Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, Evotec - Is monkeypox providing new momentum in the biotech and pharma sector?
The recent outbreak of monkeypox has once again highlighted the critical importance of a rapid and effective response to emerging health threats.

Cardiol Therapeutics, Novo Nordisk, Bayer - Pharma stocks in focus
The healthcare sector promises further blockbusters for investors. Cardiol Therapeutics impresses with its promising Phase II study of CardiolRx™ for the treatment of the heart disease pericarditis. The growing market for pericarditis treatments offers the Company great potential, which has also been positively noted by analysts. The Danish company Novo Nordisk is experiencing impressive growth thanks to its GLP-1-based diabetes and obesity drugs. The active ingredient is causing a stir in the celebrity scene as an off-label weight loss injection, further boosting the Company's sales figures. Bayer AG is facing up to its challenges. Despite slight revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024, profits declined. Nevertheless, CEO Bill Anderson believes the Company is on the right track, particularly thanks to progress in the pharmaceutical pipeline. We have three companies in focus.

In the fight against cancer - 100% performance possible: Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Evotec, BioNTech and CureVac
The FED is giving new hope to the Biotech sector with lower interest rates, which are expected to happen as early as September. This is important for the near future, as share prices are lagging dramatically behind the NASDAQ performance in 2024. However, if extensive research can be financed under more favourable conditions, this should also help the stock market prices recover. The business models contain some good news, and selection is now crucial. We assist in selecting attractive stocks and provide entry levels.

Transformation in full swing: Altech, Volkswagen, and Bayer focus on new technologies and markets
Shortly after the grandiose Olympic opening ceremony, Paris showed us what it means to sit in the dark. One day after the opening ceremony, the inhabitants of the Seine were hit by a power outage. Speculation as to the cause ranges from a cyber attack to sabotage, similar to the recent arson attacks on the French rail network. But one thing is certain, it shows how fragile the power supply currently is. This is reason enough for Altech Advanced Materials to press ahead with the development of its stationary solid-state battery. A type of local battery power plant ensures a stable power supply, even with fluctuations in the grid due to wind and solar energy. The German company has another profitable development up its sleeve for the EV market. Volkswagen continues to focus on its electric vehicles and can look forward to increased sales in China. Nevertheless, the Wolfsburg-based company must make considerable savings to remain profitable. The results of the first half of the year provide deep insights. Additionally, for 27 million women in the US, ones battery can be figuratively "empty" at times. Fatigue, hot flashes, and nervousness are classic symptoms of menopause. 27 million is the market size of menopausal women that Bayer AG now aims to capture with a very special medication...

Evotec slashed, Bayer sued, and Cardiol Therapeutics share praised
Anyone speculating on a quick rebound for Evotec will be disappointed. At present, one can at most speak of a bottoming out. It is fitting that a renowned analyst has slashed his price target for the German biotech share. Or is it only half as bad? Analysts see massive upside potential for the shares of Cardiol Therapeutics. The share price has more than doubled in the current year and is currently consolidating. There is an exciting entry opportunity now that positive study results have fizzled out on the stock market. Bayer, on the other hand, simply cannot get out of the world's courtrooms. In the US, a new lawsuit has been filed against the Leverkusen-based company; in another case, a multi-million dollar payment must be made.

Viking Therapeutics, Vidac Pharma, Merck KGaA - In the footsteps of Novo Nordisk
Drugs for the treatment of diabetes and obesity have helped the pharmaceuticals manufacturer Novo Nordisk to become the most valuable listed company in Europe. But the competition is not sleeping. Many promising biotechs are already presenting new preparations that could overtake the Danes in the long term. Young companies with the chance of the next blockbuster also have great potential in other areas, such as cancer research.

BioNTech, CureVac, Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, and Evotec: Tripled and still in turbo mode?
On the stock market, separating the wheat from the chaff is essential, especially in the biotech sector. This task becomes challenging when ongoing studies conclude, and their results must be interpreted. The market does not always react correctly to announcements, as evidenced by this year's acquisition of MorphoSys. While the stock market rejected the supposedly poor results, Novartis built up the first favourable positions, ultimately acquiring the Munich-based company for EUR 2.7 billion. From a low of around EUR 12, the acquisition price was a high EUR 68, making it a 500% deal. But opportunities are always lurking. Here is a selection of promising candidates.

BioNTech, Bayer, Vidac Pharma: Buy recommendations and potential worth billions
Can BioNTech shares stop the downward trend? A "Buy" recommendation gives hope. According to this recommendation, the shares of the German biotech flagship have the potential to double in value. Analysts believe a multiplication is possible for Vidac Pharma. The biotech company is pursuing a revolutionary approach in the fight against cancer, and the first drug has a revenue potential of over EUR 1 billion. Even though research is still ongoing, Vidac is not expensive with a market capitalization of less than EUR 10 million, and is a takeover candidate if the study data remain positive. Analysts do not currently see any impetus for an increase in Bayer's share price. However, shareholders should be ready for news from the pharmaceutical pipeline in the coming weeks. These are important for the DAX-listed company.

Siemens Energy share down 50%? Now time to buy Rheinmetall, Bayer, and Saturn Oil + Gas?
Can the Siemens Energy share halve in value? At least, that is what the analysts at Bernstein think, who have set a price target of EUR 15. After a strong rally, the focus is now back on the Company's problem areas, such as India. Rheinmetall, on the other hand, is recommended as a "Buy". Can the armaments group thus end its sideways movement? In an initial study, analysts see around 50% upside potential for Saturn Oil & Gas. The oil company intends to significantly increase its free cash flow in the coming years but is considered undervalued compared to its peers. Some analysts see even more potential. Analysts are cautious about Bayer shares. In addition to the well-known legal disputes, operational issues are also a burden.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Prepared for the next wave
The assassination attempt on former and possibly future US President Donald Trump was clearly the dominant topic at the weekend, causing both gold and the largest cryptocurrencies to surge at the start of the week. Still largely unnoticed, however, the COVID-19 figures are rising again, especially in the United States, which could halt the downward spiral for vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna.
