Climate change or just a heat wave? - BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, and Redcare Pharmacy deliver!
Whether this consistently warm summer already documents a pronounced climate change is questionable. The older ones among us remember that there were already very hot summers before and that even in the last 30 years, there was rarely snow at Christmas. However, human life is simply too short for significant conclusions. Therefore, long-term weather records have to be consulted. There will probably be a slight increase in average temperatures, but we will get little information about when the next ice age will hit us. For many politicians, the current weather trends fit perfectly into the chain of arguments in favor of radical legislative proposals. Perhaps, however, the caprices of the weather are only the offshoots of the approaching El Nino. The stock market also follows changing trends; after the flood, an ebb could now be imminent. Selection remains key!

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Who will have trend-setting news first?
Pharmaceutical and biotech stocks are among the most volatile sectors in the financial markets. Single news stories about new developments or product announcements can not only cause short-term price swings but also have long-term implications, increasing both risk and opportunity for investors. If a breakthrough drug is developed, old preparations can become obsolete - this is good for the innovative company but detrimental to established market participants. As an investor, it is advisable to select specific companies and anticipate directional news through some research.

After BioNTech shock: Evotec, Morphosys and Cardiol Therapeutics emerge as the new biotech favorites
BioNTech startled investors and analysts with its quarterly figures on Monday. Yet the biotech segment has actually developed positively in recent months. Several stocks are currently going full throttle, and S&P's sector index also outperformed the S&P 500 and MSCI World in July. This could finally signal the end of the underperformance of recent years, and biotech stocks could be celebrating a comeback. On the German stock charts, Evotec and Morphosys are among the high flyers. Both shares have performed strongly since April. Cardiol Therapeutics also looks promising from a technical chart perspective, and analysts see a price potential of over 200%. In contrast, there is currently no reason to buy BioNTech. Instead, investors should also bet on strength.

Wild times - quarterly figures on the move! Tupperware, Defence Therapeutics, PayPal and Amazon under the magnifying glass!
After a pronounced summer rally on the stock markets, there have been individual setbacks in early August.

Often, stocks have simply run too far and experienced a healthy consolidation; in the case of Tupperware, the opposite is probably the case. Here, too many speculators have positioned themselves on the short side, and there were hopeful reports. We analyze a few highlights of the last week.
