UBS Maintains Buy on Corteva, Lowers Price Target to $73

On Thursday, Truist initiated coverage on BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), a famed COVID-19 vaccine maker, in collaboration with Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).
BioNTech is transitioning from a COVID-focused narrative to a story centered on oncology drug development <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42370209/why-is-biontech-stock-trading-higher-on-friday" rel="noreferrer noopener">and upcoming catalysts.</a>
The analyst, Asthika Goonewardene, writes that BNT327 is at the forefront, a promising drug in an innovative class that could challenge and potentially surpass the PD-1 category, which generated over $42 billion in 2023.

While Summit Therapeutics Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMMT#NASDAQ">SMMT</a>) ivonescimab may have a head start in certain areas, BioNTech&#8217;s stronger financial position and pipeline of complementary products give it a strategic edge. With several key data updates expected in 2025, the stock appears well-positioned for long-term growth, the analyst adds.
In November, BioNTech agreed to acquire&nbsp;Biotheus, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibodies for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41949384/biontech-boosts-oncology-strategy-with-800-million-china-based-biotheus-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">oncological or inflammatory diseases</a>.
With the acquisition, BioNTech will obtain full global rights to the late-stage clinical asset BNT327/PM8002, an investigational bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF-A.
Truist initiated with a Buy rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BNTX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $172</a>.
BioNTech&#8217;s oncology pipeline was previously seen as limited in value outside BNT316. However, with BNT327 gaining traction and new data expected in 2025 to clarify the potential of other pipeline assets, there is room for greater investor appreciation of the company&#8217;s oncology portfolio, Truist analyst adds.
Goonewardene also writes that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41715307/biontech-variant-adapted-covid-19-vaccines-do-well-in-q3" rel="noreferrer noopener">COVID-19 remains a significant factor</a> in BioNTech&#8217;s stock performance and that COVID-related developments will continue to influence BioNTech&#8217;s stock.
The analyst highlights that BNT327 could be the first drug approved in the U.S. and Europe for key conditions like triple-negative breast cancer and small cell lung cancer, potentially generating around $2 billion at peak sales.
For non-small cell lung cancer, Truist expects BNT327 to follow shortly, contributing over $4 billion in revenue.
Price Action: BNTX stock is up 0.55% at $122.82 at last check Friday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Affirm Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Affirm Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.01%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

On Wednesday,&nbsp;Vir Biotechnology, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIR#NASDAQ">VIR</a>) presented initial Phase 1 data from two of its dual-masked T-cell engagers (TCEs): VIR-5818, which targets a variety of HER2-expressing solid tumors, and VIR-5500, which targets PSMA in metastatic castration-resistant&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42881652/vir-biotechnology-stock-jumps-after-prostate-cancer-trial-data" rel="noreferrer noopener">prostate cancer (mCRPC)</a>.
Data show encouraging preliminary safety and efficacy profiles with no dose-limiting cytokine release syndrome, maximum tolerated dose not yet reached as dose escalation continues, and early clinical response signals observed in heavily pretreated participants.
On Thursday, Morgan Stanley upgraded Vir Biotechnology, noting that &#8220;initial data provide early platform de-risking and see potential for activity to improve as dose escalation continues.&#8221;
Early efficacy data indicate that 50% (10/20) of participants receiving VIR-5818 doses ≥400 µg/kg experienced dose-dependent tumor shrinkage across multiple HER2-positive tumor types.
Analyst Michael E Ulz, citing management, writes that the response rate of ~33% is adequate to accelerate development.
The analyst upgrades Vir Biotechnology from Equal-weight to Overweight with a price target of $20, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VIR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">up from $10</a>.
The Morgan Stanley analyst is optimistic about the early results, showing promising activity and manageable safety in both programs. They are awaiting data from higher doses to confirm safety and see stronger effectiveness.
Analyst Michael E Ulz writes that encouraging early results de-risks the TCE platform.
The model now includes VIR-5500 revenue projections for prostate cancer and slightly lower operating expenses based on revised cash guidance. However, the analyst has removed Hepatitis B revenues.
Price Action: VIR stock is up 0.24% at $12.51 at last check Friday.

Sometimes, while looking for stocks I'll come across a stock that has a weird chart:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="393" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/01163115/dusb-1024x393.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3741" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/01163115/dusb-1024x393.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/01163115/dusb-300x115.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/01163115/dusb-768x295.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/01163115/dusb.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>







As you can see above, there are sharp drops after dividends are paid out, and then the stock recoups to its original price, if not slightly higher. This happens because of the nature of stocks that pay dividends. For every dividend that a company pays out to investors, the value of the dividend is deducted from the share price. Most of the time this deduction is barely noticeable, but stocks like (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUSB#NYSE">DUSB</a>) are exceptions. 



When I first saw this chart, I thought the best strategy would be to buy right after the dividend, sell right before the next, and continue this cycle. But is this strategy valid? We can test two strategies for stocks like DUSB: continuously buying and selling and just buying and holding.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying and Selling</h2>



Continuously buying and selling between dividend dates, and reinvesting could be a good way to compound your money. But we won't know until we do the math. With an average growth between dividends of 0.43%, which they pay monthly, and an initial capital of $100,000, we can calculate the investment value at the end of 12 months as: 100,000(1.0043)12. Computing this gives a final value of $105,235.34, which is a year-over-year increase of 5.24%



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying and Holding</h2>



Because the drop in stock price is equal to the dividend paid out, they cancel each other out. So to calculate the return after a year, we can just use the simple interest formula. With an initial capital of $100,000, a monthly increase of 0.43% between dividend payments, and a period of a year (or 12 months), we get 100,000(1+0.0043&#x2A;12). This results in a final amount of $105,113.76, or a 5.11% increase.



Comparing the two strategies, continuously buying and selling is the more profitable strategy. The buying and selling strategy has a slight edge because the gains are reinvested, compounding the returns. But the reality is that neither strategy is great. Year over year both strategies caused a less than 7% increase in capital. Investing the same money in the S&amp;P 500 would return an average of 10% yearly, but can get as high as 30% in recent years. So if you come across a stock that moves like DUSB, unless there's a crazy increase between dividends, it&#8217;s not worth it to put money in it. This also reflects a larger lesson in investing. People love to find different gimmicks when looking at stocks, but often the most profitable investment strategy is the simplest.
