Another day, another biotech stumble—Moderna just handed investors a fresh reason to sweat.
What happened?
The mRNA pioneer’s stock nosedived after admitting revenue won’t meet expectations. Blame? A classic case of ‘supply chain issues’—this time, delayed UK vaccine shipments.
Why it matters:
Wall Street hates surprises, especially when they involve nine-figure guidance cuts. Moderna’s now stuck explaining how a logistics hiccup torpedoes their financials—while analysts whisper about demand erosion.
The kicker:
This comes just as rival Pfizer ramps up its own mRNA pipeline. Coincidence? Or proof that even pandemic darlings aren’t immune to gravity—or competent competitors?
