CureVac, Ayurcann, Novavax, NanoRepro: Things are going through the roof here!
Healing and well-being are the focus of many biotech and pharmaceutical companies. In many cases, long research is carried out in order to get corresponding active substances on the way. After many clinical test series, the laborious approval process with the corresponding health authorities then begins. Some companies have provided themselves with good growth capital thanks to the high liquidity on the stock markets and are at the cutting edge with their products. We take a closer look at the industry.

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon - Biotech and pharma offer potential for the portfolio
The pharmaceutical industry alone has annual sales of over EUR 1,000 billion worldwide and helps people overcome their illnesses. Since the Corona pandemic, biotech and pharma companies are even more in the spotlight. If a company manages to develop a blockbuster, big profits also beckon to shareholders. BioNTech is currently a prime example of this, even if the share has consolidated in the meantime. Where there are high profits, there is also a higher risk. The road to the development and approval of a drug is long, and failure is also possible. As people are getting older and diseases are rising, it makes sense to invest in these areas. Today we analyze three potential candidates.

Valneva, Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech - Is the vaccination subscription coming?
The numbers of people infected with Corona have been rising significantly again for weeks. While only about 67% of Germans are fully vaccinated, the pace is slowing noticeably. Meanwhile, the third dose, the so-called "booster" vaccination, has already been started. The Standing Commission on Vaccination (STIKO) has recommended this booster for people aged 70 and over. A decision on whether booster vaccinations should be offered to everyone is likely to be made soon. For vaccine manufacturers, this means recurring revenues.

Sartorius, Defence Therapeutics, QIAGEN - Still long potential
Since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, biotech and pharmaceutical shares have been among the top performers on the stock market. In addition to vaccine producers such as BioNTech and Pfizer, the share price of the US pharmaceutical Company Moderna also multiplied. Other winners included diagnostics companies and laboratory equipment suppliers, process technology specialists and manufacturers of biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceuticals promise enormous growth potential even after Corona, especially the market such as gene and cell therapies is growing dynamically at the moment.

Bayer, Sativa Wellness Group, MorphoSys - Can the pharmaceutical industry benefit from the new German government?
The federal election is over, and the pharmaceutical industry has to adjust to the new political constellation. The industry is facing change. Digitization is an important topic. To not lose even more researchers to foreign countries, approval processes must be accelerated and bureaucracy reduced. If we always acted as decisively as we did during the pandemic, much more could be achieved. The new federal government is flirting with the legalization of cannabis. If this were to happen, the market would probably be huge. The next four years promise to be exciting.

The pandemic is drawing to a close. Vaccination rates are high, and a new wave is - fortunately - not picking up speed. But in this environment, what is happening to many highly acclaimed pandemic stocks? Are vaccine manufacturers still interesting at the moment? We look at how the industry is faring and where opportunities can still be found.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac: A decade's worth of ideas!
Biotechnology remains a hotly contested industry. In the fight against a wide range of diseases, biopharmaceuticals are the first port of call. It studies the relationship between drugs and excipients' chemical and physical properties and their form of administration in a living organism. By directly applying findings from biology and biochemistry, technically functional elements are identified. The central objectives are to research, improve and develop processes for the production of relevant substances. Often research goes nowhere; we take a look at the sector.

Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - When will things pick up again?
Biotechnology companies can experience a significant, sometimes even exponential, increase in value virtually overnight with a new, successful active ingredient. BioNTech is a prime example of this. But not every research effort leads to success, and CureVac shareholders can tell you a thing or two about that. Canada's Defence Therapeutics and Valneva have innovative research pipelines. Where should investors consider investing now?

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, Formycon - Close to the bio-revolution!
Portugal is one of the countries with the highest vaccination rate, with 86% of the population already vaccinated. Approximately 98% of those eligible for vaccination - including everyone over the age of 12 - have been vaccinated. Germany, with about 64%, is one of the more vaccine-weary nations. What is the secret of the Portuguese? The government relied on an opinion maker from within its ranks, Admiral Gouveia e Melo. An expert in complicated logistical tasks in the military, he was appointed in February as the top leader of the national vaccination campaign. He is never seen without his military combat uniform in numerous public television appearances - and when asked how other countries can move their own vaccination effort forward, the admiral did not hesitate to offer his best advice: "You have to find people who are not politicians." Where are the current opportunities in the vaccination sector?

Valneva, Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech - New vaccines needed against Corona
Johnson & Johnson's new study shows the booster vaccine improves protection against severe Corona disease by 75%. According to the New York Times, the Company plans to seek approval for the booster vaccine. While the FDA has already approved BioNTech's booster vaccine for those over 65, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have yet to receive approvals. Those are on the agency's Oct. 14 and 15 meeting schedule. BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin stressed to the Financial Times that there must always be new formulations to stop new virus variants.
