Moderna (MRNA-Q) has shown a significant turnaround in performance, with a remarkable increase of 72% in Q1, bolstered by the resolution of some lawsuits that had previously weighed on the company. The FDA approval of its new flu vaccine is another positive development, especially with impending changes in regulatory leadership that may favor its future endeavors. However, while the stock saw a nearly 50% rally last month, there are concerns about its long-term profitability and reliance on returning to revenue growth by 2026. The biotech market's binary nature adds uncertainty, leading some experts to question whether Moderna can effectively leverage its technology in adjacent markets. Overall, the sentiment around Moderna is mixed, with potential for growth but also significant risks involved.
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.
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.
