NVAX, is prepping for a turnaround ERA. Massive Growth Prospect!NVAX surged an impressive 29.4% last trading day with significant volume. Net positive volume increased massively from 6.33M to 28.12M for a 344% increase. These extraordinary numbers should be telling of what's to come in the mid to long term.
Buyers are back in the scene, positioning at the current price range in anticipation of growth prospect both in technical and fundamental aspect.
On our monthly data, some big shifts are happening. On histogram, the stock recorded its third straight shifted lines -- these lines came out after 3.5 years of waiting. Similarly, a fresh bubble up volume re-appeared after a series of descend over the years. This is giving us a lowkey clue already of the intended direction.
It is now sitting a 1.0 FIB level, this is beyond bargain / discount already. The stock is hovering around a 4-year longstanding strong support. Expect some upside price valuation to materialize in the next coming weeks.
All these 'shifts' are conveying a turnaround prospect for NVAX.

MRNA Taking Profit, Watching for a add LONG after a pullback.MRNA has been on fire since the earnings beat 4 weeks ago and has added 60% to its market cap
in the past three months. It compares well with NVAX which as a prior penny stock has more
volatility and upside potential. In general vaccine stocks are performing well as COVID RSV
and influenza vaccines are active in research are Viral Hepatitis vaccine enhancements and
the drive for an HIV vaccine.
MRNA is strong and perhaps becoming overbought. The mass index indicator has topped and
maybe falling to the trigger line. I will take a one- third partial off my position here
and wait for a pullback with reversal to add back into the position at a lower price.
The tandem of MRNA and NVAX has been very profitable for me. Careful in trade management
will help me keep it that way.
NVAX pushed to bottom of its channel LONGNVAX powered off its earnings and a news catalyst and is overdue now for a correction. While in
an ascending channel NVAX is now at the bottom of the channel perhaps due to the general
market moves this week. From here it can move up in the channel or breakdown and fall into
a significant correction from the uptrend since May 10th. I am bullish on NVAX and have
a prior perspective of an insider. I have realized profit six figures from my call options for
January 2025 and have a large number remaining in the trade. At this juncture, I will watch
for NVAX to move up in the channel and take a trade of shares and some call options
for 15.00 expiring in June 2025 to take advantage of long term capital gains on the options.
The FDA is currently reviewing some COVID vaccine data which is particularly relevant to
NVAX. The volume profile has a shelf at 14.25 which will be my stop loss on the shares.
The options will have a 20% stop loss. Considering the level from which NVAX has fallen over
a period of some period there is great potential in my opinion.
Sanofi Set to Take a 4.9% Stake in Novavax for $70 MillionShah Capital has announced the withdrawal of its campaign against the re-election of three directors on Novavax's board following the COVID-19 vaccine maker's licensing deal with Sanofi. The deal, signed on May 10, entails Sanofi taking a 4.9% stake in Novavax for $70 million at a substantial valuation, including an upfront cash payment of $500 million and future payments contingent on specific milestones and royalties. This move comes after Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) struggled to bring its protein-based vaccine to the market in a timely manner. Furthermore, the company has removed a warning notice from February last year, which cast doubt on its ability to continue operations, signaling increased stability after the deal with Sanofi.
Shah Capital, which holds approximately 7.8% stake in Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ),said that the Sanofi agreement represents a "long-awaited step in the right direction." Despite the withdrawal of its campaign, the fund continues to assert that Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) would benefit from the addition of a stockholder representative on its board.
Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) has reaffirmed its commitment to driving long-term value for all shareholders and has welcomed the decision by Shah Capital to end its campaign, deeming it as the right choice for shareholders and the company.
Moreover, Shah Capital remains vigilant, stating its belief that significant additional value remains to be unlocked at Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ).
Technical Outlook
The Maryland-based biotech company's stock rose approximately 8.53% to $14.21 in premarket trading, marking an almost threefold increase in value this year.
Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) stock has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 79.87 which is quite overbought with the asset trying to maintain the new Resistance Level reached by it.
Additionally, as of April 30, the stock's short interest stood at 32% of publicly available shares, according to analytical Data firm LSEG data.
Novavax Surge Over 130% On $1.4 Bln Covid Shot Deal with SanofiNovavax shares ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) surged over 130% after a $1.4 billion deal with Sanofi was announced to commercialize its Covid vaccine and develop a new combination shot for protecting against the flu and Covid. The biotech firm announced a licensing agreement with Sanofi to sell Novavax’s Covid vaccine worldwide, with Sanofi paying Novavax $500 million upfront and future payments up to $700 million based on other milestones, in addition to royalties.
Sanofi will receive a sole license to develop and commercialize a combination flu and Covid vaccine containing Novavax’s Covid shot and Sanofi’s flu shot. Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) is also entitled to launch and sales milestones of up to $200 million for any vaccine developed by Sanofi as part of the deal. The company expects to launch a late-stage trial of its own combination vaccine targeting Covid and the flu and a stand-alone flu shot later this year.
The licensing agreement will likely lift Novavax’s “going concern” warning issued last year, after the company said “substantial doubt exists” to continue operating. A significant uptick for Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) shares follows yearslong financial woes for the biotech firm. The company cut its 2024 sales forecast in its first-quarter review, decreasing projections from between $800 million and $1 billion to $400 million to $600 million. Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) also reported a first-quarter net loss of $148 million, compared with a net loss of $294 million during the same period last year.
As part of the deal, Sanofi is also taking a less than 5% equity stake in Novavax, and Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) will receive royalty payments for future sales of its COVID-19 vaccine and the future combination COVID-19 and flu vaccine. The deal will allow Novavax to lift its “going concern” warning, which was issued in early 2023 over concerns that it may not be able to financially survive as demand for COVID-19 vaccines waned.
Alongside the Sanofi deal, Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) also reported first-quarter results that missed analyst estimates. Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) reported revenue for the first quarter of $93.9 million, shy of the $101.3 million analysts expected, and posted a loss of $147.6 million, or $1.05 per share, wider than the loss of $127.4 million, or 90 cents per share, that analysts projected.
For the full fiscal year, Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) lowered its projected revenue to $400 million to $600 million, down from the previous range of $800 million to $1 billion. However, the estimated $570 million the company expects to receive from Sanofi this year pushed its combined revenue and payments projections higher, to $970 million to $1.17 billion.
Technical Outlook
Novavax ( NASDAQ:NVAX ) is up 98% as of the time of writing, trading above the 200-day Moving Average (MA). The stock has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 86.66 which is clearly in an overbought territory. The daily price charts depict an upside or upward gap that occurred as a result of the impending deal.
XBI the ETF for Biotechnology LONGBiotechnology is expected to be a hot subsector this year as healthcare recovered further from
the COVID pandemic anything from startups to big pharma- from vaccines to new drugs for
diabetes, liver disease and obesity. This is shown on a weekly chart to show the long term trend
with XBI pivoting to bullish back in early November. I add long positions when I see a dip
on the 3-4hr chart. My targets are the fib retracement expectation at 116 confluent with
the first upper VWAP band line and then the 135-138 zone underneath the second upper line
shown in thin red on the chart. This ETF smooths out the volatility characteristic of some
of the smaller biotechnology firms making it safer albeit with lesser rewards expectations.
Positions in NVAX and MRNA are having a good start to the week and will reflect in a small
way in this ETF which has broad constituent stocks within its portfolio.

NVAX Bullish Breakout After Settlement of Gavi DisputeNVAX Technical Analysis
NVAX has been showing some solid bullishness since settling the Gavi dispute. NVAX is pumping out of the buy zone, and there has been a bullish breakout above the light blue resistance line. The key price target ahead is the green resistance line ($6.36), a yellow resistance zone ($8.20 to $8.46), and a red resistance line ($10.23). I have $3.54 to $3.93 as my new buy zone. I think there are likely to be more buy opportunities around there. For now the price is bullish and trending up.
Novavax Reaches Settlement With Gavi, Paving The Way Forward
In a significant development announced on February 22, Novavax, a key player in the COVID-19 vaccine market, has reached a settlement with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, resolving a contentious dispute over unfulfilled vaccine orders. This settlement marks a critical juncture for Novavax, alleviating financial uncertainties and setting the stage for future growth and collaborations.
The Dispute Resolution
Novavax has committed to repaying Gavi a minimum of $475 million, either in cash or through vaccine supplies, by the end of 2028. This agreement comes as a resolution to a conflict stemming from Novavax’s inability to deliver on a contract for up to 350 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine, despite Gavi’s advance payment of $700 million in 2021 and 2022.
Impact On Novavax
The announcement led to a significant surge in Novavax’s stock price, which climbed by 23.2% to $4.91 following the news. This is a noteworthy rebound for the company, whose stock had previously plummeted by nearly 60% amid concerns over its operational viability. The settlement not only removes a major financial overhang but also enhances Novavax’s appeal as a business partner, according to CEO John Jacobs.
Settlement Terms
Under the terms of the settlement, Novavax has made an upfront payment of $75 million to Gavi, with additional payments of $80 million annually in quarterly installments scheduled through 2028. These payments can be adjusted if Gavi opts to receive vaccines instead of cash. The agreement also includes provisions for extra vaccine credits, potentially worth up to $225 million, should demand exceed the annual $80 million mark.
Strategic Implications For Novavax
The resolution of this dispute is pivotal for Novavax, offering a path to stabilize its financials and focus on future endeavors. CEO John Jacobs highlighted the settlement’s role in mitigating the risk of a substantial one-time payment and enabling better cash flow management. The estimated present value of the settlement ranges between $300 and $400 million, signaling a strategic financial recalibration for the company.
Looking Ahead
With new leadership at the helm of both Novavax and Gavi, this agreement signals a fresh start and a mutual focus on future collaborations and initiatives. Novavax is already eyeing new revenue streams, with plans to introduce a combination COVID-flu vaccine by 2026 and capitalize on a malaria vaccine developed in partnership with the Serum Institute of India. These initiatives, coupled with significant cost reductions and operational streamlining, underscore Novavax’s commitment to overcoming past challenges and seizing future opportunities.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the settlement between Novavax and Gavi not only resolves a major dispute but also highlights the resilience and strategic pivoting of Novavax amidst the complexities of the global vaccine landscape. As the company navigates beyond its COVID-centric phase, this development offers promising insights into its potential for innovation, growth, and partnerships in the years to come.
NVAX rises impending an earnings report LONGToday NVAX is selling for a tiny fraction of its all-time high as shown in a previous idea. Earnings
is coming this upcoming week. This week NVAX news release showed it had settled a years long
litigation over a failed COVID. In the face of earnings around the corner, was this news release
a coincidence or instead a case of excellent executive and legal timing? I will skip the
conspiracy discussion.
On the chart, NVAX's bullish momentum is clear on its face. A price rise of 22% from a stock
that has been stuck in deeply undervalued territory for a significant time period is remarkable.
I have bought far out of the money call options into 2025 and 2026 some only this past month.
Those from this month are now up over 250% with 11 and 23 months to go to expiration.
I see NVAX as a risky penny medical stock with a high reward potential relative to the
risk. It is a potential buy-out candidate and bankruptcy is less likely. The rich uncle is
MRNA but the richer uncle in PFE might gain some interest. The wisest of capitalists buy out
the competition when there is an opportunity and do not worry about the government crying
monopoly when life-saving and life-extending medical products are involved. Time will tell.
I expect insane profits.
MRNA- a vaccine biotechnology stock LONGMRNA focuses on vaccine research and development and we are in the flu season an COVID is
lurking in the shadows and trying to make a comback. It had an excellent earnings report and
forward guidance. On the 60 minute chart, price has bounced up from a test of the anchored
VWAP and is at the level of the first upper VWAP while in side the high volume area of the
volume profile. The RSI is in the 60s. Bullish momentum is obvious. I will add to my ongoing
position here and again the next time I see a dip on the 15-30-minute chart. I look forward
to take a piece out of the position after the next earnings report in about 75 days. I have an
alert for relative volume when the running mean is exceeded on the 30 minute chart which
notify me to take a look at the chart. This is illustrated on this longer time frame chart about
the days around earnings but occurs from time to time from other events. As an aside, if NVAX
gets weak and develops fundamental challenges. MRNA is a potential rich uncle and could be
the leading candidate to do a takeover, friendly or otherwise.
NVAX- a medical penny stock Buy Weakness LONGNVAX on a 120 minute chart demonstrates a trend down in the past month after a period of
consolidation producing the POC line on the volume profile. The MACD shows some bullish
divergence. The volume profile has high volume nodes at 4.0 and 5.0 separated by a relative
volume void. NVAX fell quickly through that void. It can just as easily rise through it. See the
linked article on NVA from TipRanks. Options volume and pricing analysis is that bets are looking
at5.0 diligently. Fundamentally, NVAX has been range limited by its focus on COVID but it does
have other projects in its pipeline admittedly on various timelines with varying probabilities
of capitalizing on them depending on clinical trials FDA approvals and so on. On the imbedded
relative strength table as compared with SPY and peers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology,
medical device and healthcare spaces NVAX compares favorably with MRNA its closest peer
but is weak compared with most of the others I have selected especially with LLY, which is
high-flying from its anti-obesity drug breakout. Device companies Stryker and Intuitive Surgical
are quite strong as well. United Healthcare is dominant in the insurance subsector and strong
overall.
One often effective strategy is to buy when an instrument is oversold and undervalued at a
discount. I will buy NVAX here no matter that I have insider connections with one of those
medical device companies and a few not on the list. Sentiment only goes
so far. I found the article compelling and so Novavax long I go. On a trading site left unsaid
my screenname is "Bottom Feeding Grinder". I have an appetite for NVAX found at the bottom
right now. This is a reversal/reversion to the mean long trade. It is not without risk. As a
penny stock with high volumes, low cost of entry and perhaps low floats, volatility is
underscored and exaggerated if a volume inflow gets underway That said, a short squeeze
is within the spectrum of possibilities. Enough said for now.
Novavax- NVAX- Medical Technology Vaccine Focused LONGNVAX on the 15 minute chart has been compressing price action volatility into a symmetrical
triangle. It in now in a breakout of the triangle and in the process when from undervalued on
Monday to the upper trendline and then down to the support trendline and then up again.
It passed through the volume profile and its high volume area. In short, it has bullish
momentum capped off with a breakout from the high volume area into a bullflag to rest the
weekend. I am in this stock going and now is an opportunity to add to the position. If a trader
wants to know what I consider to be targets upside, let me know. Medical technology is
expected to be among the hottest of subsectors for 2024. NVAX has been beaten down. I
believe it has significant upside for the long term. in the short term, earnings are expected
on February 28th so this is a trade to consider on that run up. Call options for March 2 or March
16 can be considered.
Nutrix Therapeutics ( NRIX) has momentum for earnings LONGNRIX , on the 15 minute chart is experiencing increase volatility and volume now two
days out from its earnings report. It printed a "big ass" green engulfing candle to finish the
week. The MACD with zero lag shows a bullish inflection in the lines
On the daily chart, price fell about 25% in 2023. earnings have been both line beats but
the negative cash flow remains as a challenge. The volume and volatility show both are
heightened in the pre-earnings run- up. . This is a risky earnings
play, NRIX does not yet make money like many other young biotechnology companies trying to
grow However, because it lost less than forecasted, buyer interest has increased. There is
an absence of any options volume and so illiquidity prevents consideration of options
trading. I suspect a long trade in shares may gain to $14 targeting the pivot highs of
April 23 and November 22 for projected gain upside of about 65% ( stop loss of 2.5%)
If earnings disappoint trader expectations and price fades I will stop out with a loss of about
2.5% This makes this long swing trade a projected 2.5 /65 a R:r of 25 which validates it as
a conservative trade if taking only 5% or less of buyer power applied to the risk. Biotechnology
is expected to be one of the hottest subsectors of 2024. This could be one of them.
CARA a Biotech Pennys Stock with earnings coming LONGCARA is here on a 15 minute chart. The earnings report is due March 4th. The price action is
already demonstrative of bullish momentum. CARA rose 60% this past week. It is still on sale
at 95% off its all time high. Spiking buying volume, and so an upgoing Price Vulme Trend and
squeeze release triggers on lower time frames all have CARA moving well prior to earnings.
I see this as a long trade setup quite well. The available option contract on a thin-chain
for strike 2.5 on March 15 added 20% on Friday. I will pass on any options contracts as the
thin volume is a higher-than-acceptable risk. I will be more than happy with another 60%
price rise in the upcoming week and it could be more.
RZLT Biotechnology Penny Stock Reports in the next day LONGRZLT is a biotechnology company which has products in clinical development. Many are aware that means rigorous clinical trials before an FDA approval and a product line that generates earnings. Stock price is more about growth and potential more than anything else. That
said the chart looks good and I sense there is momentum heading into earnings in the next day
so this is a buy for me. I can see that price broke above a recent supply/resistance zone. This
penny stock likely cannot be shorted so there is no selling pressure to be exerted until present
longs have found their target. This can add to the momentum without the drag of that short selling. A penny here and a penny there it all adds up over time especially with compounding in active trading with penny stocks that have great range.
ROIV - BioTech reporting 2/13 as a LONG earnings tradeRoivant Scientes, on the 15 minute chart is experiencing increase volatility and volume now two
days out from its earnings report. The MACD with zero lag shows a bullish inflection in the lines
On the daily chart, ROIV gained 38% in 2023 but has been down 4 %YTD. The volume and
volatility show both are heightened in the pre-earnings run- up. The last report in November
was a double beat which is good prognosis for the one upcomings. This is a risky earnings
play, ROIV does not yet make money. However, because it lost less than forecasted, buyer
interest has increased. The call option for 2/16 for a strike of $12.50 is priced at $ 5.00
per contract. I suspect a long trade in shares may gain to $ 11.50 targeting the double top
at the turn of the year for a projected gain upside of about 7% (with a stop loss of 2.5%).
Considering that ROIV has gained 12% this past week, 7% in the next two days is about the
same trend angle. As to the call contract, I have considered 100% return as my expections
for the two days before the earnings. If earnings disappoint trader expectations and price fades
I will sell to close the contract. If earnings is as expected, I will roll the contract forward into
the March monthly and add a bit more capital into the trade.
NVAX Novavax Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought NVAX during the Covid Pandemic:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of NVAX Novavax prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 7.50usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-1-19,
for a premium of approximately $0.87.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
NVAX Novavax Vaccine approved! Buy Opportunity!If you haven`t bought NVAX during the pandemic:
Then you need to know that NVAX Novavax's recent achievements in gaining full marketing authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid, in the UK and Singapore, alongside its availability in major U.S. pharmacies, have ignited optimism among investors. These milestones signify a bright future for NVAT stock.
The international authorization of Nuvaxovid opens doors to vast markets, enhancing revenue potential and global recognition for Novavax. the EU delayed the approval, but will update its decision by the end of this month.
Nuvaxovid's availability at CVS and Rite Aid in the U.S. immediately after regulatory clearance demonstrates its acceptance and accessibility.
Nuvaxovid is a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, different from the mRNA vaccines of PFE and MRNA.
My price target is $10 by the end of this month.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
$NVAX Trending Back Down to the Buy ZoneNVAX has started distributing millions of COVID-19 vaccine shots. However, NVAX is trending back down towards the buy zone. I think that this will present a great second chance buy opportunity after NVAX's recent rally to $8. The markets have been affected by the new Israel Palestine conflict. Other key events this week are September PPI inflation data and Fed meeting minutes on Wednesday October 11. I think the markets are likely to have some sideways price action on Tuesday in anticipation of the new inflation and fed data.
