Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions, Bavarian Nordic – Opportunities after a horror week
The past trading week was one to forget for the biotech and medtech sectors. With the nomination of the anti-vaccine Robert F. Kennedy as the future US Secretary of Health, stocks such as Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech lost disproportionately. Even the broadly diversified Nasdaq Biotech Index closed with a weekly loss of over 10%. However, many analysts see the sudden slide as an attractive entry opportunity.

Takeover speculation and momentum: BioNTech, Rheinmetall, Vidac Pharma
BioNTech aims to strengthen its cancer-fighting pipeline by acquiring the Chinese biotech firm Biotheus. The Mainz-based company is laying out up to USD 950 million for the company, which specializes in the development of therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. This is the latest example of takeovers in the cancer sector. Vidac Pharma, with a market capitalization of just over EUR 30 million, appears to be favorably valued. Analysts share this view, as Vidac is working on a revolutionary cancer therapy. While Vidac's share price jumped in the second half of the year, Rheinmetall consolidated. Will the defense stock be able to break out with the tailwind from Trump?

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Bayer AG: Contrasts in Q3: Established companies under pressure, newcomers with breakthroughs
Established DAX corporations such as Bayer AG and Daimler Truck, a Mercedes-Benz Group company, are facing a headwind in the third quarter of 2024. However, the Canadian cleantech specialist dynaCERT is on the verge of its commercial breakthrough. The Leverkusen-based Bayer Group has to revise its forecast downwards. The agriculture business, in particular, is a cause for concern, while the pharmaceuticals division is scoring points with new drugs. At Daimler Truck, strong business in North America is stabilizing the balance sheet, while business in Europe is under pressure. dynaCERT, on the other hand, has received the valuable Verra certification for its hydrogen technology for diesel optimization after twenty years of development work. Investors finally have a viable hydrogen use case for logistics.

The acquisition carousel is gaining momentum! Evotec, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, and Formycon in focus
The biotech sector is in the spotlight again today. Triton's entry into Evotec means that another deal is in the works, and investors should now take notice. Many still remember MorphoSys, where there were short-term gains of up to 400% at the beginning of the year. Before that, the stock had been trading with high volumes. Will Formycon or Vidac Pharma be next on the list? Formycon is now getting significantly more attention because the stock switched to the Prime Standard. Evotec has once again disappointed operationally, yet the value has increased by a good 50% in just two months. Those who analyze carefully can profit again. A sharp analytical eye is worthwhile.

SHARE PRICES EXPLODE as biotech stocks rise! BioNTech, Evotec, Nyxoah
Is Evotec about to make a quick turnaround? A financial investor is positioning itself for a potential takeover, and the stock surged significantly in the last days. Does this mean that the disappointment over the quarterly figures has been forgotten? Could Nyxoah's stock be the next to skyrocket? The chances of this are good. The medtech company expects FDA approval for the first quarter of 2025 and aims to roll out its main product across the US market next year. Analysts see billion-dollar potential, rapidly increasing revenues, and a favourable P/E ratio. BioNTech shares are also benefiting from a rating upgrade by renowned analysts. The target price has been raised significantly. Could this help the German biotech leader break out of its recent consolidation phase?

Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, Bayer - Billion-Dollar Gene Therapy Market Attracts Investors
Two trends are emerging in the pharmaceutical industry: personalized medicine, which tailors therapies to the genetic profile of individual patients, and the development of highly specific active ingredients that target biological mechanisms. Vidac Pharma is one of the companies focusing on these targeted therapies and recently received a groundbreaking US patent for its innovative approach to normalizing cancer cell metabolism - a concept known as the "Warburg effect reversal." BioNTech is driving its transformation from COVID-19 vaccine producer to cancer specialist, with promising Phase II trials underway for treatments targeting lung and breast cancers. Bayer, meanwhile, is under pressure due to disappointing sales of its partner Regeneron's eye drug Eylea® – the second most important product in the portfolio, which has to hold its own against growing competition. Where is an investment worthwhile?

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?
