There is (for now) an approximately zero percent chance that Biontech can be bought by either a US or Chinese company.

- mancerayder 6y agoBNTX's market cap is pretty large already, it's unclear how desirable a buyout would be by a Pfizer-type company. It seems better to split profits / contracts.
- bluGill 6y agoFor now: Pfizer has already got what they want: a license to produce a useful vaccine. Conversely BioNTech also got what they need: someone able to run a large trail and scale up manufacturing while giving them some profit. In a few years both companies will re-evaluate their relationship. Partnerships can last for years at times. Other times one company is bought. Other times they go their own ways. All are normal and mean nothing, though if you are an investor each has different implications.
