Argus lifts Moderna to Buy after Phase III melanoma win for intismeran

AI Market Summary
Positive Phase III data for Moderna's personalized mRNA melanoma vaccine intismeran (with Merck's Keytruda) strengthens the company's oncology narrative and supports an accelerated path toward potential FDA approval around 2027. Argus upgraded MRNA on expectations of earlier stabilization and diversification away from COVID-era revenues, reinforcing bullish sell-side momentum despite some firms arguing the win was partly priced in.
