The Hamburg-based biotech company Evotec has shown remarkable resilience in the stock market following a dramatic price drop triggered by Halozyme Therapeutics‘ withdrawal of its non-binding takeover offer. Initially falling to €7.98 after the US company retracted its €11.00 per share bid, Evotec’s stock demonstrated strong recovery momentum, climbing 4.6% to €8.90 in XETRA trading and leading gains in the SDAX index. The withdrawal came after apparent communication difficulties between the companies, with contrasting narratives emerging about the level of engagement in constructive discussions.
Market Outlook and Performance
Analysts maintain a cautiously optimistic stance on Evotec’s future prospects, setting an average price target of €9.68. While the company’s third-quarter 2024 results showed a modest 5.80% revenue decline to €184.89 million compared to the previous year, the stock has made significant progress from its yearly low of €5.06. However, current trading levels remain notably below the 52-week high of €21.69, suggesting potential room for upward movement, particularly as the biotech sector could benefit from anticipated interest rate reductions.
