Simply Wall St · 2d ago

BioNTech (NasdaqGS:BNTX) has been drifting lower over the past month, and that slide is starting to draw value-oriented investors back to the name, especially with revenue stabilizing and net income ticking higher.

See our latest analysis for BioNTech.

Zooming out, BioNTech’s share price has been under steady pressure this year, with a year to date share price return of minus 16.5 percent and a one year total shareholder return of minus 20.9 percent. This suggests momentum is still fading despite hopes that the pipeline and cost discipline can eventually re rate the stock.

Yet with shares trading at a steep discount to analyst targets while revenue plateaus and net income improves, investors are asking whether BioNTech is quietly becoming undervalued or whether the market is already pricing in its next growth chapter.

Another Angle on Valuation

Analysts see upside, but BioNTech’s own price to sales tells a cooler story. At 6.3 times sales, shares are cheaper than the US biotech average of 12 times. They are still above a 5.8 times fair ratio, which hints the market could still mark expectations down.
