BioNTech a Takeover Target? What's Happening at CHAR Technologies and Steyr Motors?
A cleantech growth story with takeover potential is currently available for only around CAD 35 million. CHAR Technologies is benefiting from rising oil and gas prices thanks to its technology. If the stock fails to move higher, a strategic partner could step in. Is BioNTech a takeover candidate? Until last week, the answer would likely have been a clear no. But since the announcement that the founders are stepping down, almost anything seems possible. And there is another factor in its favor. To avoid being swallowed by a major defense contractor, Steyr Motors aims to grow aggressively - both organically and through acquisitions. Analysts believe the company could double its revenue and recommend buying the stock.

Breaking News! Takeover speculation? BioNTech, Evotec, Vidac Pharma
First, the positive news: Vidac Pharma's drug candidate VDA-1102 was recently used in a compassionate treatment case in connection with a girl's third brain surgery. Following the treatment, the patient's condition improved significantly. In addition, the Vidac platform is now being tested beyond oncology. 2026 could mark a potential breakthrough year for the company and its stock. It was a different story this week for BioNTech, whose shares suffered a sharp setback. The rather mixed results for 2025 and the cautious outlook for the current year likely played only a limited role. More troubling for shareholders is likely the impending departure of the founding couple. This raises the question: Could BioNTech become a takeover target? There were also long faces at Evotec this week. The company's restructuring program has failed to convince the market, and the stock has slipped below an important technical support level.

Sector rotation favors biotech and life sciences! BASF, MustGrow, Novo Nordisk, and BioNTech in focus
Surprises are currently widespread. Former Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir will now lead the state parliament in Baden-Württemberg. The Green Party won over 30% of the vote in a landslide victory, putting issues such as environmental protection, social affairs, and, from Mr. Özdemir's time as minister, the agricultural industry back in the spotlight. With a human-centered approach and a focus on healthy nutrition, this means that established agricultural companies are increasingly being forced to reconcile productivity with sustainability. In this environment, MustGrow Biologics is positioning itself as a strategic technology provider whose achievements have already been validated by leading market players. An expanded sector view also includes the life sciences industry with the protagonists BASF, Novo Nordisk, and BioNTech - an exciting mix.

Top Dividend Stocks: With Novo Nordisk, RE Royalties, and SAP, investors reap where others only see risk
Markets are currently oscillating between fears of war and hopes for interest rate cuts. While geopolitics and economic data continue to fuel uncertainty, many investors are turning back to a proven principle: reliable dividends. March 2026 highlights how fragile global growth can be when the Strait of Hormuz turns into a geopolitical powder keg and even the IMF warns of new economic shocks. In this tense environment between acute crisis and the search for stable returns, companies with dependable dividend policies are gaining importance. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at Novo Nordisk, whose dividend stability must prove itself in an increasingly competitive pharmaceutical market, RE Royalties, which offers a remarkably high yield, and SAP, which recently surprised investors with a dividend increase.

Paradigm shift in oncological dermatology: Vidac Pharma as an innovator, what are Almirall and Biofrontera doing?
Oncological dermatology is on the cusp of a revolution that could fundamentally change our understanding of cancer treatment. Persistence Market Research estimates that the global market for the treatment of actinic keratosis will reach a volume of around USD 7 billion by 2026. Analysts expect the market to grow to between USD 11.1 and 14.45 billion by the mid-2030s. This momentum is driven by the aging global population, cumulative UV exposure due to changing leisure habits, and increased awareness of the dangers of skin cancer. Currently, established industry giants such as Almirall and Biofrontera dominate the standard of care for actinic keratosis with their proven products. However, Vidac Pharma marks the transition from merely combating symptoms to a revolutionary procedure in oncological dermatology. This makes the company an opportunity for growth-oriented investors seeking access to a completely new class of drugs in the field of metabolic oncology.

Will the Iran conflict fuel gold prices? Iamgold and Lahontan Gold stand to benefit! Novo Nordisk shares poised for a rebound?
Will tensions in Iran push gold to new highs? At the very least, the crisis currency is likely to see renewed demand, and with it, gold stocks. Iamgold demonstrates that industry does not necessarily rely on rising gold prices to generate strong profits. Expectations for the gold producer's quarterly figures were high. Can the 50% rally continue? Lahontan Gold is currently in a pivotal phase. Its historical resource of just under 2 million ounces is expected to increase following updated estimates. In addition, the construction of the first mine in the heart of the US gold region appears increasingly likely. This may be one of the last opportunities to accumulate the stock at an attractive price. By contrast, Novo Nordisk has lost considerable investor confidence. The shares appear inexpensive, but is another guidance cut looming? Some analysts believe the stock may have already found a bottom.

Cancer Research as a Growth Driver: How Bayer, Vidac Pharma, and Pfizer can enrich your portfolio
Oncology will be put to the test for the pharmaceutical industry in 2026. Never before have so many highly specialized active ingredients been on the verge of market launch at the same time. While checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies are revolutionizing treatment, business models are shifting from broad-based approaches to precision medicine. But the reality remains complex: between medical advances, narrow patient groups, and pressure on prices, companies need to readjust. Current developments at Bayer, Vidac Pharma, and Pfizer show how three players with different strategies are responding to this change.

SHARE PRICE FIREWORKS! RENK and Novo Nordisk shares take off! Vidac Pharma next?
Share price fireworks at Novo Nordisk yesterday. The battered pharmaceutical stock rose by around 6%. After a weak outlook and the prospect of increasing competition for its blockbuster product, there was some positive news for a change: a competing product is not permitted to be sold in the key US market. RENK shares also rose significantly yesterday. Since last Thursday, the share price has risen by over 10%. Positive analyst commentary is increasing. Vidac Pharma is poised for a rally. The biotech company is working on an attractive oncology pipeline, has once again secured an important patent, and the stock is receiving tailwinds from its Xetra listing. Analysts see the potential for a multiplication.

Almonty Industries Surges, Novo Nordisk and PayPal Correct: Where Are the Entry Points?
The stock market is increasingly divided. While mining stocks are benefiting from geopolitical upheavals and the strategic race for raw materials, established market heavyweights are being punished at the slightest disappointment. This shift reflects the growing limits of globalization. Today, resilience beats efficiency. Three very different companies illustrate this new environment: tungsten producer Almonty Industries, pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk, and payment service provider PayPal. We analyze the current situation.

Almonty shares are skyrocketing! Novo Nordisk shares are plummeting! And what is Hensoldt doing?
Almonty shares gained over 17% on the Nasdaq on Tuesday. The largest Western tungsten producer is likely to benefit from the US government's build-up of strategic reserves of critical raw materials. In addition, analysts have significantly raised their price target and expect Almonty to achieve a net margin of around 50% in 2027. Novo Nordisk, on the other hand, plummeted by over 17% yesterday. The pharmaceutical company has once again shocked the stock market. It expects declining revenue and profits for the current year. And what about Hensoldt? The stock is treading water, but analysts see potential for price gains. In addition, the company has landed an order worth hundreds of millions of euros.
