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

  • Biotechnology
  • Pharma

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!

  • mRNA

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.

  • Biotechnology
  • Pharma
  • Cancer

The biotech and pharmaceutical industry is currently in a constant state of flux, driven by the introduction of new technologies and the fight against global health problems. Producing medicines and therapies to alleviate diseases is of great value to people's health. Against the backdrop of an ageing population in industrialised nations, the sector will continue to be of great importance. A particular focus is on inventing advanced technologies to fight diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Today we look at three companies in the biotech and pharma sector.

Race against cancer: BioNTech, Bayer, Defence Therapeutics

  • Biotechnology
  • Cancer

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

  • Biotechnology
  • Pharma

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.

Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Movement in the biotech sector

  • Biotechnology
  • Investments

Is a new wave of takeovers starting in the biotech sector? Already last year, acquisitions by Big Pharma were expected to increase, but these largely failed to materialize. However, this could accelerate in the current year. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies, such as vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, have deep pockets and need new innovations for their product portfolio; on the other hand, second-tier stocks are attractive targets due to the strong correction.

Takeover speculation at Defence Therapeutics! What are BioNTech, Morphosys, and Evotec doing?

  • Biotechnology
  • Takeover

Defence Therapeutics is one of the biotech high flyers of the past months. The share has more than doubled since October. And this could be just the beginning. Operationally, things are going well, a strong partner has been acquired, and experts are speculating about a takeover. And what are the German biotechs doing? At BioNTech, it will be exciting at the end of March, because the Mainz-based company needs new blockbusters. At Morphosys, analysts recently saw further downside potential. Will a new management board bring about a turnaround? Evotec also had little positive to report. However, an AI investment in the hype surrounding ChatGPT is making headlines.

Bayer, BioNxt, BioNTech - Biotech is on the rise again, bring on the blockbusters!

  • Biotechnology
  • vaccine
  • Covid19

The time of the vaccine producers is over because the willingness to vaccinate is declining worldwide. As a result, the entire biotech sector has entered a strong correction phase since the pandemic mode for COVID-19 ended. In the process, sector leader BioNTech suffered a loss of over 70% from its high. Complicating matters for companies is the significant increase in interest rates for long-term financing of their pipelines. When refinancing costs rise, this often leads to lower valuations. However, some companies are impressing with their innovations and have recently shown significant outperformance to the market. We evaluate the opportunities of some well-known biotech protagonists!
