On June 16, Moderna rose 5.81% in regular trading, trading at $55.1/share, with turnover of $177 million. The rally was driven by the company announcing a series of organizational changes aimed at preparing for multiple new product launches in the coming years.
Specifically, Moderna expects to bring up to three new vaccines to market within the next two years, including a combination flu and COVID vaccine, a standalone seasonal influenza vaccine, and a norovirus vaccine. To support this commercialization push, the company appointed Ester Banque as Chief Commercial Officer, effective June 15, with full responsibility for global commercial strategy, market access, and sales operations.
The move comes amid broader momentum for Moderna, which has seen its stock rise 43% year-to-date as investors focus on pipeline progress. Recent developments include regulatory submissions for its flu vaccine in the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada, as well as UK MHRA authorization to begin a Phase 1/2 study of mRNA-4194, a cancer prevention vaccine for lynch syndrome developed in collaboration with Oxford University.
