Technical Analysis 
Aug 26, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.
Moderna, Inc. has had a remarkable trading week, with shares skyrocketing to around $140.13, marking a 154% increase since the start of the month. This surge is attributed to a significant medical breakthrough and increased social media attention, which has spiked by 349% in just 24 hours. The company is currently the only non-tech stock in the top 15 of the S&P and has shown a year-to-date gain of 146%. Although Moderna is advancing in oncology and personalized anti-cancer vaccines, it continues to face challenges as it remains unprofitable, with earnings per share unlikely to turn positive until 2029. Experts advise caution, suggesting investors consider waiting for a pullback before entering positions, given the volatility and potential risks associated with biotech investments.

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)
