MorphoSys and Cardiol Therapeutics in upward mode, while Bayer and Pfizer are in slow mode
The biotech sector has made a very differentiated start to the new year. While the old favorites are barely moving, the second-line stocks MorphoSys and Cardiol Therapeutics are making a real splash. At Bayer, the bad news just won't go away, and despite a successful major takeover, Pfizer has not yet found its forward gear. After a rally of almost 15% in December, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI) has taken a pause in the current year. Now, everyone is waiting for the first interest rate cut by central banks. Inflation is already falling, and the negative economic data for the Eurozone is increasing. The ECB would normally be in demand. What should investors urgently keep an eye on?

Plug Power, Bayer, Defense Metals: Shares in panic mode
Is everything not so bad at Plug Power, after all? In January, the hydrogen specialist triggered panic among investors with an announced capital increase. Now, the CEO is suddenly rowing back. So, should one buy the stock now? One analyst advises caution. Bayer shareholders are also in panic mode. The downward trend of the share simply cannot find a bottom. Even at this level, analysts are cautious. Defense Metals, on the other hand, is benefiting from panic - because this concerns the supply of rare earths. The dependence on China is enormous. Defense Metals aims to change this with its rare earth project in Canada. The Company CEO expressed confidence in an interview, stating that an important agreement has been reached with the local population, and important dates are on the horizon.

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Biotech and Pharma suddenly back in focus
Biotech ETFs have been on the rise since the end of October 2023. German biotech companies were able to raise more funds again last year. There are increasing signs that the tough times for investors in biotech and pharmaceutical companies are over. There is also growing activity on the takeover side. Most recently, the takeover bid from Novartis shifted the focus to companies in the healthcare sector. The Swiss pharmaceutical company wants to acquire MorphoSys for EUR 2.7 billion and thus fill up its oncology pipeline. We have selected three companies from the biotech and pharma sectors and examined their current situation.

Novo Nordisk, Cardiol Therapeutics, Morphosys - Biotechs on a high
After a disappointing stock market year 2023, there is a gold-rush mood in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. Big names such as Eli Lilly, Vertex, Amgen and Novartis are going from high to high and possess enormous momentum. Acquisitions have also increased dramatically in recent months. The takeover prices are usually significantly higher than the current share prices of the listed companies. This wave will likely increase further due to the pressure that pharmaceutical giants are feeling as licenses expire.

Bayer, Almonty Industries, Volkswagen - Three hot stocks for the portfolio
While all eyes are on the Fed decision on January 31, and many investors are in a waiting position, one can embark on the search for stocks with significant upside potential. We have identified three exciting stocks whose share prices are far from reaching their potential. Each company has its own story. Bayer is struggling with the Monsanto takeover and rising costs in Germany. Almonty Industries is constructing the largest tungsten mine outside China and is already in production in Europe. Volkswagen aims to transition the entire group to electromobility, which is a colossal task. Which of these three candidates has the most potential?

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Biotech sector still on the upswing
The market is currently in an exceptional phase in the biotechnology sector. Following the record year of 2023, the number of M&A transactions continues to increase in the current year. The reason is clear. Many pharmaceutical giants are under pressure due to the expiration of many patents for high-revenue drugs. On the other hand, smaller, innovative companies are trading at attractive valuation levels following the corrections of recent years. In previous transactions, the acquirers paid significantly more than the current market value.

Demo against the right, overtake the left with these stocks! PayPal, Saturn Oil + Gas, Evotec and Bayer
Millions of people are on the streets, demonstrating for democracy. However, democracy also means pluralism, tolerance and fair discourse. It remains to be seen whether the politicians currently in power will eventually embrace these principles. The stock market is also a mass phenomenon, with many things developing in the same direction without much reflection. The herd instinct has both good and bad sides; on the capital markets, it often leads to irrational hype movements, as seen recently in the artificial intelligence sector. This technology is not an economic panacea either, as the elimination of jobs through the use of learning machines leads to less growth at the end of the day. As in all things, we need to use our heads, especially when it comes to the white knights of our future. Where are the opportunities for investors?

More than 100% upside potential - Buy recommendations for BASF, Evotec and Saturn Oil + Gas
After the price slide of recent weeks, Evotec shares appear to be ripe for a countermovement. In a conference call, the Company attempted to provide clarification and seems to have convinced analysts. Expert opinions on BASF are divided. Has the bottom been reached after the preliminary figures? At least the dividend yield of 8% is attractive. Investors are also anticipating a high dividend from Saturn Oil & Gas soon. Analysts see more than 100% upside potential in the shares of the junior oil producer. The valuation is significantly lower than the peer group. The Canadian company will significantly reduce its debt in the current year, making the share increasingly attractive in terms of free cash flow and enterprise value. The latest drilling program has also produced strong results.

Morphosys on the verge of a short squeeze? Evotec share drops like a stone! Almonty Industries is exciting!
Share price disaster at Evotec. The shares of the German biotech company are falling like a stone in 2024 and have already lost over 30% of their value in just a few trading days. This results from the CEO's surprising resignation and delayed reports of insider transactions. "Manager-Magazin" added fuel to the fire with an article. Morphosys, on the other hand, is taking off. The blood cancer drug Pelabresib is causing speculation and price swings. Could there even be a short squeeze? The Almonty Industries share is also exciting at the moment. The shares of the raw materials company, which focuses on tungsten, appear to have bottomed out and are starting an upward trend. Operationally, Almonty is facing exciting times. Analysts expect the tungsten producer to more than triple its turnover between 2023 and 2025. Given the expected profit in the coming year, the share is anything but expensive.

Biotech: Corona is back! The doublers are lurking here: BioNTech, Evotec, Defence Therapeutics and Bayer
We had almost forgotten about Corona and the good old flu, but it is back in full swing. Governments are remaining calm and holding on to their regained liberalism. However, Spain is now resorting to drastic measures again to protect vulnerable population groups. A mask is to be compulsory again in all Spanish healthcare facilities due to the increase in respiratory diseases. Health Minister Mónica García had previously failed to convince the Spanish regions of the need to introduce compulsory masks of their own accord. In some parts of the country, hospital emergency rooms are under severe pressure due to high patient numbers. Biotech stocks are showing the first signs of recovery after the sell-off in 2023. We take a look at a few selected stocks with 100% potential.
