In order to impress the stock market on Tuesday, Moderna hoped to spend the day doing so. In the morning trading session, however, the shares of MRNA have fallen more than 5% since the start of this day.
There is a "Vaccines Day" to be held by a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotech company, where investors and analysts can hear presentations about the company's products and services.
In a statement prior to the event beginning, Moderna announced that it anticipated the launch of six major vaccine products within the next few years. This has been announced as part of the expansion of the company's pipeline of mRNA-based vaccine candidates to include those targeting viruses, including norovirus, and bacteria, such as Lyme disease, which would be the company's first vaccine targeting bacteria.
Nevertheless, Moderna said that it would be unable to guarantee early success in a Phase 3 trial for its first influenza vaccine candidate if it failed to meet the conditions.
It appears as though investors were unimpressed by the results, as the stock dropped as low as $152.25 before market close. There was a spike in Moderna's stock price in mid-2021 when the company reached more than $480 and the company also benefited from an influx of money into the biotech industry that coincided with the rush to vaccinate against Coronavirus.
