Moderna: is it still the leader in COVID-19 fight?

2020-05-26 • Updated

While biotech companies are struggling to find the vaccine, investors make bets who’ll win this race.

Moderna has performed really well and skyrocketed close to 250% higher this year so far. If you had invested in it at the right time, you would have doubled or, in the best case, even tripled your account. Does it still have the potential to the upside? Opinions are divided.

On the one hand, Moderna revealed positive phase-1 results for a COVID-19 vaccine on May 18, what made it one of the most promising candidates in this race. The stock price reached its peak at $86 that day.

On the other hand, vaccine experts raised doubts about the potential effectiveness of the Moderna’s vaccine as the company revealed too little information. That pushed the stock price down to $70. Moreover, so many competitors have appeared, more than 100 already.  The main competitor is Pfizer as it uses the same technology as Moderna.

Now everybody’s waiting for the phase-2 results. Follow the news as it can cause price movements. These days the price trades near $70. The retracement line is 73.5. Support levels are 62 and 48.
