Analysts’ Take

At the beginning of this month, Redburn Partners analyst Simon Baker upgraded the rating on the stock to Hold from Sell with a price target of $165.

In a research note, the analyst said, “The gap between the share price and our fair value has all but disappeared not yet to the extent of offering attractive upside but by enough to warrant no longer a Sell recommendation.”

Based on 4 Buys, 9 Holds and 1 Sell, Moderna has a Hold consensus rating. The average MRNA price target of $272.55 implies 79.5% upside potential from current levels. Shares have lost 51.6% over the past six months.
