Moderna cuts sales forecast on weaker vaccine demand
Published On Jan 13, 2025, 11:25 AM
Moderna has reduced its sales forecast for 2025 by $1 billion, now expecting between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in revenue. The downgrade is attributed to weak demand for both its COVID-19 vaccine and its recently launched RSV vaccine, which has seen slower uptake. As a result, Moderna's stock dropped more than 20% in early trading. The company's CEO emphasized ongoing cost-cutting strategies, planning to cut cash operating costs by over $1 billion by 2026, and noted overall vaccine demand is declining.
