BioNTech, First Hydrogen, and TSMC with big announcements
As we enter the final third of what has so far been a successful 2024 stock market year, uncertainties and volatility are increasing. Even the seemingly invincible chip giant Nvidia has lost around a quarter of its stock market value since its highs in mid-June. On the other hand, other companies that have fallen sharply in recent months have reported positive news that could herald a possible rebound.

Multiplication and travel boom! Bayer, TUI, Vidac Pharma
Vidac Pharma shares have gained over 23% in the past four weeks. Driven by strong study data from the biotech company focused on fighting cancer, analysts even see the potential for multiplication. Such euphoria has been absent at Bayer for some time. However, at least there is positive momentum from the pharmaceuticals division again, which is much needed, as the Leverkusen-based company's pipeline is considered modest. In contrast, business at TUI is booming. Nevertheless, the tourism group's shares have disappointed in the current year. Will a new cruise ship take it towards EUR 10?

Bargain alert in Biotech, AI, Cannabis: Evotec, Cantourage, BlockchainK2 share instead of Nvidia?
The weak late summer months on the stock market often offer opportunities for bargain hunters - including at the moment and away from the large caps. For instance, Nvidia has already lost around 30% from its all-time high, but historically a drop of 50% or more is not uncommon for this AI high-flyer. It is, therefore, worth taking a look at fallen small and mid-caps. For example, Cantourage shares gained more than 10% yesterday alone. Is there more to come for the cannabis stock? BlockchainK2 shares are also ripe for a price surge. The SaaS platform for financial service providers offers cost and efficiency benefits thanks to blockchain and AI. The sentiment for fintechs - look at PayPal - is currently brightening noticeably, and BlockchainK2 is a takeover candidate. The same could be said for Evotec, or is there a risk of a slide to EUR 4? In any case, the Company is not finding any peace.

Promising signs of a renaissance in the healthcare sector have emerged in recent months.

Globex Mining, Bayer, and Plug Power - Which company offers the best return with low risk?
Investors understand the interplay between risk and return. Which sectors offer high returns? The Canadian commodities company Globex Mining skillfully balances risk and return in the commodities sector with its diversified portfolio of over 200 commodities projects in North America and Europe. Its setup is akin to a mini-version of Berkshire Hathaway. Bayer AG is tapping into new growth opportunities in the pharmaceuticals sector with its Phase III study for a lung cancer drug. This is much needed as numerous patents are expiring. Plug Power, a pioneer in hydrogen technology is putting all its eggs in one basket - with the potential for huge profits but also considerable losses, as evidenced by the share price plunge from USD 70 in 2021 to currently below USD 3 shows. Which company offers the best return with low risk?

DAX on a high, clear turnaround at Evotec and Saturn Oil + Gas, TUI and Lufthansa in a daily battle
The current stock market euphoria might seem out of place at first glance, given the geopolitical uncertainties, sluggish economic growth, and persistent inflation. However, it is important to remember: The stock market is looking 6 to 9 months ahead. The expectation is that inflation will weaken significantly, and the current interest rate level will fall considerably. In this environment of "steadily improving conditions", technology shares seem to be on the rise. Wars such as those in Ukraine or the Middle East may weigh on people's minds, but they boost the balance sheets of the defense industry. In this respect, there is little reason for pessimism, and the DAX at least reached new all-time highs at the end of August. It is worth taking a look at some of the lagging stocks.

Will Evotec's share price double or fall by 40%? Analyst opinions on the ailing biotech company differ widely. The management offers some encouragement, as insiders have been buying shares of Evotec. Almonty is currently performing strongly. The shares of the tungsten producer are at a yearly high. The half-year figures have been convincing, and analysts see around 200% upside potential. Has the share finally initiated its revaluation? By contrast, experts remain skeptical about Tui. Business is booming, but for how much longer?

Siemens Healthineers, Vidac Pharma, Viking Therapeutics - Powerful movements
After the hype during the COVID-19 pandemic, biotech stocks have lagged behind the broader market, allowing major technology companies to take the lead. Smaller, capital-intensive companies, in particular, have suffered from the high interest rate level. However, this is likely to change soon. On the one hand, monetary policy is expected to be eased, and on the other hand, demographic changes point to a long-term explosion in demand for new medications.

Starting signal for a rally? BioNTech, Pfizer, and Bayer under scrutiny, Major news expected from Cardiol Therapeutics and Evotec
Despite all the prophecies of doom, life goes on in the biotech sector. With a medium-term focus, it makes sense to bet on management qualities, as the recent price drops were partially too severe, but the research approaches promise a better future. BioNTech and Pfizer still have to deal with the COVID-19 issue, while Bayer has now taken all measures to achieve a turnaround. The situation at Cardiol Therapeutics and Evotec is particularly interesting, as the members of the Management Board continue to buy shares regularly.
