Company Report

GSK, Pfizer, and Moderna: New RSV Vaccine Guidance Shrinks, but Long-Term Potential Remains

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refined its RSV vaccine recommendations to adults aged 75 and older as well as those 60 to 74 years old at higher risk for RSV disease, which is a smaller group than the initial guidance for adults aged 60 and older. However, we don’t expect a major impact on the long-term potential for the RSV vaccines from GSK, Pfizer, and Moderna. We are maintaining our fair value estimates and moat ratings for the firms.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The stellar efficacy and safety profile of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine offered rapid validation of the firm's mRNA technology.

Bears

Moderna's Alexion partnership was terminated in 2017 after failure to find a safe but effective dose for the lead program, which could foreshadow difficulty finding a therapeutic window beyond low-dose vaccine programs.
