This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

Pfizer, PFE
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.

Our PAST TOP PICK with MRNA has triggered its stop at $110.  To remain disciplined we recommend covering the position at this time.

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.

PARTIAL BUY

Likes it long term. They will reveal data on a personalized cancer vaccine coming up. But short term it's volatile, anybody's guess.

RISKY
They just had a breakthrough with a cancer drug they had long been developing. With that, Moderna doesn't need the potential Covid-vaccine business with China (if that happens there). After a 40-point rally, it is a little speculative.
