BioNTech SE (BNTX) stock surged 14.41% during Wednesday's trading session, leading the gains among European equities traded as American depositary receipts (ADRs) in the US market. The impressive rally of the German biotech firm came amid a broader upward trend in European ADRs.
The S&P Europe Select ADR Index climbed 1.85% to 1,377.63 in late morning trading, with BioNTech emerging as the top gainer among continental European companies. The stock's significant jump outpaced other strong performers in the sector, including trivago (TRVG), which advanced 11%, and Evaxion Biotech (EVAX), which rose 10%.
While no specific news directly tied to BioNTech was reported, the overall positive sentiment in the biotech sector and European ADRs likely contributed to the stock's impressive performance. Investors may be showing renewed interest in BioNTech, known for its COVID-19 vaccine developed in partnership with Pfizer, as the company continues to work on other mRNA-based therapies and vaccines. The substantial price movement suggests possible anticipation of positive developments or growing confidence in the company's future prospects.
