Moderna (MRNA-Q) has shown significant recovery and momentum in recent months, with a notable 72% increase in Q1 and a nearly 50% rise in January, making it one of the best performers on the S&P. The company has addressed some legal challenges that were previously weighing on its stock and gained FDA approval for its new flu vaccine. Despite potential concerns about the vaccine industry's future, Moderna is optimistic about returning to revenue growth by 2026 and has aspirations in the personalized cancer vaccine space. However, experts caution that the biotech market can be highly volatile and uncertain, and there are questions about Moderna's ability to leverage its technology in adjacent markets. The overall sentiment is mixed, reflecting excitement for future growth against the backdrop of inherent industry risks.

Premium contentIn past years, biotech was the safe trade, but this year risk is back, so these stocks have fallen out of favour. Also, there are so many drugs in trials now and big pharma needs new product. She's looking at Gilead and Moderna, because they have low PEs and alot of drugs in development. However, the overall sector is risky.
Premium contentThe stock price has been impacted by news of reduced sales of its COVID19 vaccine. This is to be expected as governments draw down their previously purchased inventory and uptake slows with re-opening. COVID is not going away anytime soon with booster shots expected in the fall. Recently reported earnings beat expectation, showing a gain when analysts expected a loss. The company is also working on a RSV vaccine. It trades at 7x earnings and supports a ROE of 50%. We recommend placing a stop loss at $100, looking to achieve $199 -- upside potential of 45%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $198.77)

Covid vaccine was its first commercial product, and it did well. That's trailing off. Investing in drug pipeline, and it's hard to determine when products might be approved and launched. Her preference is a more established company with a pipeline.
