Reuters2023-08-08
Aug 8 (Reuters) - Novavax on Tuesday posted an unexpected second-quarter profit on earlier-than-expected revenue from its COVID-19 vaccine, but still trimmed its full-year forecast for sales of the shot.
Revenue was $424 million in the quarter, up from $186 million a year ago, helped by a $100 million payment that Canada made in order to cancel doses that it had ordered for 2022.
Analysts had expected revenue of $240 million, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
