MRNA Earnings: Moderna Stock Slumps 10% on Lower Covid Vaccine Demand

Shares in drug giant Moderna (MRNA) plummeted nearly 10% today after it reported a drop in Q2 sales. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The company reported earnings for the period of -$2.13, beating expectations of -$3.03 but also recorded a 41.1% drop in year-over-year sales to $142 million. However, that still beat forecasts of $128.3 million. Sentiment Hit Investor sentiment was also hit by the company dropping its revenue guidance for the full year to $1.85 billion at the midpoint from $2 billion, a 7.5% decrease. It blamed the 'timing of shipments.' The decline was primarily driven by lower Spikevax COVID vaccine sales, which totaled $114 million in the quarter. Moderna said demand is expected to be concentrated in the second half of the year, aligning with the fall and winter seasons as the vaccine continues to transition into a seasonal respiratory product. It also reported 'negligible' RSV vaccine mRESVIA® sales in the second quarter of 2025. The figures continue Moderna's difficult year in comparison with its peers – see below. 'In the last three months, we advanced our pipeline with positive Phase 3 flu vaccine efficacy data and expanded our commercial portfolio with three new U.S. FDA approvals to drive future sales growth,' said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. 'Looking forward, we have important catalysts over the next six months across our infectious disease and oncology programs that will help us deliver on the promise of our mRNA platform for patients.' Future Hopes This includes Intismeran autogene, a personalized cancer therapy which is being developed in collaboration with Merck (MRK). This includes two non-small cell lung cancer Phase 3 studies and Phase 2 studies for high-risk muscle invasive and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Cost of sales for 2025 is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion. Full-year 2025 research and development expenses are anticipated to be $3.6 to $3.8 billion, lowered from previous expectations of approximately $4.1 billion. Year-end cash and investments for 2025 are projected to be approximately $6 billion. Recently, Moderna announced an organizational restructuring that will reduce its global workforce by approximately 10%. The company anticipates a total headcount of less than 5,000 by the end of the year. Better news came today for the group after Pfizer (PFE) and its German partner BioNTech (BNTX) lost their bid to overturn a ruling that their COVID-19 vaccine infringed one of Moderna's patents at London's Court of Appeal.

LINEAGE INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Lineage, Inc. and Announces Opportunity for Investors with Substantial Losses to Lead the Lineage Class Action Lawsuit

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock in or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with Lineage's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'), have until September 30, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. Captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc., No. 25-cv-12383 (E.D. Mich.), the Lineage class action lawsuit charges Lineage and certain of its top executives, directors, IPO underwriters, and IPO sponsor with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lineage is a Maryland REIT focused on temperature-controlled cold-storage facilities. In the July 2024 IPO, Lineage sold over 65 million shares of Lineage common stock to investors at $78 per share, raising more than $5 billion in gross offering proceeds. The Lineage class action lawsuit alleges that the registration statement was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, Lineage's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lineage's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (ii) Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing Lineage; (iii) Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed above through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (iv) as a result, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the registration statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (v) consequently, Lineage's financial results, business operations, and prospects were materially impaired. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen to lows near $40 per share. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of the filing of the complaint. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lineage common stock in or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with Lineage's IPO to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lineage class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lineage class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lineage class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. ABOUT ROBBINS GELLER: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP is one of the world's leading law firms representing investors in securities fraud and shareholder litigation. Our Firm has been ranked #1 in the ISS Securities Class Action Services rankings for four out of the last five years for securing the most monetary relief for investors.
