(MRNA) closed 12% higher on Friday, clocking its best day in over two months, after the company confirmed it has been pursuing early-stage research into mRNA-based vaccines against hantaviruses.Moderna’s ongoing hantavirus efforts, reported by Bloomberg, coincide with heightened public attention on a rare outbreak linked to the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius. According to the World Health Organization’s Disease Outbreak News report issued earlier this week, seven cases — two laboratory-confirmed hantavirus infections and five suspected — have been identified among passengers and crew.Three people have died, one remains critically ill, and others have reported fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and rapid progression to pneumonia.

Public-health officials, including the WHO, have described the broader risk to the general population as low, noting that hantaviruses are primarily rodent-borne and human-to-human transmission is uncommon.Moderna’s vaccine sales have undergone a dramatic post-pandemic decline. The company generated a record $19.26 billion in total revenue in 2022, almost entirely from its COVID-19 vaccine Spikevax. Sales then collapsed more than 64% to $6.85 billion in 2023 and fell another 53% to $3.24 billion in 2024 as global demand normalized and advance-purchase agreements ended.

The plans come on the heels of several complaints from the pharmaceutical industry and sparring with others in the health department over policy, the report added.However, the president’s plans are not final and could change, the report said. WSJ noted that Makary, if fired, would become the latest top lieutenant to be fired under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., following the departures of CDC Director Susan Monarez last summer and HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill in February.Makary, a former Johns Hopkins surgeon, joined the FDA in November 2024.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Companies Likely To Benefit from Makary’s Exit</h2>Several biotech and pharmaceutical firms that have publicly clashed with the Makary-led FDA over what they describe as inconsistent, unpredictable, or overly restrictive drug-review processes are viewed as potential beneficiaries of new leadership that could accelerate approvals and restore clearer regulatory guidance.Replimune Group Inc. (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/REPL">REPL</a>): The FDA rejected the company’s lead melanoma therapy RP1 in a high-profile decision that drew intense industry backlash. Replimune argued the agency treated it unfairly and failed to honor prior commitments made during review meetings; the case became a flashpoint in broader criticism of Makary’s tenure.uniQure N.V. (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QURE">QURE</a>): The agency issued a sudden “key shift” in feedback on the company’s Huntington’s disease gene therapy AMT-130, reversing earlier assurances about the sufficiency of its Phase 1/2 data. The FDA strongly recommended a new, randomized, double-blind, sham-surgery-controlled trial.Moderna Inc. (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MRNA">MRNA</a>): CEO Stéphane Bancel publicly stated that the FDA under Makary had become “unpredictable” in a way that “threatens U.S. leadership in innovative medicines.” The company experienced surprise setbacks, including an initial refusal to accept a flu vaccine application that was later reversed.Regenxbio Inc. (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RGNX">RGNX</a>): The FDA declined to approve the company’s gene therapy for the ultra-rare Hunter syndrome (MPS II) in February 2026, despite prior engagement. Industry observers cited this as part of a pattern of moving goalposts that has frustrated rare-disease developers.Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SRPT">SRPT</a>): Sarepta faced repeated conflicts over its Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene therapy Elevidys, including safety and efficacy disputes under Makary’s oversight and the influence of former FDA official Vinay Prasad.Other biotech stocks likely to benefit from under new FDA leadership include Hims &amp; Hers Health (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/HIMS">HIMS</a>), which faced direct public criticism from Makary over its compounded GLP-1 weight-loss products, and rare-disease gene- and RNA-therapy developers such as Dyne Therapeutics (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DYN">DYN</a>), Avidity Biosciences (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RNA">RNA</a>), and Lexeo Therapeutics (<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/LXEO">LXEO</a>), all of which have cited inconsistent feedback and delays during Makary’s tenure.Shares of REPL jumped 17% at the time of writing, while QURE rose 15%. MRNA traded 10% higher, while SRPT stock traded 3% lower, and RGNX shares stayed flat.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Retail Traders React?</h2>A Stocktwits user voiced optimism for eventual approval of Replimune’s RP-1 drug, calling the decision to deny it approval a “terrible one.”<stembedurl>https://www.stocktwits.com/History101/message/652782029</stembedurl>Another voiced optimism for “someone better” replacing Makary.<stembedurl>https://www.stocktwits.com/blueb22/message/652773597</stembedurl>While REPL shares fell by about 50% over the past 12 months, QURE rose 124%.&nbsp;Read More: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/lucid-uber-partnership-accelerates-after-nuro-lands-key-california-permit-for-gravity-robotaxis/cZX2AwwReg1">LCID-UBER Partnership Accelerates After Nuro Lands Key California Permit for Gravity Robotaxis</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Trump said that the administration will release a full report on a Hantavirus on Friday.</li><li>The outbreak aboard the Dutch-flagged cruise ship Hondius has resulted in three deaths, six confirmed infections and additional suspected cases.</li><li>Moderna drew attention due to its hantavirus vaccine partnership with Korea University.</li></ul>Shares of vaccine makers and biodefense companies rallied overnight on&nbsp;Friday&nbsp;after U.S. President Donald Trump addressed a deadly hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship and promised a full update on the situation.Overnight,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EBS">Emergent BioSolutions (EBS)</a> climbed 3%, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INO">Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO)</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVAX">Novavax (NVAX)</a> each gained 2% and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MRNA">Moderna (MRNA)</a> rose 1%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Trump Promises Full Hantavirus Report</h2>Trump said late Thursday that the administration was closely studying the outbreak from the Dutch-flagged cruise ship Hondius, where three passengers have died and several others became infected. “It’s very much, we hope, under control,” Trump said, adding that a full report will be released on Friday.The outbreak has triggered six confirmed infections and additional suspected cases aboard the vessel, which had 150 passengers onboard during an Atlantic voyage from Argentina toward Europe. Authorities are still investigating how the virus spread on board.Singapore has already isolated two passengers from the ship due to concerns about possible exposure during the trip. The World Health Organization (WHO) also issued an alert on the outbreak, although officials said that the global risk remains low and that hantavirus is less transmissible than COVID-19 or influenza. The virus involved is said to be the Andes strain, one of the few hantavirus variants associated with limited human-to-human transmission.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Moderna Hantavirus Program Back In Focus</h2>Moderna is viewed as one of the U.S. government’s key vaccine platforms for outbreaks. Since 2023, the company has worked with Korea University’s Vaccine Innovation Center on an mRNA-based hantavirus vaccine candidate, with preclinical studies earlier this year showing protection against hantavirus infection in mice.In 2024, Moderna received a $176 million award backed by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) in 2024 for the development of mRNA-based pandemic influenza vaccines and outbreak preparedness programs. Moderna’s partnership with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is also in focus, which previously said mRNA could help shorten vaccine-development timelines to as little as 100 days during outbreaks.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Inovio: Direct Hantavirus Play</h2>Inovio, meanwhile, has the clearest hantavirus link among the stocks rallying overnight. The company previously participated in several hantavirus DNA vaccine studies targeting Hantaan, Puumala and Andes hantavirus strains. One National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases-backed study evaluated an Andes virus DNA vaccine to prevent hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, while another U.S. Army-supported study examined mixed hantavirus DNA vaccines.While none of Inovio’s hantavirus vaccine programs produced a commercial product, the outbreak revived speculative interest in companies with prior hantavirus research.<h2 class="st-heading-2">NVAX, EBS In Outbreak Spotlight</h2>Investors frequently rotate into Novavax during virus headlines due to the company’s vaccine-development platform and history of rapidly developing candidates for pathogens such as Ebola, MERS and Zika. The company’s protein-based nanoparticle platform and Matrix-M adjuvant tech can generate vaccine candidates against emerging infectious diseases, already used in marketed COVID-19 and malaria vaccines.&nbsp;Emergent BioSolutions, on the other hand, is often viewed as one of the U.S. government’s primary biodefense and medical-countermeasure contractors during public-health emergencies. The company has existing relationships with BARDA and makes products based on Anthrax, Ebola, smallpox, mpox and viral hemorrhagic fevers. Emergent previously received BARDA task orders for viral hemorrhagic fever therapeutics and has also participated in manufacturing efforts during outbreaks, including Ebola and Zika.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About INO, MRNA, NVAX, EBS?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for INO and NVAX was ‘extremely bullish’ amid ‘extremely high’ message volume, while MRNA saw ‘bullish’ sentiment with ‘high’ message volume. EBS also recorded ‘extremely bullish’ sentiment, though message volume remained ‘normal.’&nbsp;Over the past year, MRNA has surged 102%, followed by EBS up 93% and NVAX higher by 55%, while INO has declined 22%.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sls-stock-deutsche-bank-stake-boost-ahead-of-earnings/cZX2EhiReXG">SLS Stock Heads For Weekly Win: Deutsche Bank’s Stake Boost Draws Attention Ahead Of Q1 Earnings&nbsp;</a>

Biotech’s Next Wave May Already be in Motion

The biotech and pharma sector is entering one of its most pivotal periods in years, where insider conviction, late-stage clinical wins, and platform technologies are converging to reshape both valuations and patient outcomes. From aggressive insider buying ahead of critical data to blockbuster Phase 3 readouts redefining entire therapeutic categories, the market is signaling that the next cycle of winners may already be taking shape. $NTHI, $ERNA, $LLY, $NVO, $REGN, $MRNA

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Novavax posted Q1 revenue of $139.5 million, above analysts’ estimate of $78.3 million, helped by licensing agreements.</li><li>The drugmaker also said that patients who received Nuvaxovid were “twice as likely” to say they would choose the same vaccine again the following year.</li><li>The company maintained its 2026 adjusted revenue outlook of $230 million to $270 million.</li></ul>Shares of Novavax (NVAX) are headed for a breakout week as the vaccine maker reported solid first quarter (Q1) results and spotlighted data showing that patients were “twice as likely” to choose its COVID shot again over a rival vaccine from Moderna<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVAX">NVAX stock</a> jumped 16% on Wednesday to end at $9.36. Shares are eyeing their best week in about nine months.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Novavax Touts Lower Side Effects Vs Moderna</h2>Novavax reported Q1 revenue of $139.5 million, beating analysts’ estimate of $78.3 million. The results were boosted by upfront and milestone payments from licensing and vaccine supply partnerships as the company shifts away from relying primarily on direct COVID vaccine sales.The rally also came as investors focused on fresh data comparing Novavax’s protein-based COVID vaccine, Nuvaxovid, against Moderna’s mNEXSPIKE shot.During the earnings call, Novavax highlighted findings from Sanofi’s head-to-head Phase IV Compare study, which tested Nuvaxovid directly against Moderna’s vaccine. The Maryland-based company said Nuvaxovid showed “statistically fewer side effects compared to mNEXSPIKE, across all prespecified endpoints.”Novavax added that people who received Nuvaxovid were “twice as likely as mNEXSPIKE recipients to say they would definitely choose the same vaccine type again the following year.” The company also pointed to real-world data from the Shield study conducted with the University of Utah, saying that participants who received Nuvaxovid reported fewer side effects and “half as many hours of lost work” compared with recipients of mRNA vaccines.The findings are notable since Novavax’s turnaround depends on its protein-based vaccine as a differentiated alternative in the crowded COVID and future combination flu-COVID market. Novavax believes the combined COVID-flu vaccine market could eventually represent a $10 billion to $12 billion opportunity.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Pfizer, Sanofi Deals Fuel NVAX Optimism</h2>While demand for standalone COVID vaccines has weakened globally, Novavax is leaning on licensing agreements and partnerships to drive growth. The company received a $30 million upfront payment during the quarter from its Matrix-M adjuvant agreement with pfizer. Matrix-M is Novavax’s in-house ingredient that helps the body build a stronger immune response after vaccination.&nbsp;“Despite whatever is happening in the macro environment, there seems to be a very strong interest,” CEO John C. Jacobs said during the conference call. The company said that its partners are currently exploring over 30 infectious disease and cancer indications using Matrix-M.&nbsp;“Our partnerships with Sanofi and Pfizer have the potential on their own, to generate billions in revenue from milestone and royalty opportunities,” Jacobs said. Sanofi is developing combination flu-COVID vaccines using Nuvaxovid under a deal worth at least $1.2 billion.<h2 class="st-heading-2">NVAX Reaffirms 2026 Revenue Outlook</h2>Novavax maintained its 2026 adjusted revenue forecast in the range of $230 million and $270 million, excluding royalties and sales from the Sanofi agreement. The company also reiterated that it expects its existing cash position and partner reimbursements to fund operations into 2028 even without additional milestones or royalty revenue. Novavax posted a Q1 net loss of just $9 million and continues targeting non-GAAP profitability by 2028.&nbsp;After the earnings report and updated vaccine data, TD Cowen raised its price target on Novavax to $9 from $8, still implying a 4% downside from current levels, while maintaining a ‘Hold’ rating. The brokerage cited the Sanofi-led head-to-head study and growing evidence that Nuvaxovid may offer a differentiated tolerability profile compared with other mRNA vaccines.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About NVAX?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for NVAX was ‘extremely bullish’ amid over a 430% surge in 24-hour message volumes.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/nvax_ss_png_50a26f969e.webp" alt="nvax ss.png" width="968" height="142"><figcaption>NVAX sentiment and message volume as of May 7 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/topstockalerts/message/652530627">said</a>, “not chasing but definitely watching this closely”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/topstockalerts/message/652530627</stembedurl>Another user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/Bodu/message/652514332">said</a>, “Lean organization, massive $100 billion market.
