Moderna, Inc. (MRNA) saw its stock price soar 6.06% during pre-market trading on Thursday, continuing a strong rally from the previous session.
The surge is driven by positive five-year data from a Phase 2b clinical trial for Moderna's experimental skin cancer vaccine, developed in collaboration with Merck & Co. The data showed that adding Moderna's intismeran autogene to Merck's KEYTRUDA significantly reduced the risk of recurrence or death in melanoma patients, with sustained benefits observed over the five-year period.
Additionally, Bernstein raised its price target on Moderna to $35 from $25, reflecting increased confidence in the company's growth trajectory. This combination of promising clinical results and analyst optimism has fueled investor buying interest in the pre-market session.
