Health stocks have plummeted following Donald Trump's appointment of vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, with Moderna, Pfizer, and GSK experiencing significant losses. The decline has affected US-exposed European healthcare stocks as well, amid growing uncertainty in the vaccine industry. Analysts have downgraded their outlooks on vaccine stocks, reflecting concerns over Kennedy's stance on vaccines and potential policy changes.
Wall Street reacted negatively to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appointment as head of the US Health and Human Services Department, causing significant drops in vaccine and healthcare stocks. Analysts believe the market's response may be exaggerated, noting that RFK Jr. has not proposed drastic changes and has stated he does not plan to eliminate vaccines. Concerns stem from his skepticism about the drug approval process and potential influence over key health agencies.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appointment as Health Minister in Donald Trump's administration has triggered a significant decline in pharmaceutical stocks across the US and Europe, with fears of potential drug price caps impacting investor confidence. Major companies like UCB and argenx saw sharp drops, reflecting broader concerns about the future of drug pricing and regulation under Kennedy's leadership. Analysts suggest that while there are constraints on his power, the potential for reduced regulations could lead to increased mergers and acquisitions in the sector.
Moderna and Novavax stocks plummeted after President-elect Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, with shares of Moderna falling over 8% and Novavax nearly 2%. This decline follows Trump's remarks about allowing Kennedy to take a bold approach to healthcare, despite Kennedy's controversial stance against vaccines. Both companies have seen over a 20% drop in stock value in the past week.
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his controversial views on vaccines, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, who previously ran for president as an independent, aims to address chronic diseases and reduce harmful chemicals in food. His appointment has raised concerns among public health advocates about potential negative impacts on health policies and vaccine regulation.
Traders are closely monitoring market movements following President-elect Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS, raising vaccination concerns. Key biotech stocks like Moderna and Pfizer have seen declines, while the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF dropped 3%. In retail, Grocery Outlet and Warby Parker are up significantly, while Boeing's stock has fallen 15% since August amid labor disputes. Upcoming economic data is anticipated to influence market sentiment further.
Shares of vaccine manufacturers plummeted following President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a noted vaccine skeptic, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer, and BioNTech all experienced significant declines, with Moderna down over 5% and Novavax falling more than 7%. Experts warn that Kennedy's influence could amplify anti-vaccine sentiments, potentially hindering vaccination efforts in the U.S.
Pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer and Moderna are profiting immensely from Covid-19 vaccines, with combined profits reaching $65,000 per minute. Despite their financial success, they have largely neglected low-income countries, delivering less than 1% of their vaccine stocks to these regions. The People's Vaccine Alliance highlights the urgent need for equitable vaccine distribution to combat "vaccine apartheid."
Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel will step down as the company's chief commercial officer, with president Stephen Hoge taking over sales and medical research responsibilities. Bancel will continue in his role as CEO, following his appointment to lead sales and marketing after the departure of former commercial officer Arpa Garay.
Nations have established the "Cali Fund" to ensure companies sharing profits from genetic resources contribute to biodiversity preservation, targeting firms with significant revenues. However, the voluntary nature of contributions raises concerns about the impact on rapid vaccine development and access to genetic data, particularly amid ongoing pandemic negotiations. Critics warn that new regulations could hinder medical research, emphasizing the need for seamless access to digital sequence information for effective health responses.
