BASF shares on the upswing, BioNTech sees breakthrough in cancer, and Defence Therapeutics benefits from study

  • Biotechnology

  • Cancer

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?

  • Biotechnology
  • Cancer

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

  • Biotechnology

  • Cancer

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

  • Biotechnology
  • Cancer
  • Covid19

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.

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.

MediGene, BioNTech, BioNxt Solutions - New opportunities after the correction

  • Biotechnology

Acquisitions by big pharma were increasingly expected in the biotechnology sector last year, but these largely failed to materialize. However, this trend could accelerate in the current year. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies, such as the vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, have deep pockets and need new innovations for their product portfolio. On the other hand, second-tier stocks are attractive targets due to the strong correction.

In the past year, the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index took a severe beating until mid-June. In the meantime, an initial upward trend has developed, and the market is slowly heating up again because some biotech companies are still valued too cheaply. This is when the big players strike, such as Merck & Co, which recently bought Prometheus Biosciences for USD 10.8 billion. The buyer thus paid a premium of a whopping 75% on the previous day's closing price. The biotech start-up Tubulis has also agreed on a collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb that could bring more than USD 1 billion into the Munich-based company's coffers. Reason enough to take a look at three companies from the pharmaceutical and biotech sector.

BioNxt Solutions, Bayer, Morphosys - Using high-speed technology to beat cancer in men

  • Biotechnology

Cancer drugs dominate the global pharmaceutical market and register a significant share. While the global market was worth around EUR 128.6 billion in 2019, it is expected to be around EUR 159.3 billion in 2022. This is reason enough for pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer and Morphosys to advance their research in these areas. Men are particularly affected by specific types of cancer. But what good is the best therapeutic agent if the effect is not achieved immediately? This is precisely where BioNxt Solutions comes in, with a unique coating technology for the rapid release of active substances.
