Movement Alert|Novavax Falls 8.04% in Regular Trading, UBS Downgrade to Neutral Pressures Sentiment

Market Focus10-23

On October 23, Novavax fell 8.04% in Regular Trading, trading at $10.04 per share, with turnover of $49.73 million.

The clearest catalyst was a newly disclosed UBS rating downgrade to Neutral, which appears to have directly weighed on near-term risk appetite toward the stock.

As additional context, Bank of America earlier raised its price target to $8 from $7 while keeping an Underperform rating. Novavax had also reported second-quarter results above expectations, with EPS of $(0.32) versus an expected $(0.37) loss and revenue of $56.698 million versus expectations of $52.513 million, but that earnings beat was not enough to offset the more recent cautious analyst stance.
