On the news front, UBS raised its price target on Moderna from $45 to $50 while maintaining a neutral rating, and Bank of America Global Research simultaneously raised its target from $38 to $40. The synchronized upgrades from two major institutions sent a positive signal, serving as a short-term catalyst.
Additionally, the company's fifth product, Mflusiva, is approaching a critical FDA PDUFA review date on August 5, fueling market expectations for approval.
