Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech, BYD - At top speed to new markets
Cardiol Therapeutics is enjoying a remarkable development. The biotech company is now rolling out its ARCHER patient recruitment trial internationally at 35 participating centers. This accelerates research in the development of their therapy to combat myocarditis, a heart inflammation which has been associated with COVID-19 vaccination. For Cardiol Therapeutics, this represents an opportunity to get its therapy approved as an orphan drug. Approval is also at stake for BioNTech. With a multimillion-dollar funding boost, the Company is working on accelerated approval for a vaccine against a virus that caused quite a stir last year. The shortened development time is likely to impress investors. While business nations agree on fighting viruses, they disagree on commodities for the road. The EU would prefer to restrict BYD's successful sales on domestic roads - by imposing tariffs. BYD, meanwhile, is tapping into a completely different market.

Almonty Industries, Covestro, Bayer AG - Which stocks are taking off?
Energy, pharmaceuticals and defence are the performance candidates of the hour. To support further economic growth, countries like South Korea and France are turning to nuclear power, which requires the metal tungsten. Almonty Industries, which has specialized in the mining and processing of this rare metal since 2009, is particularly eye-catching here. The current takeover talks of the DAX-listed group Covestro show how valuable know-how can be. The Abu Dhabi-based oil company Adnoc is very interested in Covestro's specialist knowledge of plastics for e-mobility, building insulation and adhesives. Bayer AG also demonstrates significant expertise. Researchers at its US subsidiary BlueRock Therapeutics have achieved a breakthrough in treating Parkinson's disease. Find out which shares are now taking off here.

Biotech: Poison cocktail or miracle cure? Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys, Pfizer
Biotech stocks represent both light and dark. At the end of 2020, BioNtech turned the tide of the pandemic with its Comirnaty vaccine. But many shareholders have also had to endure losses. An example of a loss-maker is the share of the SDAX stock MorphoSys. Between 2020 and 2022, the share lost more than 80%. But what were the reasons for the decline? Are there biotech companies that offer better prospects? We shed light on three stocks from the biotech and healthcare sectors.

Biotech with tailwind - Newron Pharmaceuticals, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech
There is a lot of activity in the biotechnology sector, even though the broadly diversified Nasdaq Biotech Index reflects this with a performance of only 1% since the beginning of the year. In addition to the increasing number of acquisitions by Big Pharma, promising technologies from second-tier companies are performing extremely well. Furthermore, the surging COVID-19 statistics are instilling hope in vaccine producers as they aim to revive their slumping sales.

Better than Nel & Co.? Megatrend shares Redcare Pharmacy and Cantourage Group recommended as buy
Hydrogen has electrified investors for years. But pure-plays like Plug Power and Nel & Co. are struggling to get their numbers in order and are far from profitable business models. As a result, these shares are not much fun at the moment, and analysts see further downside potential. In such a situation, it is worth taking a look at other megatrend stocks. Redcare Pharmacy (formerly Shop Apotheke) is benefiting from online pharmacy and e-prescription trends. The share has already more than doubled this year. Investors can profit from the cannabis trend with the German Cantourage Group. The Company is growing strongly and the share price has come to rest (before the storm). Both shares are recommended to buy by analysts.

Course Rockets of Yesterday - and Tomorrow: Innocan Pharma, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics
According to the information service IQVIA, dietary supplements generate almost EUR 3 billion in sales in Germany - and the trend is rising.

Today, we highlight three stocks that could benefit from increased health awareness.

Climate change or just a heat wave? - BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, and Redcare Pharmacy deliver!
Whether this consistently warm summer already documents a pronounced climate change is questionable. The older ones among us remember that there were already very hot summers before and that even in the last 30 years, there was rarely snow at Christmas. However, human life is simply too short for significant conclusions. Therefore, long-term weather records have to be consulted. There will probably be a slight increase in average temperatures, but we will get little information about when the next ice age will hit us. For many politicians, the current weather trends fit perfectly into the chain of arguments in favor of radical legislative proposals. Perhaps, however, the caprices of the weather are only the offshoots of the approaching El Nino. The stock market also follows changing trends; after the flood, an ebb could now be imminent. Selection remains key!

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Who will have trend-setting news first?
Pharmaceutical and biotech stocks are among the most volatile sectors in the financial markets. Single news stories about new developments or product announcements can not only cause short-term price swings but also have long-term implications, increasing both risk and opportunity for investors. If a breakthrough drug is developed, old preparations can become obsolete - this is good for the innovative company but detrimental to established market participants. As an investor, it is advisable to select specific companies and anticipate directional news through some research.

Viva Gold Corp., Novo Nordisk, Vonovia - Gold Rush in Nevada - Dampened mood in Bochum
Viva Gold Corporation is reporting promising progress at its Tonopah Gold Project. Drilling to date proves that the Company can expand new, shallow, high-grade zones of gold mineralization in the Nevada area. For those searching for affordable housing in Germany, affordable living space has become the new gold in recent years. In light of the latest quarterly results, Group CEO Rolf Buch says Vonovia should be charging EUR 20 rent per sqm. Affordable housing is thin on the ground in Germany. Thin is the magic word for the fat plus of the Novo Nordisk share. Since the weight loss injection Ozempic has been on the market, the share price of the Danish pharmaceutical company has been rising inexorably.

Well positioned for the future - BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Sanofi
There is currently a lot of movement in the capital-intensive biotech sector. After second-tier companies, in particular, were hit hard by the effects of tighter monetary policy last year and at times traded below their cash levels, many are now considered hot takeover candidates thanks to their innovative technologies. The well-heeled pharma giants must act to avoid missing out on future blockbusters.
