But this innovative biotech company has its eye -- and research -- on another big opportunity. And it soon may find itself in a second billion-dollar market. That&#39;s the flu market.</p><p><i>Wait a minute</i>, you may be saying. <i>The flu?</i> When you think of flu vaccines, you may not necessarily think of a huge market opportunity. Many players already share the market. And no one talks about flu vaccines as representing blockbuster revenue. But there may be more to this market than first meets the eye. Let&#39;s find out why this may be Moderna&#39;s next success story.</p><h2>Today&#39;s flu market</h2><p>First, a look at today&#39;s flu market. It&#39;s worth about $5 billion to $6 billion. U.S. health officials recommend nine flu vaccines for use during the upcoming season. Four different pharmaceutical companies make these vaccines. Market leader <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GCVRZ\">Sanofi</a> </b>generated $2.6 billion last year from sales of its flu vaccines.</p><p>So, how could a new player make a big mark on this scene? Well, the market is evolving. And it&#39;s moving toward the idea of better and more effective vaccines. For example, a vaccine targeting the very latest flu strain in a particular country. Or even a combination vaccine that targets both flu and another virus -- such as the coronavirus. Moderna is working on both.</p><p>The company&#39;s flu candidate recently began a phase 3 study. Farther down the road, Moderna&#39;s big goal is to commercialize combination respiratory vaccines. The company is studying a coronavirus plus flu vaccine candidate in phase 1. And it&#39;s exploring a candidate covering flu, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus in preclinical studies. Moderna expects that candidate to start phase 1 trials by the end of the year.</p><p>Combined vaccines represent a huge opportunity. That&#39;s because people are likely to prefer getting one series or individual shot that covers two or three viruses over going out for multiple shots. And healthcare providers will gain in efficiency.</p><h2>&#34;Premium&#34; vaccines</h2><p>Getting back to the issue of more targeted efficacious vaccines, Moderna says these &#34;premium&#34; vaccines could result in a larger flu vaccine market overall. And the company says these vaccines merit higher prices -- for instance, more than $50 per dose. For the upcoming flu season, shots range between $18 and $28 per dose.</p><p>All of this means the flu opportunity of tomorrow may be much different from the flu market of a few years ago -- or even today. And Moderna could be among the first to benefit. Moderna has said it may launch three respiratory vaccines within the coming two to three years. And one of those is the flu candidate.</p><p>At the same time, Moderna predicts the annual coronavirus vaccine market in the U.S. alone may range from $5.2 billion to $13 billion. The exact number will depend on vaccine pricing and uptake among the population. But even at the low end, Moderna still has ensured itself one blockbuster product.</p><p>If all goes well with the flu candidate, Moderna may add a second blockbuster vaccine to its repertoire.</p><h2>What does this mean for investors?</h2><p>Moderna may be on the road to dominating not just one, but two billion-dollar vaccine markets in the next few years. Considering this, Moderna&#39;s price of 5.2 times forward earnings estimates looks pretty cheap.</p><p>Of course, Moderna shares may not soar in a short period of time like they did at the start of the pandemic. But for long-term investors, that&#39;s OK. Over time, Moderna may prove that its first product will continue to thrive. And at the same time, the company might excel in and transform other major markets.</p><p>So, right now is a great time to buy or hold Moderna shares -- and watch the company enter an exciting new chapter.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>What's Moderna's Next Billion-Dollar Market?

There might be some self-delusion in this, and it is certainly not always true, but it is a strong part of our self-defining myth as a people. Of one Briton, however, it genuinely was true, and for 70 years we have known that because of her virtues we would always be proud of her wherever she went -- and thus proud of our country too. She was a fine lifelong role model for millions in Britain, the Commonwealth and around the world.</p><p>The complete certainty that -- whatever the rest of her family might say or do -- Her Majesty The Queen would never embarrass us on the world stage, but would always perform her duties with the utmost professionalism and unflappable calm, made her the soft-power equivalent of an aircraft carrier when it came to international relations. However much our other national institutions might let us down, we always knew that The Queen would never put a step out of place or say a single word that would make us cringe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96243ab593f31f43979c5b0356e3e1f3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip in Buckingham Palace, December 1958. They were married for 73 years before his death in 2021.</span></p><p>In the full glare of the global media for seven decades, meeting hundreds of thousands of people one-on-one and untold millions in public events, traveling to over a hundred countries of the world, dealing with delicate diplomatic incidents that today are history but at the time could have produced strife, advising 15 prime ministers from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, she knew just what to do. It seems almost superhuman; it was certainly the absolute acme of professionalism. Would to God that more of our leaders in public life had a fraction of her grace, her gravitas and, above all, her common sense.</p><p>The Queen had an uncanny knack for encapsulating in a phrase what the rest of us think but rarely quite put into words, or at least rarely have the opportunity to say to the right person at the right time. &#34;Why did no one see it coming?&#34; she asked Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, about the 2008 Great Crash. &#34;Why would anyone want the job?&#34; she asked Boris Johnson when he became prime minister during the Brexit maelstrom. Then there was the sixth sense she had for what her people were feeling. When they were hurting financially during the Great Crash, she canceled her birthday party at the Ritz.

For these investors, the announcement that Sea is eschewing sales guidance is probably going to come as a disappointment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9936537513,"gmtCreate":1662780462332,"gmtModify":1676537140191,"author":{"id":"3567994143857309","authorId":"3567994143857309","name":"LongShort333","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567994143857309","authorIdStr":"3567994143857309"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9936537513","repostId":"2266415879","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2266415879","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1662773640,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2266415879?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-10 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"She Was the Best of Us","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2266415879","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"ByAndrew RobertsMr. Roberts is the author, most recently, of \"The Last King of America: The Misunder","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fb38370e84ba1fea7d758c98f97d645\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"853\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><i>ByAndrew Roberts</i></p><p><i>Mr. Roberts is the author, most recently, of &#34;The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III&#34; and a royal commentator for NBC News.</i></p><p>We British like to believe that we have the virtues of duty, decency, good humor and tolerance as part of our national DNA.

The Suez Crisis, only four years into the Queen's reign, forced us to come to terms with the loss of the largest empire in world history over the course of only a decade or so, yet we never responded to the imperial humiliation in the way that France did in Algeria, let alone the way Putin is doing in Ukraine. The 1970s saw the serious danger of Britain slipping into the position of a third-rank power, and the tough-love medicine that Margaret Thatcher imposed to reverse that trajectory in the 1980s led to violent strikes and riots, yet not to worse. The issue of race hatred is thankfully largely behind Britons now, but we must never forget that it occasionally caused civil unrest. The refusal of much of the Establishment to accept the result of the Brexit referendum toxified British politics for half a decade. British history since 1952 hasn't been plain sailing.Yet the knowledge that at the apex of our political system, our constitutional structure, our armed forces, our Commonwealth, our legal system and our national church stood a lady of irreproachable morals, who moreover confined her political involvement to advising, encouraging and warning but never to partisan politics, has exercised an inestimably positive influence on our public life. Liz Truss wasn't exaggerating when she perceptively said that the Queen was \"the rock upon which modern Britain was built.\"Although she was a small \"c\" conservative in many aspects of life, as many nonagenarians naturally are, The Queen was always exemplary in the way that she never interfered in politics, and Sir Keir Starmer's public statement showed that the Labour Party admired her just as much as the large-c Conservatives. In a country that is being riven by extreme partisan politics at the moment, as Britons face a post-Covid future and inflationary spirals, admiration for her was one of the few things that united both frontbenches in parliament. Now even that has gone.More than a century separated the births of The Queen's first prime minister, Winston Churchill, and her last, Liz Truss. Even more extraordinary, the 96 years of her life constitutes 39% of the existence of the United States as an independent country. Her love of the United States -- her only incognito holidays were taken in Kentucky -- was instrumental in keeping our most important alliance, the Special Relationship, as fresh as it is profound. We have only just begun to note the number of ways we are going to miss her, on both the international and the domestic stages.A millennium-old monarchy is a book of many chapters. One unusually long and glorious chapter has closed, and a new one is now opening. If Britain today seems somewhat untethered, mournful of course but also apprehensive, it is because King Charles III has almost impossibly large boots to fill. Yet he has been waiting for 70 of his 73 years for the role to devolve upon him and is therefore supremely ready for it. There is something immensely spiritually right that a role such as this is assumed during a period of mourning. Politicians take power feeling like they have won the lottery; monarchs accede to thrones mournful at the death of their parent. Succession at a time of somber reflection rather than exultant triumph is part of the genius of constitutional monarchy.Queen Elizabeth II in the House of Lords for the opening of Parliament, May 2015. She continued to fulfill her duties until the end, appointing her 15th prime minister, Liz Truss, on Sept 6.We as a nation made The Queen do things that we would never, ever, even consider doing ourselves. We expected her to do her job to the age of 96, when we retire at 65, and to keep doing it up to two days before her death. We expected her to invite bloodthirsty dictators to stay in her home, because British foreign policy interests required it. We expected her, aged 86, to stand on a boat in the Thames in the freezing rain during the diamond jubilee, waving for hour after hour. We expected her to shake the hand of a former IRA gunmen who approved the murder of her husband's uncle. We expected her to smile and charm and shake hands cordially, whatever she might privately have been feeling inside about her family's all-too-public traumas.She did all of it, and in 70 years she never once complained. She was the best of us.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":966,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9936535004,"gmtCreate":1662780210409,"gmtModify":1676537140115,"author":{"id":"3567994143857309","authorId":"3567994143857309","name":"LongShort333","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567994143857309","authorIdStr":"3567994143857309"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9936535004","repostId":"2266879811","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":667,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932200960,"gmtCreate":1662942463350,"gmtModify":1676537167005,"author":{"id":"3567994143857309","authorId":"3567994143857309","name":"LongShort333","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567994143857309","authorIdStr":"3567994143857309"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932200960","repostId":"2266992802","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2266992802","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1662939532,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2266992802?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-12 07:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"MicroStrategy Says It May Buy More Bitcoin in Stock Sale Filing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2266992802","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- MicroStrategy Inc., probably best known as the largest corporate buyer of Bitcoin, fi","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Bloomberg) -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTR\">MicroStrategy Inc.</a>, probably best known as the largest corporate buyer of Bitcoin, filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to sell as much as $500 million in stock.
