Feb 21st 2023 Free Analysis - MODERNA

Hey MPA Investors!

I went to the zoo yesterday with my family. And I saw a sign that read “Did you know that otters can catch Covid”. I know Covid has been a point of contention for a lot of people around the world. But this is NOT a political newsletter so we leave all that stuff at the door. Instead what we focus on is investing and where there’s Covid, there’s money made. And that’s exactly what we’re looking at today. So let’s jump right in:

THIS WEEKS' MOVERS SNAPSHOT

Moderna (Stock Ticker: MODERNA) - This is one of those companies that no one would really think about unless you worked in the medical field. Until of course a certain Covid 19 shed a spotlight on a previously nameless industry. Everyone knows “Big Pharma” but it wasn’t until recent years that specific names came to the forefront. And with that we turn our attention to Moderna. They specialize in messenger RNA therapeutics and vaccines. With a focus amongst others on infectious disease.

Why MODERNA?

The pharmaceutical industry is expected to almost double by 2026. Going from $1.11 Trillion to 2.13 Trillion. And of course Moderna has a big piece of that "pharma pie."

Why we feel there’s a buying opportunity:

1. Moderna is announcing their Q4 (sep-dec 2022) earnings February 23 2023. And it’s expected to show a revenue increase of 49% compared to Q3.

2. Each major bank that analysis a stock puts our their own target price. A price that they think the stock will be worth. Here’s the list of target prices expected by some of the big investment banks: - Goldman Sachs - Target Price: $302 - Jefferies - Target Price: $275 - Deutsche Bank - Target Price: $225 - The Bloomberg Analyst Consensus - Average Target Price: $215.33

CURRENT PRICE (as of this email): $163.45

Let’s talk investment risk:

No matter what anyone tells you, every investment comes with risk. Even keeping your money in the bank comes with risk. The risk isn’t very high for keeping your money in the bank, but there’s still a risk. Believe it or not, there’s even a risk for keeping cash. You could have it stolen or in 5 years it could be worth less than it’s worth now because of inflation. So it’s important to understand the different levels of risks that come with investing of all kinds. We would not recommend investing in individual stocks as a retirement plan. If you’re interested in investing in stocks for other reasons, the analysis we give you could help. But we have to be clear, these are NOT recommendations, this is analysis. We give you the analysis similar to what pros get and you decide what to do with it. Our mission is to put the same information that the pros get, into the hands of everyday investors like you in a way that is easy to understand.
