Takeover rumors for biotech shares: BioNTech, Formycon, Cardiol Therapeutics and Novo Nordisk in focus
The biotech sector has significantly lagged behind the performance of artificial intelligence and high-tech this year. This is due to high inflation, which in turn has made an imminent interest rate cut unlikely. Nevertheless, Germany's economic conditions are deteriorating dramatically, particularly due to the ongoing geopolitical conflicts. It should, therefore, come as no surprise if the ECB announces an "emergency interest rate cut" in the summer. That would then be the starting signal for a major reshuffle out of the best performers of recent months and into the long-neglected biotech segment. We have selected a few interesting stocks.

TAKEOVER FEVER for biotech shares! Evotec, Bayer, Vidac Pharma - Who will follow Morphosys?
There is takeover fever in the biotech sector. Genmab recently announced the acquisition of ProfoundBio, the US biotech company developing ovarian and endometrial cancer drugs, for USD 1.8 billion. With Morphosys, the takeover carousel is also turning in Germany. Who is the next candidate? Evotec is often mentioned. Due to unauthorized insider trading, the biotech company's shares have come under fire this year and offer an interesting entry opportunity. Vidac Pharma also impresses operationally. The Company's new approach has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. The study results of the past few months are very promising. Bayer shares surprised investors yesterday as one of the day's winners in the DAX. Is the Leverkusen-based company's stock about to take off?

Formycon, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Significant movement in the biotech sector
At the moment, investors are focusing on gold and Bitcoin in addition to the most important indices, like the DAX and Dow Jones. Meanwhile, the biotechnology sector is barely mentioned in the local newspapers. However, the market is on the move, and the wave of takeovers continues unabated. Recently, the Danish pharmaceutical company Genmab announced it was acquiring the private biotech company ProfoundBio for USD 1.8 billion in cash. The acquisition is intended to help deepen the cancer pipeline with next-generation antibody-drug conjugate therapies. Big Pharma is likely to make further acquisitions in this area in the near future.

BASF and Cardiol Therapeutics recommended to buy! TUI share with momentum!
BASF shares have gained over 30% within six months. But is the rally in BASF shares slowly running out of steam? The fact that the share did not rise sharply yesterday despite a significant price target increase suggests this is the case. Many experts see little potential for further price increases. The situation is different for the biotech company Cardiol Therapeutics. The analysts at Canaccord believe that the shares of the specialist in cardiovascular diseases could perform by around 200%. Financing is secured until 2026, and important study data is due in the current quarter. The TUI share has been on a roll for several months now. Will the share continue to rise with the increase in temperatures? Management is certainly optimistic about the future.

BASF shares on the upswing, BioNTech sees breakthrough in cancer, and Defence Therapeutics benefits from study
Can BASF shareholders look forward to better times? One analyst is certainly hopeful. He believes that the chemical industry will recover in 2024. However, the price target gives pause for thought. The development of cervical cancer is also concerning. According to a new study, the number of cases has risen sharply in recent years, and with it, HPV infections. Accordingly, more HPV vaccines are urgently needed. The market volume is expected to more than double to over USD 15 billion in just a few years. Defence Therapeutics aims to become a profiteer. The biotech company is fighting cancer with its Accum™ platform. BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin also believes that humanity will get cancer under control, thanks in part to artificial intelligence. The Company is currently working on 30 cancer therapies. Is it a good time to invest now?

Cardiol Therapeutics, Morphosys, BioNTech - Who will switch to the fast lane in 2024?
The life science and biotech sector has a few aces up its sleeve in 2024. Cardiol Therapeutics announces a significant clinical milestone, with over 50% of participants now enrolled in the ARCHER trial for acute myocarditis. MorphoSys, a cancer drug company, is developing an oral therapy specifically for proteins against myelofibrosis with the promising compound "pelabresib". However, analysts disagree on the share valuation. Top dog BioNTech is planning sales of EUR 3 billion in 2024, also focusing on oncology. CEO Uğur Şahin emphasizes the strategic scaling of the cancer therapy business by 2025 and initial market launches by 2026. Who will use 2024 to move into the fast lane?

Game Changer in Cancer - The Biotech Gold List for 2024! MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech and Bayer
The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates the number of cancer deaths worldwide for the year 2022 to be around 10 million. However, the number of new cancer cases in the same year amounted to around 20 million, and cancer is still considered incurable. Lung cancer remains the sad frontrunner, claiming the most lives worldwide. Colorectal and stomach cancer follow at a considerable distance. However, since the original launch of the "Cancer Moonshot" in 2016, the fight against this incurable disease in the US has made some progress in the realization of therapies. Recently, there has been an increase in success stories from many biotech companies, and investors' enthusiasm is palpable once again. Where are the Biotech game changers lurking for the 2024 investment year?

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Tiger mosquitoes, and rising Corona numbers bring biotech back in focus
Corona infections are already rising, even though autumn has not even begun. Hospitals are already fearing a high burden during the winter. Gerald Gaß, the Chairman of the Board of the German Hospital Federation, advised high-risk patients, their close contacts and healthcare workers to keep their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations up to date. Due to constant stress triggered by crises and workload-related pressures, the number of heart patients have also increased in recent years. At the end of August, entire neighborhoods and streets in Paris were closed off to spray insecticides against tiger mosquitoes, which spread diseases like dengue and Zika viruses, among others. This is reason enough for us to examine three companies fighting these threats.

Doublers are possible! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - It is hard to believe!
In 2022, a total of 19.5 million people received the shocking diagnosis of "cancer". Current trends, unfortunately, suggest that this number will continue to rise in the coming years. However, thanks to growing research successes, there is hope that biotechnology will significantly increase the chances of survival for those affected. It is a matter of developing suitable active substances and launching modern therapies. mRNA technology has recently made a name for itself in cancer prevention. Innovative biotech companies are back on the radar of risk-conscious investors. We are on the lookout for doubling potential.
