Moderna faces hurdles in its mRNA drug pursuits as the FDA delays approval of its RSV vaccine, causing a dip in the company's stock. However, the company's financials remain solid with costs saving measures and better-than-expected profit from COVID vaccine sales. The COVID vaccine is being considered as potentially personalized cancer cures, and Moderna continues its efforts to launch its next potential mRNA vaccine.
However, it faces competition from Pfizer and GSK in the RSV vaccine market. Moderna also faces legal disputes over mRNA patent rights. Its COVID vaccine sales plunged by 91%, but that didn't prevent Moderna stock from gaining due to a surprise quarterly profit. The company has been testing the capability of its mRNA technology to treat cancer. Moderna also navigates issues with its production, including halting plans for a manufacturing plant in Kenya and reducing mRNA drug substance production at a Lonza facility. Despite these challenges, significant data from its next-gen COVID jab study and successful melanoma vaccine trial results offer promising outlooks for the company.
