BioNTech's Q3 Results Dip, but Omicron Vaccine Revenue Boosts Outlook
Stunning Quarterly Results Send Shockwaves Through BioNTech Share Market
BioNTech's wallet's shrunk a bit in Q3, with a plunge in revenue and net profit compared to the same period last year. Let's crack open the books: the biotech giant raked in €3.46 billion from July to September, a far cry from the €6 billion they banked in the same quarter the previous year. Net profit dipped from €3.21 billion to €1.78 billion during this period. But fear not, as the overall profit for the first nine months still crept above last year's level, landing at €7.15 billion.
Why the slump? It's all down to that delivery agreement being pushed to Q4. But there's a silver lining in sight: the adapted Omicron vaccine is delivering some solid numbers. Now, BioNTech expects the COVID-19 vaccine to bring in a total revenue of €16 to €17 billion for 2022, a jump from the initial prediction of €13 to €17 billion. They've already invoiced 300 million doses of the adapted vaccine, according to the company.
Stock-wise, BioNTech's share took a tiny rise after the quarterly results, following a bit of a morning dip.
BioNTech's Stock: Value Stock with Bright Future?
With a P/E ratio of 3.6, BioNTech's stock is a steal. But be warned, that big boom fueled by the mRNA vaccine against the dreaded coronavirus might've peaked for now. Still, this slick stock's far from done - it's got a strong future ahead.
However, don't expect that ultra-cheap P/E ratio to last forever. As profits decline, it's likely the P/E ratio will hike up too. This doesn't automatically mean the stock price will take a hit, but this sensational valuation won't last forever.
Currently, eight analysts at Bloomberg are shouting "Buy!", nine are holding tight, and none are suggesting to sell. The average price target? A cool €217, which means around a wicked 41% upside potential at momentary prices.
Last but not least, the BioNTech stock is a valuable addition to the BÖRSE ONLINE Reversal Index. This index highlight jobs that might get a comeback at the stock exchanges, and BioNTech is one of the positions.
