Executive Commentary
Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of MRNA, while commenting on the results said that the company is humbled to have hundreds of millions of people around the world with its COVID 19 vaccine. Yet the company knows that its work is not done and the company would not rest until its vaccine is available to everyone who needs it. The company is more energized than ever by the impact its platform will have on human health.
Future Outlook for MRNA
During the last three months, MRNA stock has declined more than 30%. The decline could be associated with the uncertainty related to the clinical trials being carried out recently. Analysts believe that just like the impact the COVID shot had on the stock, the upcoming results of other clinical trials would also impart the influence on the stock in the upcoming months.
