Moderna (MRNA-Q) has recently garnered significant attention on the stock market, experiencing a remarkable surge in share prices following notable medical advancements, particularly in oncology. As of now, the stock is trading around $140.13, reflecting an impressive increase of over 154% from the start of the month. Despite being one of the top performers in various months, experts highlight that the company is still operating at a loss, with profitability not anticipated until 2029. Investor excitement is further fueled by ongoing clinical trials for innovative drugs, including personalized anti-cancer vaccines. However, some experts suggest that while the stock has performed well, potential investors should consider waiting for a pullback before entering the market.

PFE
WAIT

They have special technology; this morning they announced a collaboration with AI. Shares have been declining and there are sellers everywhere. You have to wait until they invent the special vaccines en masse they promised.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Believes in the CEO and their technology. Buy below $100.

DON'T BUY

Down 44% in 2023. They made the first Covid vaccine and made a ton of sales, but they suffer losses now. It didn't pull off a cancer vaccine as some hoped for. But it's up 9% in the past week. Maybe there's hope.

DON'T BUY

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.

RISKY
JNJ question

A good mix of consumer goods and healthcare, but the PE is extended. Prefers to buy Pfizer for its growth and lower PE. He might even roll the dice with Moderna. Or buy the IBB, biotech ETF.

Down 26% in the last 23 months. It's suffering a post-Covid hangover and the company is better than this.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 04/23, Down 9.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MRNA is stagnating.  To be disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $100) to $110 at this time.  

PARTIAL BUY

Is down 22% in the last 3 months. But he would but it. They're out of fashion, sure, and it's considered a Covid name, but their science is very good. A personalized cancer vaccine is possible.

BUY

They have developed a vaccine template that will benefit them going forward. Do not sell, but add more.

WATCH

In 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. 

COMMENT

They're holding an investor event on Monday. They delivered an early Covid vaccine, but shares have fallen since then. A smart CEO. They're working on a personalized cancer medication. 

COMMENT

The risk/return is elevated so be careful.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The 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)
BUY

Hold it and put it away. It is event-driven. Their cancer vaccine data is coming, for instance, and will do well. This is a long-term buy.
