Moderna - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Moderna
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Moderna, Inc.:

Moderna, Inc. has seen significant institutional investment, with Intrinsic Value Partners LLC increasing its holdings by 91.1% recently, indicating strong confidence from large investors.
The stock is currently trading at $42.75, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for potential growth as the market stabilizes.
Analysts have a consensus target price of $93.18, suggesting a potential upside from the current trading price, which could attract investors looking for value.
Moderna, Inc. has a solid financial position with a quick ratio of 3.92 and a current ratio of 4.39, indicating good short-term liquidity and the ability to cover its liabilities.
Recent upgrades from analysts, including a shift from "reduce" to "hold" ratings, reflect a more favorable outlook on the company's future performance.

Moderna
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Moderna, Inc. for these reasons:

Recent downgrades from major brokerages, including a reduction in target prices by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Jefferies Financial Group, suggest a cautious outlook on the stock's performance.
Insider selling activity, with the CFO selling shares recently, may raise concerns about the company's future prospects and could indicate a lack of confidence from management.
With 75.33% of the stock owned by hedge funds and institutional investors, there may be less room for retail investors to influence the stock price, potentially leading to volatility.
The stock has a negative P/E ratio of -7.33, which can be a red flag for investors as it indicates that the company is currently not profitable.
Market sentiment has been bearish, with the stock trading down 8.7% recently, which could deter new investors from entering the market at this time.
