BioNTech, XPhyto Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Biotech stocks facing a renaissance?
While the Corona pandemic plunged many companies into crisis, the biotech sector was the big winner. The fastest vaccine developers raked in record profits and are still profiting from vaccine orders today. Meanwhile, the Corona Crisis is no longer the focus of attention in many parts of the world. This is one of the reasons why the NASDAQ Biotech Index suffered significant losses until the end of September. In some cases, the shares of biotechnology companies were trading below their cash levels. Since October, things have been on the upswing. Reason enough to take a look at three interesting biotech companies.

Top biotech shares - Now on the up: Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech, Pfizer
The fight against the two "common diseases" of cancer and cardiovascular disease continues with a major infusion of resources. In early 2022, President Biden announced a new edition of the "Cancer Moonshot" and named new goals: To halve the cancer death rate within 25 years and significantly improve the lives of people with cancer. The most common cause of death in Germany, on the other hand, is cardiovascular disease. With around 338,000 deaths in 2020, it accounted for more than a third of the 985,500 deaths. The second most common cause of death was primarily cancer, followed by diseases of the respiratory system. The biotech industry thus continues to face major challenges. Who is well positioned?

BioNTech, Nel ASA and Desert Gold - Ripe for uptrend?
The profit warning at ITM Power sent shockwaves throughout the hydrogen sector. Does this mean that the friendly development of the Nel share of the past few days has already ended? Analysts see little potential, at least at present, but are optimistic for the long term. Goldman Sachs is also optimistic about the gold price. At least the chances for a rise to over USD 2,000 are better than for a renewed decline. Producers like Barrick Gold should profit from this, and explorers like Desert Gold even disproportionately. At BioNTech, there is currently no impetus for an upward trend, and analysts' price targets diverge considerably. However, rumors from the US are encouraging.

Biogen, Cardiol Therapeutics, Evotec - Brilliant results
The reporting season for the third quarter is in full swing and is creating a thoroughly positive mood. For example, the software group SAP posted surprisingly strong growth in its cloud business in the third quarter, and its operating result was better than forecast. Positive signals are also coming from the biotech sector, which has been badly battered in recent months. After the horrendous share price losses, this sector, in particular, offers attractive long-term entry levels.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys - The rebound is on the way
The biotech sector is a growth market and, therefore, extremely capital-intensive. Due to the stricter monetary policy of the central banks, investors have given the promising sector the cold shoulder in recent months. Sector indices lost around 30% of their value, while the prices of individual stocks with a full development pipeline halved. The fact that several promising long-term companies are already trading below their cash levels shows that the panic is exaggerated. There are signs of a bottoming out, which could herald the next upward wave.

Core One Labs, XPhyto, BioNTech - The second biotech series moves forward
The enormously rapid development of the various COVID vaccines by historical standards showed how important biotechnology already is for humanity. Previously unknown companies such as BioNTech, Valneva and CureVac took center stage on the stock market and were able to multiply their share prices within a few months. Even after the pandemic, the biotech wheel continues to turn. Enormous growth opportunities are said to exist in the market for psychedelic drugs. Here, young growth companies are waiting in the wings with the potential to multiply their share prices in the future.

Biotech funds looking over their shoulders: Bavarian Nordic, Cardiol Therapeutics, Valneva
A recent study by Accenture shows that consumers are not willing to reduce their spending on health and wellness - even if things are not going well economically. Despite uncertainties, respondents see spending in the areas of "health" and "fitness" as "essential." Those who pay for these areas are also likely to want to exhaust all options when it comes to health insurance benefits, such as medications and vaccines. Informed patients and consumers put pressure on their doctors when new therapies are available. Health insurers, who are also in competition with each other, are taking this into account. We highlight three biotech stocks and do the investment check.

The problem solvers: Plug Power, BioNTech, Almonty Industries
Rarely have there been as many global crises and challenges as there are right now. In addition to the war in Ukraine, there is Corona, an arguably inevitable recession, and the energy crisis - not to mention long-standing challenges such as the fight against cancer and climate change. Companies want to help solve these problems, and BioNTech is one of these companies. The Wiesbaden-based Company was not only successful in the fight against COVID-19. They are currently taking on cancer. And the CEO has recently been very positive. Almonty Industries wants to help reduce dependence on raw materials from China and Russia, and one Company has already given it long-term purchase guarantees. And Plug Power wants to help solve the energy crisis and fight climate change. The recent numbers have disappointed, but analysts see upside potential. We look at the current performance of the three problem solvers.

Defence Therapeutics, Commerzbank - Like BioNTech in March 2020?
After price shocks and recession fears, the pandemic has also been back in the public eye since last week. German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach presented the vaccination strategy for the fall - and warned of an autumn wave. On the markets, the pandemic should be over, with a few exceptions. But Corona and BioNTech are suitable blueprints for other companies. We explain where else a special boom could occur and where investors are better off being cautious.

Attention, turnaround: Bayer, BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys - These biotech stocks are way down!
Even though more people are being diagnosed with cancer today, and the disease remains the leading cause of death, the number of people dying from cancer is trending downward. In recent years, respectively, survival rates have been steadily increasing. The relative proportion of survivors based on all cancer types in the US has increased from 50% to more than 67% over the past two decades, so today, two out of three patients with a serious disease are still alive after five years. In Europe, too, there has been an increase in 5-year survival rates for the most common cancer types. This is encouraging and draws attention to the oncology sector. Which biotech stocks are significant here and offer a good entry point?
