Why Moderna Stock Jumped 6% Today

Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) jumped 6.3% higher as of the market close on Tuesday. The solid gain came after the company announced that the European Commission (EC) has agreed to buy an additional 150 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine, bringing the total number of doses ordered by the EC to 460 million.

Moderna announced an even bigger purchase last week with the U.S. government signing an agreement to buy 200 million additional doses of the company's COVID-19 vaccine. However, investors didn't respond enthusiastically to that deal, with the biotech stock slipping a little. So why did Moderna's shares take off on today's news?
