Will BioNTech ๐๐๐ again with the Concerning Covid-Omicron Outbreak ๐๐ฆ $BioNTech SE(BNTX)$
BACKGROUND:
(1) On 26 November 2021, WHO designated the variant B.1.1.529 (named Omicron) a variant of concern as it has an abundance of mutations-including 26 that are unique to the variant & more than 30 on the spike protein, which is the viral protein that vaccines train the immune system to recognize & attack.
(2) The Omicron variant spreads more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus & the Delta variant. In the first months of 2022, an Omicron sub-variant called BA.2 began to spread even faster than other Omicron variants. BA.4 & BA.5 are thought to be even more transmissible. Experts are saying that the Omicron BA.4 & BA.5 sub-variants seem to have the ability to elude some of the antibodies produced after vaccinations and infections, including those caused by some Omicron sub-variants.
(3) In late June, a committee of experts recommended the FDA update booster shots to target BA.5 and BA.4 subvariants of Omicron, with a plan to make such boosters available later in the year.
QN: How will the above background information help me in my investing?
ANS: The background information implies that the existing vaccines that people have been injected are not as effective & new booster shots would be required โก๏ธ This in turn means that companies with the Omicron vaccine booster will benefit from increased sales โก๏ธ Which means investors will have renewed interest in vaccine stocks & be willing to pay more to obtain the shares โก๏ธ Therefore, pushing up the stock price.
COMPANY PROFILE: With decades of deep immunology expertise and experience in developing & optimizing mRNA as part of its broad suite of novel technologies, BioNTech is working with the global community to defeat life-threatening and serious diseases such as cancer, COVID-19, malaria and tuberculosis. The first ever approved mRNA vaccine was created in the labs of BioNTech in Mainz, Germany.

(6) After reaching the peak price of USD 464 in August 2021, it has bottom twice at about USD 110-120+ in March & June 2022, & mostly peaks at about USD 150-170+ โก๏ธ Investors seem to have lost interest & a >USD 300 peak seems less likely?

What are your thoughts my ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ friends?
(1) For a relatively stable stock with dividend yield as a side income, & a proven track record to be able to withstand a recession, I will choose Pfizer $Pfizer(PFE)$However, if one is looking for faster capital gains (*with more risks as well of course), then BioNTech will be a good choice?
(2) A safe price to buy BioNTech will be at USD 125 & a good price to sell at will be USD 165?
