys - On the verge of a breakout
Compared to the broader indices, DAX and Dow Jones, which have already reached new all-time highs, the Nasdaq Biotech Index is currently lagging. The sector index is still around 23% below its peak from August 2021. Nevertheless, the sector is on the move. In addition to takeovers, which have increased dramatically in 2024, many companies have important study results in the pipeline that could kick-start a rally.

Share price shock at Siemens Energy! What are BioNTech and Cardiol Therapeutics doing?
The Siemens Energy share has been one of the surprises of recent months. It has more than doubled since the beginning of the year. Is a crash now imminent? Yes, if you believe Bernstein. Their analysts are shocking us with a horror price target. The Cardiol Therapeutics share performed even better than Siemens Energy in 2024. Despite the 150% rally, analysts see upside potential for the cardiovascular disease specialist. Things will get really exciting at the beginning of June when new study results are due. BioNTech, on the other hand, is currently failing to convince analysts. Reactions to the latest quarterly figures were modest.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Novavax - Major events
The biotechnology sector is still on the move and is currently characterized by a high degree of volatility. For instance, BioNTech, a former star during the pandemic, reported a net loss of EUR 315 million in the first quarter. The Mainz-based biotech now wants to focus more on the development of its cancer drugs due to the slump in demand for COVID-19 vaccines. However, for years, innovative, undiscovered companies have existed in this billion-dollar market that could, with their technologies, become the new high-flyers in the biotech industry.

Biotech and pharma stocks finally follow suit! Novo Nordisk, Bayer, BioNTech, Vidac Pharma and Evotec on the buy list
Things looked very different at the beginning of the year. After a brilliant rally in the Nasdaq Biotech Index at the end of last year, investors thought the upswing could continue in 2024. So far, this hope has not been confirmed. The main focus for the industry is the refinancing conditions. These have gradually deteriorated, as stubborn inflation is keeping central bank interest rates high. And judging by the wording of central bankers, the next interest rate cut does not seem to be penciled in yet. However, if it happens in the summer, things will likely move quickly for the life sciences sector. Then a quick sector rotation is the order of the day! Here is our buy list for the upcoming event.

BUY RECOMMENDATIONS! Are Evotec, Super Micro Computer, and Royal Helium about to take off?
Evotec's share price has plummeted by around 50% this year. Consequently, the stock is among the year's losers. However, several buy recommendations are raising eyebrows. Is the turnaround imminent? The Royal Helium share is also ripe for a turnaround. The little-known noble gas is used in the defense industry, medical technology and for quantum computers, among other things. Royal Helium aims to transition from an explorer into a producer and has enlisted strong partners to achieve this. Will the share see a breakthrough after the ongoing capital increase? And what about Super Micro Computer? The AI high-flyer seems to have overcome its phase of weakness. Is it now heading for new all-time highs?
