Bayer, BioNxt Solutions, Evotec – False tariff alarm for pharma and biotech! Which stocks are worth buying?
The provisional exemption from tariffs for medicines and pharmaceutical products offers the industry a breather – but appearances are deceptive. Based on WTO rules, the exemptions protect German exports in the multi-billion-dollar US market. However, indirect risks lurk in the form of rising costs for raw materials, political unpredictability, and dependence on global supply chains. While the sector can breathe a sigh of relief in the short term, long-term trade conflicts are forcing strategic maneuvering. For Bayer, the US market is very important. BioNxt Solutions is developing disruptive drug delivery solutions, and Evotec aims to redefine drug discovery with artificial intelligence. Let's take a closer look at these three companies.

A bombshell for NetraMark shares: Is this the breakthrough for the AI biotech hidden gem?
Big news for NetraMark! The Company aims to revolutionize the clinical trial process for pharmaceutical and biotech companies - improving time efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing success rates. The software company has developed its own artificial intelligence for this purpose. Yesterday, NetraMark entered into a global partnership with a leading contract research organization (CRO). The partner is active in more than 60 countries with over 3,500 employees, and plans to use NetraMark's AI in its studies in the future. This could be the breakthrough for the AI specialist, potentially ending the stock's consolidation phase. With a market capitalization of less than CAD 100 million, the stock could have significant upside potential.

Bayer's cancer drugs, Defence Therapeutics' cancer vaccine, Novo Nordisk's fat burner – Back on the road to success through specialization
The new trade tariffs threaten to destabilize the global supply chains of the pharmaceutical industry, increase the prices of generic drugs, and slow innovation cycles. The only winners in this environment will be those who focus on unique innovations to ensure resilience and growth. Bayer is trying to make itself fit for the future with an efficiency program, new pharmaceutical products, and digital agriculture platforms. Defence Therapeutics excels with precision-medicine cancer vaccines based on patented technology, opening up new markets. Novo Nordisk, in turn, is shaping a multibillion-dollar market with GLP-1 therapies for obesity and diabetes based on closed production cycles. These three approaches show how specialization and adaptability open new paths in turbulent times.

Stock set for 100% rally! Evotec, thyssenkrupp, Vidac Pharma - A golden April ahead?
Can shareholders look forward to a 100% price gain soon? If analysts have their way, this could be imminent for Evotec. However, shareholders must first mark an important date in April, as the medium-term share price performance is likely to be decided then. For Vidac Pharma, analysts see even greater upside potential, making the current price weakness an interesting entry opportunity. After all, the biotech company is making operational progress. One of the surprises of the current week is thyssenkrupp. The Company is benefiting from billions being spent in defense and infrastructure. Now, it could also benefit from Trump's tariff policies. Analysts recommend buying.

Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions, Bayer: Three ways to health and returns
The pharmaceutical industry is booming, and three companies are set to be in the spotlight in 2025: Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions, and Bayer. A common goal unites all three: To improve the health of millions of patients through innovative approaches. Investors have the opportunity to participate in their success. While their strategies differ, their focus on research, new therapies, and growth makes them exciting for investors. Novo Nordisk stands out with its obesity drug Wegovy. It reduces the risk of heart disease by 57% – a potential game changer, as obesity is a major contributor to severe cardiovascular diseases. BioNxt Solutions is leveraging fresh capital and future technologies. The Company is developing novel drug delivery systems, including sublingual films, transdermal patches, and oral tablets for autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. With CAD 2.5 million from a private placement, it is ready for the next step. Bayer is pushing ahead with its broad pharmaceutical offensive. In 2025, the Leverkusen-based company will launch drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, oncology, and women's health – areas with high medical demand and market potential.

Was that the Trump crash? Nevertheless, steeply upwards with Evotec, Bayer, BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, or Valneva?
Since November 2024, Donald Trump has driven the markets sharply upward - his controversial new presidency was largely celebrated by investors. Now, his leadership feels somewhat unsettling, with fires seemingly being set again at every corner. The new president is acting more imperiously than ever, with Panama, Canada, and Greenland verbally on the agenda as the next US states. Meanwhile, the US administration is facing a considerable deficit, which is to be addressed by drastically reducing the size of the public sector and introducing tariffs. Unsurprisingly, interest rates are now rising sharply, which is a reason for weaker prices in the biotech sector. However, the sector has done its homework and is emerging from a three-year downturn. Are we now at buying levels?

Rocketing prices and takeover speculation! Steyr Motors, Evotec, and Defence Therapeutics!
Steyr Motors is now riding not only the defense wave but also the takeover wave. After the announcement of a cooperation with a Rheinmetall subsidiary, the niche stock has become a shooting star. However, the price has also come back just as quickly. The Austrians now want to grow aggressively through acquisitions. Without takeover speculation, the share price of Defence Therapeutics has already risen by over 60%. The biotech company is still inexpensive, is making progress in monetization, and could become an acquisition candidate. Evotec is currently out of steam. Analysts see significant downside potential and a chance of a turnaround.

Evotec, NetraMark, Novo Nordisk – From the lab to a golden digital future with artificial intelligence
The pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a revolution that is changing everything! Artificial intelligence is sweeping through laboratories and breaking with old habits. Algorithms scour billions of chemical structures in record time, uncovering hidden treasures of active ingredients. While years used to pass before a drug entered the testing phase, AI models are now picking up the pace. Heavyweights like AstraZeneca are in a neck-and-neck race with start-ups. Who will be the first to crack incurable diseases? The goal is to tailor therapies, revolutionize clinical studies, and save lives. Only those who use AI will remain competitive and be able to offer patients innovative drugs faster. The era of data-driven medicine has begun.

Takeover speculation and buy recommendations: Buy Bayer, BioNTech, and BioNxt Solutions stock after a 150% rally?
While takeover speculations are currently on pause for Evotec, they are gaining momentum for BioNxt Solutions. The Company aims to achieve significant milestones in the next 60 days on the road to marketing its lead product for treating multiple sclerosis and expanding into the billion-dollar anti-aging market. Even after the 150% rally, BioNxt shares are not expensive. The BioNTech share has corrected sharply in 2025. However, positive analyst comments could now herald a turnaround. Will the oncology pipeline lead to a breakthrough? On the other hand, Bayer is facing a significant defeat in USD. Further billion-dollar payments are looming. Analysts remain skeptical.

Bayer, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech – Setbacks and New Standards
Glyphosate and no end in sight. Bayer's 2018 acquisition of US agricultural company Monsanto continues to develop into a billion-dollar grave, with a court again ruling against the Leverkusen-based company. Billions in revenue also disappeared from the books of vaccine manufacturer BioNTech after the COVID-19 pandemic subsided. In contrast, an innovative biopharmaceutical company is setting new standards in treating pediatric brain tumors.
