Made in the USA: Bayer caught in a customs trap? What about Argo Graphene Solutions and BASF?
The new US-EU trade pact is creating deep rifts. While many European exports are groaning under the 15% tariffs, exceptions and location strategies are deciding who the winners and losers will be. Bayer and BASF are facing rising costs, but their innovative strength offers the key to limiting the damage. Argo Graphene Solutions, on the other hand, is strategically well-protected thanks to its US subsidiary and can take a relaxed approach to the customs issue. Those who identify the right levers now will turn trade risks into returns. Three companies, three ways through the tariff jungle. We take a look at how each is dealing with the new landscape.

Trump's Tariffs & Takeovers! BioNTech, PanGenomic Health, Pfizer, and Valneva Targeted by Speculators
The US-EU tariff agreement has now been finalized. Many sectors of the European economy will now face additional burdens and margin cuts. The biotech and pharmaceutical industries have been spared, as medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients are among the few product groups that are traditionally traded duty-free in transatlantic trade. This is due to international agreements, such as the WTO Pharmaceutical Agreement, which both the EU and the US have signed. Clinical trial drugs, active ingredient imports, and vaccines are also mostly exempt from tariffs. Valneva is currently making headlines with its chikungunya vaccine, BioNTech and Pfizer are continuing to sell COVID-19 vaccines on a small scale, and PanGenomic is surprising everyone with a new AI-powered health platform. A lot is going on in the sector – who are the big earners?

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?

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.

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.

A turning point in German healthcare! Are we moving closer to the US model? PanGenomic Health, Bayer, and Nestlé
Are US-style conditions soon coming to Germany? Health economist Jürgen Wasem is calling for greater patient cost-sharing. Certain medications could be made available over the counter, allowing patients to access them more easily at their own expense. This could help reduce costs. This form of self-medication has long been common in the US, where people with certain ailments naturally turn to over-the-counter preparations or potent health foods. How can investors benefit from this trend? We present the shares of Bayer, Nestlé, and PanGenomic Health!
