US election and the biotech sector – A hot November is on the cards! BioNTech, Pfizer, Nyxoah, Bayer or Evotec?
With anticipation building for both the Q3 earnings season and the US election results, the markets are in a wait-and-see mode. Democrat frontrunner Kamala Harris is said to be committed to continuing the successful policies of her predecessor Joe Biden. Of course, science, research and climate protection are in the spotlight. Her rival, Donald Trump, is said to be more concerned with strengthening the traditional economy, where automotive engineering, the defense industry and security companies come to the fore. Additionally, markets are looking to central banks for cues, as lower interest rates would be a boon for the biotech sector. Here are some investment ideas for dynamic investors in this promising climate.

Takeover fever and buy recommendation! Evotec, Nel ASA, Barrick Gold, Desert Gold
A hot takeover candidate in the gold sector is Desert Gold. Gold production in West Africa is expected to start in 2025. It is quite possible that one of the major gold companies will make a move by then. After the disappointing quarterly figures from Barrick Gold and Newmont calls for takeovers are growing louder. Analysts see significant upside potential. In the biotech sector, Evotec is repeatedly being discussed as a takeover candidate. The core business is considered extremely attractive, and the new CEO is expected to eliminate all the legacy issues this year. Next week will be exciting! And then there is Nel. Operationally, things are not going well for the former hydrogen star. Can the collaboration with a potential buyer turn things around?

Nyxoah, Bayer and Palantir - The billion-dollar precision medicine market: Why investors are now taking notice
Precision medicine is revolutionizing global healthcare: Experts predict that this future market will reach over USD 175 billion by 2028, driven by the growing demand for individualized treatment methods. Three companies stand out in particular: Belgian medical technology company Nyxoah is developing a mask-free therapy for the 936 million people worldwide with sleep apnea with its Genio system, while Bayer AG is revolutionizing fertility treatment through real-time hormone monitoring through its partnership with Impli. With its foundry platform, technology leader Palantir enables pharmaceutical giant Sanofi to analyze the health data of over 300 million patients. These patient-centered innovations not only promise better treatment outcomes for millions of people but also present investors access to one of the most dynamic growth markets in the healthcare sector.

Biotech – Are takeovers looming amidst curious prices? Evotec, Bayer, Vidac Pharma and BioNTech in the spotlight
The biotech sector is once again in the spotlight. Since the acquisition of MorphoSys at the beginning of the year, the speculation carousel is turning again. Is Evotec next, or maybe Vidac Pharma? The Hamburg-based drug specialist came under fire from short-sellers after the resignation of long-standing CEO Lanthaler, who had shorted over 4% of the capital by mid-September. However, the price stubbornly held above the EUR 5 mark, and yesterday saw a 10% rise to EUR 6.60. What is behind this? Last week, it was Vidac Pharma that surged 300% from a standing start with enormous trading volumes. The thought processes of market participants are evident: interest rates are falling, making refinancing attractive again for upcoming financial investors. We shed light on the key players.

More than 100% upside potential! Bayer, Plug Power and 123fahrschule – Which stock is convincing?
Analysts see more than a 100% upside potential in the 123fahrschule stock. The exciting second-line stock wants to make driver education more modern and efficient and is getting support from politicians. Accordingly, sales and profits should rise sharply. Plug Power can also show rising sales, but like industry colleague Nel, the Americans are unable to get a grip on their losses. Will the quarterly figures turn things around? Bayer shareholders have been waiting for a turnaround for quite some time. But analysts also expect falling profits in the coming quarterly report. Is there still potential for a 40% increase in the DAX share?

Bavarian Nordic, NYXOAH, Rani Therapeutics - Biotechnology on the verge of a quantum leap
The future looks promising for biotechnology. The factors pointing to this are plain to see. Besides short-term stimuli such as the decline in inflation and potential further interest rate cuts, demographic change is providing a tailwind. By 2060, the global population over the age of 65 is expected to reach 1.7 billion. In addition, increasing prosperity is contributing to lifestyle diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry urgently needs new products from innovative biotech companies, as numerous patents are set to expire in the coming years.

Saturn Oil + Gas, Bayer, Siemens Energy: Three companies for balance in volatile times
In uncertain times like these, a balanced portfolio is crucial for every investor. Also, in view of the upcoming US election, diversification across different sectors is worthwhile to offset fluctuations in the portfolio. Saturn Oil & Gas relies on a combination of share buybacks and targeted acquisitions. With an adjusted EBITDA of approximately CAD 400 million, the Company is demonstrating its financial strength and potential for further growth. By applying for approval of a drug for menopausal symptoms to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Bayer AG is targeting a global market that is expected to grow to a remarkable USD 26.97 billion by 2031. Global player Siemens Energy is focusing on the reorganization of its wind business and its participation in offshore wind energy projects. The early contract extension of CEO Christian Bruch until 2030 underlines the confidence in the current course. Today, we have three companies in focus.

Volkswagen and Bayer with problems – 123fahrschule, on the other hand, with great growth potential
As the German economy undergoes a profound transformation, traditional industries are facing significant challenges. Giants like Volkswagen and Bayer are experiencing difficult times with shrinking margins and structural changes. Volkswagen, Europe's leading automaker, is struggling with falling profits in its core brand despite high group earnings and is planning rigorous cost-cutting measures that could jeopardize jobs. Similarly, Bayer is being forced to make extensive job cuts and reorganize. However, in the midst of these crises, new opportunities are also emerging: companies like 123fahrschule are using innovative strategies to thrive in the education sector. Today, we take a closer look at these three companies.

Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Evotec – Enormous potential
Since the US Federal Reserve cut key interest rates and signaled a continuation of its loose monetary policy, the Nasdaq Biotech Index has been on an upward trajectory and has significantly outperformed the broader market in recent days. The correction of the past few months seems to be over in this sector, and the all-time high from August 2021 is within reach. In addition to rising share prices, the number of acquisitions is also increasing significantly, a sign of the undervaluation of many listed companies.
