Moderna shares plunge over 21% after leaked vaccine trial results and Citi downgrade

Moderna's stock dropped sharply by over 21% in two days following the leak of early Phase 3 trial results for its personalized cancer vaccine and a major downgrade from Citi, which issued a 'Sell' rating and an $80 price target. Despite the leaked results being generally positive, concerns about Moderna's high valuation and future growth prospects led to the sell-off. The stock had surged nearly 700% year-to-date before this correction but remains significantly up overall. Merck, a partner on the vaccine, also saw a smaller decline in its shares. Investors will be watching for further trial updates and market reactions to gauge Moderna's long-term outlook.

Moderna's stock price on Pluang is currently USD 193.84, down 4.34% as of Oct 23, 2026 17:11 WIB, trading well below its 52-week high of USD 245.81 but far above its 52-week low of USD 22.36. In contrast, Merck's shares have declined only 0.78% to USD 146.09, closer to its 52-week high of USD 156.43 than to its low of USD 82.49. Pluang order activity shows a heavier sell sentiment for Moderna at 71% compared to 63% for Merck, reflecting more cautious positioning among investors on the platform.
