Why Moderna Stock Crashed Today
Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) plunged 18% on Thursday after the biotech's third-quarter financial results fell short of investors' expectations.
Moderna's revenue rocketed more than 30-fold to $5 billion, fueled by sales of its COVID-19 vaccine. The drugmaker's net income, in turn, soared to $3.3 billion, or $7.70 per share, compared to a net loss of $233 million, or $0.59 per share, in the prior-year quarter.
However, Wall Street was expecting even more. Consensus estimates had called for revenue and earnings per share of $6.2 billion and $9.05, respectively.
