Following Stock-Market Legend André Kostolany: Are Siemens Energy, BioNTech or HPQ Silicon Contrarian Plays?
Contrarian investors, take note! The stock market does not always behave rationally. Stock-market legend André Kostolany liked to compare the relationship between a company's performance and its share price to a man out for a walk with his dog. Sometimes the dog runs ahead, sometimes it lags behind, but ultimately both move in the same direction. HPQ Silicon appears to be a case in point. While the company has been releasing one positive announcement after another, its stock has come under pressure. This discrepancy is precisely what makes the stock interesting for contrarian investors. Siemens Energy presents almost the opposite picture. The stock has already priced in a great deal of growth, while analysts are recommending a "Sell". And what about BioNTech?

Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions, Evotec: When Injections Become Pills, The Cash Starts Rolling In
The daily injection has had its day. For a long time, taking biologics in pill form was considered a pipe dream, but as of this year, it is becoming a billion-dollar business. On September 17, 2026, Novo Nordisk announced a partnership with Orbis Medicines worth up to USD 1.4 billion to make injections available orally. In February, the Danish company secured a partnership with Vivtex worth up to USD 2.1 billion. Whoever can deliver peptides through the stomach could see the industry come knocking. We are taking a closer look at Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions and Evotec, which cover the entire spectrum of this trend—from acquisitions to technology to development.

Jungheinrich, BioNTech and Almonty Industries: The Hidden Comeback Opportunities for Your Portfolio
The market environment is currently rather weak, characterized by slightly falling share prices across the stock markets. In the commodities markets, however, especially in oil, prices are rising slightly to more sharply, by contrast. Investors are getting increasingly nervous, a trend also reflected in bond yields. Yet it is precisely in such phases, when nervousness takes over and many market participants throw in the towel, that attractive entry opportunities can emerge for savvy investors. That is why today we are looking at three very different companies that nevertheless have one thing in common: they could be heading for a rebound or an upward move. With BioNTech, we look at a company focused on the oncology sector. Jungheinrich takes us into the world of warehouse logistics and mechanical engineering — a genuine industry veteran. Finally, we turn to Almonty. The company was once a hidden gem in the commodities sector. That is no longer the case, however: given its strategic importance to the Western defence industry, it has become increasingly difficult to overlook. Join us on an analytical journey through financial statements and charts to discover where interesting opportunities may arise in terms of risk and return.

The End of Weight-Loss Shots? Innovations at Merck and Novo Nordisk—BioNxt Solutions Poised for a Hot Fall?
The battle against excess weight is no longer merely a lifestyle issue. Medical professionals now view extreme obesity as a chronic disease that weakens the body and can lead to serious cardiovascular conditions, as cardiological studies have shown. By contrast, sustained weight loss can help pave the way to a longer, healthier life. This insight, combined with pharmaceutical innovation, has sparked an unprecedented race to develop weight-loss drugs. Companies are searching for the ideal way to boost metabolism while making medication as easy and convenient to take as possible.

New Approaches to Fighting Cancer: Why Vidac Pharma, BioNTech and Evotec Deserve Attention
Cancer cells use sophisticated defence mechanisms to evade the immune system and reprogram their own metabolism. These mechanisms are now increasingly being targeted by biotech companies. BioNTech has more than EUR 16 billion in cash and is driving the next generation of immunotherapies. Evotec is scaling up drug development through strong alliances but has eroded investor confidence. This skepticism is weighing on its share price. Developments at Vidac Pharma are particularly exciting. The company focuses on the metabolic reprogramming of malignant cells. Results from a potentially groundbreaking Phase 2b trial are imminent. Which approach offers the greatest promise?

A Plunge, Corporate Restructuring, and a Bet on Technology – Novartis, HPQ Silicon, Volkswagen
In the stock market, it is often not the big promises but the critical transition phases that determine investment opportunities—true to the saying: "The profit lies in the purchase." That is exactly where the following three stocks stand. A corporation with costly pipeline risk, a tech stock on the path from testing to potential commercialization, and an industrial giant in the midst of a tough restructuring. Investors looking to understand where hope, risk, and revaluation are currently most strongly intertwined will find interesting case studies here.

Biotech Boom Thanks to Synergies: AstraZeneca Bets on Platforms, Almirall Forges Alliances, and Vidac Pharma Has the Multi-Tool
Everyone in Germany knows the situation: doctors' offices are crowded, and the healthcare system is stretched to its limits. But even when waiting rooms are full, there are still rays of hope. In Europe, research is being conducted successfully in many areas. As standard drugs gradually lose their patent protection, a new era is dawning. While cutting-edge research in Germany is still considered brilliant, it has all too often failed to translate findings into products. But that is changing. A new generation of European pharmaceutical players is closing the gap with the competition and showing that groundbreaking therapeutic advances no longer have to come exclusively from overseas. We take a look at some exciting companies.

Evotec Under Pressure! Analysts See Upside Potential - News From MustGrow and Bayer
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
Alarm bells are ringing at Evotec. The share price is at risk of slipping below the EUR 3 mark. Even at this seemingly low price level, analysts are notably reluctant to issue "Buy" recommendations. Evotec has, however, announced a research collaboration to develop new T-cell-activating therapeutic approaches for solid tumors. MustGrow's story is now gaining noticeable momentum. The Canadian AgTech company reached profitability in the first half of the year and expects revenue to increase in the second half. In addition, the first milestone payment from Bayer under their licensing agreement has been received. Further payments running into the millions could follow in the coming years and exceed MustGrow's current market capitalization. Analysts see potential for significant upside. Bayer itself has announced an intensive phase of new product launches for its Crop Science division. Analysts recommend buying the stock.

Biotech: Time to Bet on the Rebound! Evotec and BioNxt in the Takeover Spotlight, Bayer and BioNTech Flush with Cash
After a long dry spell, the biotech sector is on the cusp of a spectacular turnaround, offering bold investors the potential for significant returns. Many innovative biotech stocks are trading well below their all-time highs, yet almost unnoticed, the next major rally is already taking shape behind the scenes. The huge cash reserves of industry giants Bayer and BioNTech are currently fueling takeover speculation across the sector. This colossal capital, running into the billions, is desperately seeking new growth drivers, suddenly putting smaller players on the radar of potential acquirers. At the very top of the hunters' watchlist are the hard-hit Evotec and the disruptive newcomer BioNxt. Both companies boast top-class technology platforms, which, at current levels, almost seem like an exclusive clearance sale. Investors who keep their eyes open and position themselves strategically for the major rebound could get ahead of the looming wave of consolidation. The conditions for an explosive catch-up rally have rarely been this favorable.

Potential Moderna-Style Share Surge? Takeover Candidates Evotec, Valneva and Vidac Pharma in Focus — Analysts Bullish
Moderna has shaken up the biotech market with its breakthrough in the fight against skin cancer. Partner Merck has received somewhat less attention in the coverage, despite preparing for the eventual patent expiration of one of its blockbuster drugs. Other pharmaceutical companies will also need to replenish their pipelines in the coming years. As a result, the takeover merry-go-round is likely to pick up speed again, potentially electrifying investors. One hot candidate is Vidac Pharma. Recruitment for its Phase 2B trial into high-risk actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition, has been completed. The results could provide a catalyst for the stock. Valneva's share price has recently risen sharply. Could its partner Pfizer eventually make a move? Analysts are recommending the stock. And what about perennial takeover candidate Evotec? Shareholders and potential buyers are currently giving the share a wide berth. Yet there is a "Buy" recommendation on the table.
