Established COVID-19 vaccine makers have come under pressure after $Pfizer (PFE.US)$ and a United Nations-backed public health organization announced a licensing pact to allow generic-drugmakers to produce cheaper versions of the company’s experimental COVID-19 pill.
$Moderna (MRNA.US)$ , $AstraZeneca (AZN.US)$ , and Pfizer’s partner in COVID-19 vaccine development $BioNTech (BNTX.US)$ have lost ~1.4%, ~3.1%, and ~1.0% in the pre-market, respectively. $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$ is trading flat.
The licensing deal by Pfizer to enable wider access to its COVID-19 therapeutic follows a similar deal from the rival drugmaker $Merck & Co (MRK.US)$ for its investigational pill, molnupiravir. Merck has shed ~1.0% in early trading.
The shares of early-stage developers of oral COVID-19 therapies such as $Atea Pharmaceuticals (AVIR.US)$ / $ROCHE HOLDING AG (RHHBY.US)$ , $Redhill Biopharma (RDHL.US)$ , and $Adagio Therapeutics (ADGI.US)$ are also expected to open lower.
Stocks to watch: Established manufacturers of COVID-19 antibody treatments such as $Vir Biotechnology (VIR.US)$ , $Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN.US)$ , $Eli Lilly and Co (LLY.US)$ as well as $Gilead Sciences (GILD.US)$ , which produces the intravenously administered COVID-19 therapy Remdesivir.
In terms of effectiveness, $Pfizer (PFE.US)$ and its rival $Merck & Co (MRK.US)$ have demonstrated about 89% and ~50% effectiveness for their oral COVID-19 drugs, PAXLOVID, and molnupiravir in late-stage trials, respectively.

Taking statistical errors into account, it is comparable or even stronger than just using remdesivir alone. (It doesn't rule out the possibility that Gilead will come up with a better combination in the future)
The case against Merck & Co is a lost cause. So sorry to the shareholders of Merck & Co, you will be trapped for a long time, but luckily it's a value stock, so it will be profitable in one or two years. Merck & Co's HIV/AIDS project is also worth paying attention to.
I lost all the profit I made from Pfizer to VIR. I bought into VIR's stock again, increasing my position.
Update. Pfizer uses PF-07321332 and the HIV drug lopinavir/ritonavir (non-patented) in combination. Note that last year, the World Health Organization's solidarity trial found lopinavir/ritonavir to be ineffective, which is definitely an academic misconduct. Biden's support proves that he knew something in advance. I just think everyone really needs to check their positions. Stocks that benefit from the epidemic need to be profit-taking in a timely manner. You don't want to end up with stocks like PTON that can't run at all.
Experimental data. In fact, PFE, MRK, and the WHO solidarity trial have all played tricks. Can the data from Americans, Indians, and South Americans be pooled together?
In terms of valuation, once the signed contracts are approved, they will definitely be implemented. Who cares about which company is stronger when the government has a budget? We are still in a state of insufficient drugs and a shortage of antibodies. Therefore, REGN and VIR are just short-term speculations. How much is Pfizer worth? As a COVID drug, the market has definitely overestimated it. It will rise and then fall. Then Pfizer will conduct more experiments and turn this into a broad-spectrum antiviral opportunity to make a fortune. Merck & Co. is the same. MRNA and BNTX are both good companies, but we have to calculate their valuations, and why not issue more shares when the price is high? As for Gilead, if it doesn't fall, it's a huge success. The news from Merck & Co. has ruined the chart again... but it's cheap, so just hold onto it.

The profits Big Pharma is making from COVID-19 vaccines will be revealed this week as both $Pfizer (PFE.US)$and $Moderna (MRNA.US)$report Q3 earnings. Analysts are expecting the two companies (Pfizer today, Moderna tomorrow) to disclose a collective $18B in vaccine sales, a figure which is comparable to their last two quarters - combined. Last week, $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$said it saw more than $500M in Q3 vaccine sales, nearly double the $264M it made in the first half. All eyes on Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine business ahead of Q3 results.
Bigger picture:COVID-19 vaccine revenues are more important financially to Moderna, since the jab is its only commercially approved product. Shares also slid yesterday after the company chose to delay the filing of its Emergency Use Authorization request for use in the 6 – 11-year age group. It made the decision upon hearing that the FDA would already need additional time to evaluate the data in adolescents aged 12 to 17, meaning a review for that age category is unlikely to be complete before Jan. 2022. (Pfizer's vaccine was FDA-approved for kids last week).
Investors were also be on the lookout for comments on the vaccine sales for Q4 and 2022, as well as production expectations for younger patients and coverage for more of the globe. Other COVID drugs are also bringing in billions, like $Gilead Sciences (GILD.US)$Veklury antiviral treatment, which is administered to hospitalized patients (had sales of $1.9B in Q3). $Merck & Co (MRK.US)$also predicts its COVID-19 pill, called molnupiravir, could bring in up to $7B in sales next year if granted regulatory authorization.
Rosy sales outlook?"Starting the week of Nov. 8, the kids vaccination program will be fully up and running," White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients said in a statement. The CDC will meet today to assess approval for Pfizer-BioNTech's ( $Pfizer (PFE.US)$ $BioNTech (BNTX.US)$) vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds and the Biden administration has already begun transferring 15M doses to facilitate immunizations at pediatricians' offices, pharmacies, hospitals and health centers. Unlike a pledge from Johnson & Johnson, both Pfizer and Moderna have chosen to profit from COVID-19 vaccine sales.

$BioNTech (BNTX.US)$ was the best performing large pharma/biotech company in October, with a return of ~11.5%.
The German company continues to benefit from sales of its COVID-19 vaccine. October marked the first full month booster shots were available in the U.S., and indications are the uptake is significant.
On Oct. 29, the FDA also granted authorization to BioNTech and its partner $Pfizer (PFE.US)$ for vaccinations in children between the ages of 5 and 11.
Pfizer eked out a small gain of 0.6% in the month.
The next best performer in October was $GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.US)$ with a ~10.5% return.
In mid October, a report surfaced that there was keen interest in its consumer health business. Later in the month, GSK raised its 2021 earnings guidance.
Just behind GSK was $Eli Lilly and Co (LLY.US)$ with a ~10.4% gain.
A highlight for Lilly in the month was its announcement it began a rolling submission of its Alzheimer's candidate donanemab.
Rounding out the top 5 are $Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN.US)$ and $Merck & Co (MRK.US)$ with returns of, respectively, 9.5% and 6.3%.
The worst performing large pharma biotech stock of October was $Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY.US)$ with a 4% loss.
Late in the month, Bristol hit a 52-week low even though it beat Q3 2021 earnings estimates. Shares are down ~7.9% year to date.
$Amgen (AMGN.US)$ came in second place losing 3.2%.
Shares hit a 52-week low on Oct. 12 and almost fell below $200 per share.
The third worst performer was $Gilead Sciences (GILD.US)$ which lost 1.8%.
While Gilead boosted its FY 2021 financial outlook, Cantor Fitzgerald lowered its price target due to a likely delay in the launch of a cancer drug.
Rounding out the top five worst performers were Pfizer and $Novartis AG (NVS.US)$ with gains of, respectively, 0.6% and 1.6%.

Weekly market recap
Stock futures edged lower in overnight trading Sunday after the Dow Jones Industrial Average notched its third positive week in a row at a record high.
Wall Street is coming off a winning week on the back of strong corporate earnings. The blue-chip $Dow Inc (DOW.US)$ gained more than 1% last week and closed Friday at a record. The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ rallied 1.7% last week, also posting its third straight positive week and hitting an all-time high Friday.
Of the 117 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings to date, 84% posted numbers that beat expectations, according to Refinitiv. S&P 500 companies are expected to grow profit by about 35% in the third quarter.
Here's a look at the return of S&P 500 sectors
This week ahead in focus
Some of the biggest technology companies are slated to report earnings this week, including $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$, $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$, $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ and $Apple (AAPL.US)$. A third of the Dow companies also is set to release quarterly results this week, including $Caterpillar (CAT.US)$, $Coca-Cola (KO.US)$, $Boeing (BA.US)$ and $McDonald's (MCD.US)$.
Economists and Fed watchers will also be paying attention on Wednesday, when the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee September meeting will be released. Finally, the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund will run virtually all week.
Economic data out this week includes the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for October on Tuesday, the Census Bureau's durable-goods report for September on Wednesday, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis' preliminary estimate for third-quarter GDP on Thursday.
Economists' consensus estimate is for a seasonally adjusted annual growth rate of 4%, after the economy grew 6.7% in the second quarter.
Monday 10/25
Mega-cap tech companies headline the week's quarterly results starting with Facebook, which reports after the close. Alphabet and Microsoft follow on Tuesday, and Amazon.com and Apple on Thursday.
$Cadence Design Systems (CDNS.US)$, $Kimberly-Clark (KMB.US)$, and $Otis Worldwide (OTIS.US)$release quarterly results.
Tuesday 10/26
$3M (MMM.US)$, $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$, $Ameriprise Financial (AMP.US)$, $Capital One Financial (COF.US)$, $Chubb Ltd (CB.US)$, $Ecolab (ECL.US)$, $Eli Lilly and Co (LLY.US)$, $GE Aerospace (GE.US)$, $Hasbro (HAS.US)$, $Invesco (IVZ.US)$, $Lockheed Martin (LMT.US)$, $MSCI Inc (MSCI.US)$, $Novan (NOVN.US)$, $RTX Corp (RTX.US)$, $S&P Global (SPGI.US)$, $Sherwin-Williams (SHW.US)$, $Texas Instruments (TXN.US)$, $Twitter (Delisted) (TWTR.US)$, $United Parcel Service (UPS.US)$, and $Visa (V.US)$ report earnings.
The Census Bureau reports sales of new single-family houses for September. Consensus estimate is for a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 775,000 homes sold, 35,000 more than the August figure.
The Conference Board releases its Consumer Confidence Index for October. Expectations are for a 110 reading, similar to the September data. The index is 15% lower than its recent peak in June, with concern about the spread of the Delta variant and inflation dampening consumer optimism.
S&P CoreLogic releases its Case-Shiller National Home Price Index for August. Economists forecast a 20% year-over-year rise, a tick higher than July's 19.7% increase. If that estimate proves correct, it would be the fifth consecutive monthly record gain for the index.
Wednesday 10/27
$Automatic Data Processing (ADP.US)$, Boeing, $Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY.US)$, $CME Group (CME.US)$, Coca-Cola, $eBay (EBAY.US)$, $Ford Motor (F.US)$, $General Dynamics (GD.US)$, $General Motors (GM.US)$, $Hilton Worldwide (HLT.US)$, $International Paper (IP.US)$, $The Kraft Heinz (KHC.US)$, McDonald's, $Norfolk Southern (NSC.US)$, $Old Dominion Freight Line (ODFL.US)$, $ServiceNow (NOW.US)$, $Spotify Technology (SPOT.US)$, and $Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO.US)$ release quarterly results.
The Census Bureau releases the durable-goods report for September. New orders for manufactured durable goods are expected to decline 0.5% month over month to $262 billion, after a 1.8% gain in August. Excluding transportation, new orders are seen rising 0.8%, above August's 0.3% gain.
Thursday 10/28
$Altria (MO.US)$, $American Tower Corp (AMT.US)$, Caterpillar, $Comcast (CMCSA.US)$, $Gilead Sciences (GILD.US)$, $Intercontinental Exchange (ICE.US)$, $MasterCard (MA.US)$, $Merck & Co (MRK.US)$, $Moody's (MCO.US)$, $Newmont (NEM.US)$, $Northrop Grumman (NOC.US)$, $Sanofi (SNY.US)$, $Shopify (SHOP.US)$, $Starbucks (SBUX.US)$, and $Yum! Brands (YUM.US)$ hold conference calls to discuss earnings.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis reports its preliminary estimate for third-quarter GDP. Consensus estimate is for a seasonally adjusted annual growth rate of 4%, after the economy grew 6.7% in the second quarter.
Friday 10/29
$AbbVie (ABBV.US)$, $Cboe Global Markets (CBOE.US)$, $Charter Communications (CHTR.US)$, $Chevron (CVX.US)$, $Colgate-Palmolive (CL.US)$, $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$, $L3Harris Technologies (LHX.US)$, and $Weyerhaeuser Co (WY.US)$ report quarterly results.
