Moderna Stock Soars on Buyout Buzz – Can New Vaccines Fuel a Comeback?
Moderna shares surged 12% to near $27.50 on Oct. 30, 2025, after reports of takeover talks with a large drugmaker. The rally follows a STAT News report on possible deals, but Moderna declined comment. Despite gains, the stock remains down about 37% year-to-date. Recent FDA approvals include updated COVID and RSV vaccines, but falling COVID demand has cut 2025 revenue and forced cost reductions.
