Why Moderna Stock Is Slipping Today
Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) were sliding 5.1% lower as of 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday. The decline appears to be the result of some profit-taking after Moderna's shares jumped on Monday after the company's CEO, Stéphane Bancel, said during an interview on CNBC that Moderna will soon begin clinical trials for a version of its COVID-19 vaccine that specifically targets the coronavirus omicron variant.
It's really not all that surprising that Moderna's bounce didn't last long. There's a good argument to be made that the vaccine stock rose more than was warranted on Monday.
