Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Trading at only 5x earnings, this is one of the least expensive stocks in the S&P500. The company is looking to expand its COVID vaccine in Europe and the US for children under 6 years. Recently reported earnings smashed analyst expectations by over 65% and is generating a ROE over 120%. The company has been prudently using a small portion of cash reserves to help aggressively buy back shares and retire debt. We recommend a stop loss at $120, looking to achieve $228 -- upside potential over 42%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $228.00)

Shares are plunging today. They sold over $18 billion of vaccines for 2022. All vaccine stocks have fallen for the same reason: Covid is ending. He's short calls and long puts for Moderna (has been so for many months). Post-vaccine world, he thinks this will be the most-valuable healthcare company, because they have a platform that's grown from 21 therapeutics and vaccines to over 40 in the span of a year. The future is extremely bright. But biotech stocks are event-driven. So, no events, then shorting happens and sellers get impatient.

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)
