Study reveals AI catch-up gap among pharmaceutical giants: Opportunities for Roche, Pfizer, and NetraMark?
Many observers believe that AI will revolutionize the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. A study by market researchers at Coherent Solutions now reveals the full picture: the market for biotechnology AI is projected to grow from USD 2.6 billion today to USD 12.8 billion by 2035. This corresponds to an annual growth rate of 18.8%. The report also shows how the industry's major players are preparing for the change. Since the "AI Readiness Index" calculated by the analysts paints a very complex picture, the opportunities for specialized AI investments are significant. We take a closer look at the Coherent Solutions study and introduce a business model poised to revolutionize pharmaceutical research and offer opportunities for investors.

Watch out for BioNTech! Bayer, Formycon, and Vidac Pharma shares are on the rise!
While all eyes appear to be on BioNTech's upcoming quarterly results on August 4, other shares are on the rise. Analysts see strong upside potential for Vidac Pharma, citing the possibility of a multi-fold increase. The Company has appointed a new CEO, and its listing on a major German stock exchange is expected soon. This is an exciting mix that could break the sideways trend and ignite a rally. Bayer and Formycon have already shown that a 50% increase is possible in just a few months. However, the DAX-listed company had to report a delay in product approval last Friday. At Formycon, the upward trend is still intact. Analysts praise the progress made in biosimilar development.

Better than Nvidia and without AI – 185% with Veganz, Bayer, Novo Nordisk, and Nestlé in focus
It does not always have to be NVIDIA. German stocks are also performing well. Those who took advantage of Trump's tariff panic in April to buy in have since earned 75% with NVIDIA, but a whopping 185% with German plant-based nutrition expert, Veganz Group. Even the long-sidelined pharmaceutical giant Bayer has made an astonishing comeback with 50% growth, while Nestlé, supposedly an anchor in many portfolios, has lost 15%. Some call it selection luck, while others refer to it as sector rotation. It is currently apparent that the long, strong rally on international stock markets is benefiting only a few stocks. It remains fascinating that the stock market always celebrates when Donald Trump's tariff threats ultimately turn out to be less severe than initially expected. What remains for the economy, however, is less growth and high prices at the checkout. The new US policy stands for many things, but first and foremost, for less trade and economic downturn. How can investors still profit?

War, raw material shortages, cancer: Capitalize on megatrends with Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, Merck KGaA
Three megatrends are expected to drive global markets in 2025. Revolutionary technologies, such as AI and cybersecurity, are fundamentally changing the defence sector. At the same time, demand for critical raw materials for defense, high-tech applications, and the energy transition is exploding, requiring new, sustainable supply chains. In parallel, the pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a dramatic shift due to advances in AI-driven research and intensified competition. These forces are shaping the future opportunities for companies. Those who are strategically positioned here will win, as key players Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, and Merck KGaA demonstrate.

Biotech turns to gold: Who is swallowing whom - or what? Evotec, BioNxt, Valneva, and Formycon are on the list!
The biotech sector is closely monitoring central bank interest rates. At present, however, inflation still seems a little too high to expect significant cuts. Accordingly, the European Central Bank left its key interest rates unchanged yesterday. Investors are now looking to Wall Street for signals on where rates might head in the second half of the year. However, due to the sharp price increases on the Nasdaq and existing undervaluations, takeover rumors are starting to circulate - and could materialize at any time. BioNxt, Evotec, and Valneva are on our watchlist. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

Key technology in the fight against cancer? Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma, AstraZeneca
Do you know what aerobic glycolysis is? No? Have you ever heard of the Warburg effect? Both terms describe the same phenomenon: cancer cells utilize glucose to produce lactate, even in the presence of oxygen and fully functional mitochondria. This is what distinguishes cancer cells from healthy cells. Current research suggests that targeted interventions in the Warburg effect could be suitable for killing cancer cells or making them more receptive to other therapies. Companies around the world are pushing forward research into this effect – the goal is nothing less than curing cancer. We present some of the companies and analyze whether their stocks could be good investments.

AI stocks: Buy SAP now? BioNTech surprises! NetraMark beats ChatGPT!
SAP shares performed poorly yesterday. However, the software company is running smoothly and making progress in expanding its AI and cloud business. Is now a good time to get in? Analysts see around 50% upside potential for NetraMark shares. The AI specialist supports Big Pharma in efficient drug development – a billion-dollar market. Now NetraAI has even beaten ChatGPT and DeepSeek! BioNTech is also betting on artificial intelligence. However, the Mainz-based company is currently only making headlines with a change in personnel, but this could change on August 4. Will there be new impetus soon?

TAKEOVER SPECULATION! Barrick Mining, Evotec, Desert Gold
Just like the high prices, takeover speculation in the gold sector is also continuing. Desert Gold is repeatedly mentioned as a candidate. With its exciting acquisition in West Africa, the explorer has diversified and made itself even more attractive to a large corporation. Perhaps Barrick? The heavyweight is currently focusing on its ore mines and selling smaller projects. It could then expand again in the gold sector, and Desert certainly fits in regionally. In the biotech sector, Evotec has long been rumored as a takeover candidate. Following the latest revenue warning, this is likely the only hope for investors to achieve short-term returns. Or was the price slide exaggerated?

Netflix, NetraMark, Novo Nordisk – Positive signals
So much for the old saying: "Sell in May and go away". If investors had followed this well-known stock market adage, they would have missed out on some significant gains in 2025. Instead, the world's most important indices, such as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NASDAQ, are close to their historic highs. And there is no sign of a summer slump, as the first-half earnings season kicked off last week. Despite already high valuations, further price gains could follow due to the positive market sentiment.
