Why Is Everyone Talking About Moderna Stock?
A year ago, you might not have heard of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA). The clinical-stage biotech company's messenger RNA (mRNA) drug candidates were in preclinical or early human trials for indications including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viruses such as Zika. The stock was trading at about $19 per share, and market value stood at $6 billion.
But Moderna spent most of 2020 making headlines. That's because this biotech company got in on the coronavirus vaccine race early. So early, in fact, that it became the first to launch a vaccine candidate in human trials. That was back in March. It's clear that everyone is talking about Moderna now. So let's take a closer look at what's next for this biotech company.
