Moderna Reports Strong Q1 Revenue on International COVID Vaccine Sales, Eyes Future Growth

Moderna reported first-quarter revenue of $389 million, surpassing Wall Street estimates due to strong international COVID-19 vaccine sales, particularly in the UK, Canada, and Australia. The company noted a shift toward a more balanced international and U.S. market amid changing U.S. vaccine policies under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Moderna forecasts lower second-quarter revenue but anticipates stable U.S. COVID vaccine demand by 2026 and is focusing on expanding its pipeline beyond COVID-19, including respiratory and cancer vaccines.
