In other recent news, Moderna Inc (BMV:MRNA). has been making significant strides in its operations. The company recently secured a tender to supply its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in the European Union, Norway, and North Macedonia, a deal that spans up to four years and covers 17 countries. The agreement allows Moderna to provide its vaccine in various formats, including prefilled syringes, a format favored by healthcare providers for its efficiency and reduced risk of administration errors.
In addition to its COVID-19 vaccine endeavors, Moderna is also at the forefront of the intersection of healthcare and technology. The company's shares surged following comments by Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) Chairman Larry Ellison on the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly in early cancer detection and the creation of personalized vaccines. This optimism was further fueled by the announcement of a $500 billion private sector investment in AI infrastructure, which includes a joint venture named Stargate with participation from OpenAI, SoftBank (TYO:9984), and Oracle.
The company's expansion into other areas of healthcare is also noteworthy. Moderna received a $590 million investment from the Department of Health and Human Services for the development of a bird flu vaccine. The funding aims to expedite the creation of mRNA-based vaccines through the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle Consortium, backed by the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.
However, Moderna recently revised its 2025 revenue forecast to fall between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion, a decrease from the previous consensus forecast of $2.92 billion. In response to the revised forecast, the company announced increased cost-cutting measures, aiming to have approximately $6 billion in cash by the end of 2025. These are the recent developments in Moderna's operations.
