Alternative to BioNTech, Evotec, and Co.: BioNxt Solutions impresses at investor conference and sparks takeover speculation
While the shares of BioNTech and Evotec are treading water, BioNxt Solutions is on an upward trajectory. The Company is currently shaking up Big Pharma. The announcement to replace the weight-loss injection Ozempic with an oral dissolvable film has sparked takeover speculation. BioNxt also aims to make waves in multiple sclerosis, another multi-billion-dollar market, by significantly simplifying the administration of a blockbuster drug for patients. At last week's IIF investor conference, the management board delivered a convincing presentation. Partnerships and licensing opportunities were outlined - assuming no acquisition occurs beforehand. This could prove highly rewarding for both a pharmaceutical company and shareholders.

Gold mining stocks in takeover fever! Barrick Mining and Newmont are selling! B2Gold neighbor Desert Gold in the crosshairs?
Takeover fever is sweeping through the gold sector. The typical cycle of the industry appears to be repeating itself once again: with the rising price of gold, which remains solidly above USD 3,600, the appetite for takeovers is also growing. Gold producers are earning more, and banks and private equity firms are opening their coffers for mergers and acquisitions. For large and small mining companies alike, the current market phase offers an opportunity to expand their portfolios, optimize projects, or reposition themselves through strategic sales and purchases. Barrick and Newmont are currently raising billions through asset sales, boosting their war chests. In contrast, Desert Gold - a neighbor of B2Gold - could soon see a partner come on board or even become an acquisition target. Analysts see significant upside potential for the share.

Takeover candidate! Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly eyeing BioNxt Solutions
A portfolio rocket for the coming weeks? The shares of BioNxt Solutions are certainly worth a closer look. There was no sign of a summer slump at this company - quite the opposite, as one major announcement followed another, and the newsflow continues into September. The Canadian-German life sciences company specializes in innovative drug delivery technologies. The latest bombshell: BioNxt aims to replace the Ozempic weight-loss injection with a tablet-like oral form of administration. This move opens the door to another billion-dollar market and positions the Company as a takeover candidate. Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, and others are engaged in fierce competition and are hungry for innovations – like those developed by BioNxt. The stock remains attractively priced.

TAKEOVER SPECULATION! Barrick Mining, Evotec, Desert Gold
Just like the high prices, takeover speculation in the gold sector is also continuing. Desert Gold is repeatedly mentioned as a candidate. With its exciting acquisition in West Africa, the explorer has diversified and made itself even more attractive to a large corporation. Perhaps Barrick? The heavyweight is currently focusing on its ore mines and selling smaller projects. It could then expand again in the gold sector, and Desert certainly fits in regionally. In the biotech sector, Evotec has long been rumored as a takeover candidate. Following the latest revenue warning, this is likely the only hope for investors to achieve short-term returns. Or was the price slide exaggerated?

At BioNTech, it will be exciting at the end of March, because the Mainz-based company needs new blockbusters. At Morphosys, analysts recently saw further downside potential. Will a new management board bring about a turnaround? Evotec also had little positive to report. However, an AI investment in the hype surrounding ChatGPT is making headlines.
