Already up 180% in 2024 - Who offers more? BioNTech, Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, or Evotec?
For investors in the biotech sector, 2024 has been a very rocky year. Everyone is waiting for the big breakthrough, which has yet to appear. In a sector where there is no longer a pandemic and cancer research is still stuck, selection has become very important. Complicating matters is the investor-unfriendly capital market interest rate, with hopes resting on support from central banks quarter by quarter. This makes it all the more important to identify and follow the most innovative business models. BioNTech does not currently have a blockbuster but still has a good EUR 17 billion in its coffers. Pharmaceutical giant Bayer has seen its share price drop to a fifth of its 2019 value, and Evotec also resembles a disaster. Cardiol Therapeutics has performed well so far - what is next for them?

Biotech stocks with a comeback! BioNTech, Evotec, Vidac Pharma
Avian flu has caused vaccine stocks such as BioNTech, Moderna and CureVac to soar in the past week; however, more is needed to ensure a sustainable comeback. BioNTech plans to achieve this with cancer drugs. In an interview with "Handelsblatt", BioNTech's CEO expressed his optimism about significantly reducing the mortality rate. The Mainz-based company plans to launch its first drugs on the market as early as 2026. Vidac Pharma is pursuing a revolutionary approach in the fight against cancer. The London-based biotech company has published promising study data and is being traded as a takeover candidate. And what about Evotec? The problem child of the current year has extended a partnership but continues to search for a trigger to drive its stock up.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Morphosys - On the verge of a breakout
Compared to the broader indices, DAX and Dow Jones, which have already reached new all-time highs, the Nasdaq Biotech Index is currently lagging. The sector index is still around 23% below its peak from August 2021. Nevertheless, the sector is on the move. In addition to takeovers, which have increased dramatically in 2024, many companies have important study results in the pipeline that could kick-start a rally.

Share price shock at Siemens Energy! What are BioNTech and Cardiol Therapeutics doing?
The Siemens Energy share has been one of the surprises of recent months. It has more than doubled since the beginning of the year. Is a crash now imminent? Yes, if you believe Bernstein. Their analysts are shocking us with a horror price target. The Cardiol Therapeutics share performed even better than Siemens Energy in 2024. Despite the 150% rally, analysts see upside potential for the cardiovascular disease specialist. Things will get really exciting at the beginning of June when new study results are due. BioNTech, on the other hand, is currently failing to convince analysts. Reactions to the latest quarterly figures were modest.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Novavax - Major events
The biotechnology sector is still on the move and is currently characterized by a high degree of volatility. For instance, BioNTech, a former star during the pandemic, reported a net loss of EUR 315 million in the first quarter. The Mainz-based biotech now wants to focus more on the development of its cancer drugs due to the slump in demand for COVID-19 vaccines. However, for years, innovative, undiscovered companies have existed in this billion-dollar market that could, with their technologies, become the new high-flyers in the biotech industry.

Biotech and pharma stocks finally follow suit! Novo Nordisk, Bayer, BioNTech, Vidac Pharma and Evotec on the buy list
Things looked very different at the beginning of the year. After a brilliant rally in the Nasdaq Biotech Index at the end of last year, investors thought the upswing could continue in 2024. So far, this hope has not been confirmed. The main focus for the industry is the refinancing conditions. These have gradually deteriorated, as stubborn inflation is keeping central bank interest rates high. And judging by the wording of central bankers, the next interest rate cut does not seem to be penciled in yet. However, if it happens in the summer, things will likely move quickly for the life sciences sector. Then a quick sector rotation is the order of the day! Here is our buy list for the upcoming event.

BUY RECOMMENDATIONS! Are Evotec, Super Micro Computer, and Royal Helium about to take off?
Evotec's share price has plummeted by around 50% this year. Consequently, the stock is among the year's losers. However, several buy recommendations are raising eyebrows. Is the turnaround imminent? The Royal Helium share is also ripe for a turnaround. The little-known noble gas is used in the defense industry, medical technology and for quantum computers, among other things. Royal Helium aims to transition from an explorer into a producer and has enlisted strong partners to achieve this. Will the share see a breakthrough after the ongoing capital increase? And what about Super Micro Computer? The AI high-flyer seems to have overcome its phase of weakness. Is it now heading for new all-time highs?

Novo Nordisk, Cardiol Therapeutics, Pfizer - Pharma Watchlist: Three top innovators
In the rapidly evolving world of biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry, a single drug can make all the difference, especially when these drugs are unique.

Bayer on the path out of crisis. With their oncology pipelines, are Defence Therapeutics and BioNTech also on the verge of a turnaround?
After several years of stumbling from one crisis to another, pharmaceutical and agrochemical giant Bayer is now showing signs of a recovery on the horizon.

Is it time already? Get out of AI, and buy biotech: Nvidia, Evotec, Defence Therapeutics and Bayer in focus
Another blow to the bottom line! At the end of April, the Nasdaq technology exchange plummeted for the third time, again showing significant weakness at 17,333 points.

At the same time, some stocks in the biotech sector are forming good bottom formations. Is now the time to switch?
