Moderna

Develops mRNA-based medicines for health

Overview

Moderna develops medicines built on messenger RNA (mRNA). Its products use mRNA delivered into cells to instruct them to produce specific proteins that can prevent or treat disease, with vaccines being a primary example. In practice, a dose delivers engineered mRNA into the body, cells translate it into a target protein, and the immune system responds or the protein modulates biology to combat disease. Moderna differentiates itself through its focus on building a whole mRNA medicines platform and in-house capabilities for designing, manufacturing, and scaling mRNA therapies, including rapid development and large-scale production. Its goal is to create a new category of medicines based on mRNA that can improve how diseases are discovered, developed, and treated, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • mFLUSIVA won FDA approval on August 5, 2026, opening the first mRNA flu market.
  • Q3 2026 revenue rose 29% to $1.31 billion, with $162 million net income.
  • Cash and investments should end 2026 at $8.1 billion to $8.3 billion after financing.

What critics are saying

  • Norovirus failed early-success criteria in 2026, killing a near-term vaccine launch opportunity.
  • The $950 million Arbutus settlement hit 2026 cash, while a $1.3 billion appeal overhang remains.
  • If intismeran misses regulatory approval in 2027, Moderna reverts to a respiratory-vaccine-dependent cash burner.

What makes Moderna unique

  • Moderna is the only mRNA pure-play with five approved products as of November 2026.
  • The Merck partnership delivered intismeran’s 42% recurrence-or-death reduction in melanoma on October 2026.
  • UK, Canada, and Australia government deals monetize respiratory vaccines beyond U.S. seasonal demand.

Moderna to relocate its UK HQ to London's Tribeca.

Moderna to relocate its UK HQ to London's Tribeca. US biotech Moderna has firmed up its commitment to the UK by taking a lease on a new headquarters at the Tribeca campus, right at the heart of the King's Cross Knowledge Quarter (KQ) in London. The mRNA medicine specialist has taken a lease on a 4,206 sq ft unit in The Reflector building, which should be ready for occupancy by the end of April. The company's current HQ is located at 123 Victoria Street in London. Anchored by the London BioScience Innovation Centre (LBIC) and the Francis Crick Institute, Tribeca - London's first purpose-built life sciences campus with five main buildings - has attracted a cluster of other biopharma groups, including Flagship Pioneering, AI-powered vaccine developer Baseimmune, and gene-silencing therapeutics developer Laverock Therapeutics. "The UK is a key market for Moderna and expanding our footprint with space at Tribeca marks another step in our long-term commitment to the country's vibrant life sciences ecosystem," said Darius Hughes, UK general manager at Moderna. "With Tribeca positioned at the heart of London's Knowledge Quarter, it puts us in close proximity to many of the country's leading scientific and research institutions, making it a great environment for our continued growth and the further development of our mRNA platform." Tribeca is becoming a focal point for the KQ, which extends for around three square miles and has one of the highest densities of scientific and academic organisations in the world. It is also a hub for AI-powered drug discovery in the UK, with companies like Novo, GSK, and Boehringer Ingelheim setting up units to tap into local expertise like Google DeepMind and the Alan Turing Institute. Moderna has a close connection with the UK, built around a 10-year, £1 billion strategic partnership with the UK government and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to build domestic mRNA manufacturing resilience, boost research, and prepare for future pandemics. Last year, the company opened the £150 million Moderna Innovation and Technology Centre (MITC) at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, which has the potential to produce up to 250 million doses of mRNA vaccines per year if there is a pandemic and is also a hub for Moderna's R&D operations in the UK. News of the HQ relocation came shortly after Moderna reported a big rise in third-quarter revenues to $1.3 billion, primarily driven by higher COVID vaccine sales in international markets. The company has also recently secured its first regulatory approvals for seasonal flu vaccine mFlusiva and a combination flu/covid shot, mCombriax, and is in late-stage clinical testing for a melanoma vaccine partnered with MSD. 9 November, 2026

Moderna returns to profit with $200M in Q3, lifts 2026 revenue growth guidance to 15-25%

Moderna reported third-quarter 2026 revenue growth of 29% and a return to profitability, with $200 million in net income. Management credited higher mNEXSPIKE adoption in the US and partnerships in the UK and Canada. Cash costs fell 10% from a year earlier. The company raised its full-year revenue growth guidance to 15% to 25%, from up to 10%. It plans to submit a Biologics License Application for Intismeran in melanoma by the end of 2026, aiming for approval in 2027. A Phase 3 trial showed a 42% reduction in risk of recurrence or death versus KEYTRUDA alone. Moderna raised $3 billion through a 0% convertible note to fund oncology growth. It paused enrollment in its norovirus vaccine programme after an interim analysis missed statistical criteria for early success.

Moderna shares jump 8% as Q3 revenue rises 29% to $1.31B and 2026 outlook is raised

Moderna shares jumped 8% after the company beat third-quarter estimates and raised its 2026 revenue growth outlook to 15%-25%. Revenue rose 29% to $1.31 billion, against analyst expectations of $885 million. Of that, $533 million came from outside the US, mostly Covid vaccine sales under long-term government deals with the UK, Canada, and Australia. Chief executive officer Stéphane Bancel told CNBC: "The new product and the diversification of geography is what has led to such a strong Q3." Rivals fared worse. Pfizer's Comirnaty sales fell 29% operationally, and BioNTech's revenue fell 15% to €1.29 billion. Moderna still trades near its five-year high on forward sales, driven by hopes for its cancer vaccine intismeran, developed with Merck.

Today's top movers: tech rebounds as weak outlooks trigger mass selloffs.

Today's top movers: tech rebounds as weak outlooks trigger mass selloffs. Market volatility peaked this morning as investors bought the dip. Tech giants and companies with upgraded 2026 outlooks like Moderna and Airbnb successfully reattracted investor capital. On the other hand, missed Wall Street targets and full-year guidance cuts dragged down the stocks of DraftKings, Axon, and Globus Medical. Published on 11/06/2026 at 11:21 am EST MarketScreener.com AMD (+8.40%): Traders chose to "buy the dip" on the stock today after a massive selloff in the tech sector yesterday. This was part of a broader upswing in the technology sector, with Micron Technology and Nvidia also surging 6.93% and 5.6%. The company posted robust Q3 earnings on Tuesday, as revenue rose to $13.38bn, up 44.5% from $9.25bn a year earlier, and surpassing analysts' target of $13.10bn. Airbnb (+8.5%): Shares jumped after the company reported a stronger-than-expected increase in Q3 earnings and revenue. The online service beat third quarter earnings per share of $3.16 vs analysts' consensus of $2.85, with revenue growth at its fastest pace in over three years. The firm unveiled a $12bn share buyback, and lifted its 2026 outlook. Moderna (+9.1%): The biotechnology company raised its 2026 revenue growth forecast. Moderna now expects total revenue growth of 15%-25% for the year, up from a previous outlook for up to 10% growth. Its Q3 earnings topped Wall Street's estimates with total revenue jumping 29% to $1.31bn year over year. Analysts expected $890.3m. The company attributed the gain to increasing Covid-19 vaccine sales in international markets. DraftKings (-28.3%): The entertainment company plunged this morning, as it reported a Q3 adjusted loss of $0.53 per diluted share, widening from the loss of $0.26 a year earlier. The extended loss disappointed analysts, who expected $0.13. Revenue growth also missed Wall Street forecasts. Revenue in the three months ended Sept. 30 rose to $1.33bn from $1.14bn a year earlier, when analysts projected $1.39bn. The firm also cut its full-year revenue guidance to $6.35bn-$6.55bn from the previous outlook of $6.5-bn-$6.9bn. Axon Enterprise (-18,2%): The Taser brand lowered its annual revenue growth forecast to $3.61bn-$3.63bn, a reduction from prior guidance of approximately 32%-34%. The company missed analysts estimates of $3.71bn. It cited an "exclusion of three Federal Dedrone deployments totaling about $130 million" to justify the cut. Globus Medical (-12,5%): The shares of the global musculoskeletal firm fell this morning as its Q3 revenue dropped, from $769m a year ago to $763.7m currently. It also trimmed its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $3.09bn, compared with previous guidance of $3.18bn-$3.22bn. (C) MarketScreener.com - 2026
