BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer: Where Covid-19 still provides returns
The pandemic has not only brought losers. There is also a long list of winners. Starting with Amazon and Deutsche Post and ending with BioNTech. Before Corona, the latter Company was always considered a beacon of hope around mRNA technology. Then came the pandemic, and suddenly several small test balloons turned into a gigantic project as we know it today, with a successful outcome. We shed light on BioNTech and also focus on other potential winners of the pandemic.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Dermapharm, NanoRepro - Vaccinate, Test, Treat!
The vaccination rate in Germany is now just under 59% with complete second vaccination. The Ministry of Health had assumed a 70-80% rate by late summer. The situation has now changed, and the autumn in Germany will likely take place under different conditions. Since the beginning of August, the many travelers returning home have had to undergo a test at the entry border to Germany. Presumably, the number of infections will also rise again, making testing mandatory for social life. Vaccination and testing, therefore, remain ongoing issues for the capital markets.

Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac: The Champions League of Bio-Pharma!
Biopharmaceutics is the first port of call in the fight against a wide range of diseases. It studies the relationship between drugs and excipients' chemical and physical properties and their form of administration in a living organism. Biological effectiveness results from the entry of the drug into the diseased organism, its distribution in tissues, and the chemical reaction called metabolism. When dealing with recent pandemics, good advice is expensive, and research into pharmaceuticals costs billions. When an active ingredient is found and registered, the patent clock starts ticking for the inventor. As a result, the hope of the biopharmaceutical company is to remain the sole provider in their healing segment for as long as possible.

BioNTech, XPhyto Therapeutics, Siemens Healthineers - Corona has triggered a boom
While many companies have suffered greatly from the Corona pandemic, there are also a number of winners. First and foremost, vaccine manufacturers but also diagnostics companies experienced substantial growth rates in sales. Irrespective of Corona, it is increasingly crucial for the healthcare sector to push ahead with digitization, especially in diagnostics. Here, digitization offers the opportunity to significantly increase the quality and speed of diagnoses through artificial intelligence. Time, in particular, is an important factor here. Today, we take a closer look at three beneficiaries of the Corona Crisis.

Defence Therapeutics, Moderna, Evotec - Bet on the front-runners!
Health is our most important asset. Biotech companies that protect it save not only human lives but also reap high profits. The price development of many biotech stocks over the past few months has been breathtaking. Investors are advised to focus on the frontrunners, as the market position gained as a first mover, the leadership position in a niche or innovative solution, will enable the companies to keep their competitors at bay for a long time to come.

Hot autumn for BioNTech, NanoRepro and XPhyto: Nothing works without testing and vaccination
Shares of Corona vaccine and test manufacturers are in for a hot fall. Summer is drawing to a close, and the Delta variant is hard to stop. Calls for stricter measures are growing. Politicians are calling for vaccination premiums and mandatory testing for travelers returning home. The 1st FC Cologne recently announced that it would only allow vaccinated people into the stadium. BioNTech, NanoRepro and XPhyto are among the beneficiaries of this development. The latter Company could also benefit from demands from politicians. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach called for mandatory "PCR" testing for unvaccinated people before visiting restaurants.

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech, Pfizer - The next biotech explosion!
Infectious diseases are diseases transmitted by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses or fungi. Depending on which organs and body parts they affect, they can cause very different symptoms. In Covid-19, we are dealing with a problematic initial situation because not every infected person has apparent symptoms at all. Moreover, the virus can also be transmitted from vaccinated individuals to the next host without any problems. That shows the high relevance of testing, despite increasing vaccination rates. On the one hand, the biotech sector is concerned with diagnostic procedures and, on the other hand, with suitable vaccinations to best prepare our immune system for the fight. In the current pandemic, the coming winter will also indicate the overall effectiveness of vaccines.

XPhyto Therapeutics - Groundbreaking diagnostic platforms of the future
The number of infectious diseases that we humans are fighting today has increased significantly in recent decades, not just because they have become known and researched. Increasingly frequent variants and neoplasms have also led in turn to entirely new disease patterns. An important area upstream of the medical sector is the large diagnostics market. The umbrella term of diagnostics is used in particular in the context of the detection and differentiation of diseases. This is referred to as clinical diagnostics. Many test and diagnostic procedures are assigned to the bioscience sector since studies must first prove their exact validity. Worldwide, more than 10,000 companies are involved in symptom research, the detection, screening and analysis of the diagnosis of diseases.

BioNTech, XPhyto Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Here we go again
The numbers of new SARS-CoV-2 infections in Germany are rising again, albeit still at a relatively low level. Due to the spread of the Delta variant, Health Minister Jens Spahn warns of incidences beyond the 800 mark as early as this fall. In addition to masking and spacing, the issues surrounding vaccines against the various mutations and regular, reliable testing are returning to the front pages of the news pages.
