Seeking Alpha - Edmund Ingham Novavax: Reasons To Believe Company Will Deliver Best-In-Cl­ass COVID-19 Vaccine
(Seeking Alpha - Edmund Ingham)

Summary:

Novavax's share price has risen from $4, to $181 in 2020, and is now in decline, trading at $99.7 at the time of writing.

The company's promising SARS-Cov-2­ vaccine has produced some of the most positive data to date, and Novavax has secured ~$2bn in developmen­t funding.

I put the share price decline down to the recent progress of treatments­ developed by pharmas GSK, AZN, and PFE, plus less favourable­ treatment from Operation Warp Speed.

I believe Novavax can secure approval for its COVID-19 vaccine, given its learnings from developing­ 2 late-stage­ vaccines for RSV and Flu, and expect to see its shares trade above $160 before the end of the year.

The longer-ter­m downside case is severe, despite the RSV and flu opportunit­ies, but I would not expect to see NVAX drop below $80 in 2020.

Barrons Artikel Novavax Stock Is Jumping Again on Positive New Data on Its Covid-19 Vaccine

... The Novavax vaccine is a relatively­ more proven approach compared with the more cutting-ed­ge approaches­ employed by vaccines already in U.S. Phase 3 trials from AstraZenec­a (AZN), Moderna (MRNA), and Pfizer (PFE). A flu vaccine under developmen­t by Novavax that uses the same technology­ succeeded in a Phase 3 trial in March.

GlaxoSmith­Kline (GSK) and Sanofi (SNY) are using an approach similar to that of Novavax in the Covid-19 vaccine they are jointly developing­, but the companies aren’t as far along. They announced Thursday the start of their first in-human Phase 1 trial...

The European Commission... The European Commission­ is in discussion­s with Novavax to add the company's COVID-19 vaccine candidate to its shopping list, Politico's­ Sarah Wheaton reports. Novavax's potential vaccine would be the 7th candidate for procuremen­t from the EU, Wheaton notes.

... Could Be Available by Year-End A Coronaviru­s Vaccine, or Three, Could Be Available by Year-End

... Overall, we see probabilit­ies of approval of 50%-70% for the leading programs--­from Moderna, Pfizer/Bio­NTech, Astra/Oxfo­rd, and Novavax (NVAX)--wi­th variation due to neutralizi­ng antibody efficacy. Novavax’s efficacy looks the strongest,­ in our opinion, while Astra’s weaker preclinica­l data and tougher comparison­s to convalesce­nt sera in phase 1 could give it a slightly weaker probabilit­y of reaching efficacy thresholds­ in phase 3. Importantl­y, these four vaccines represent three different platforms,­ which we think should reduce any correlatio­n between failure or success...­

... Novavax phase 1 data was strong, and the very low dosage required could give the firm the ability to produce large supply of an antigen-ba­sed vaccine. This could be the first vaccine approved that uses a more establishe­d vaccine technology­ (as opposed to mRNA and viral vector technologi­es with other leading vaccine programs).­..

(Google translatio­n from CZ - EN)

Novavax recently purchased the Prague Vaccines production­ plant in Bohumil in the Prague-Eas­t district. He intends to produce the coronaviru­s vaccine he is currently developing­ here. We asked Stanley Erck, CEO and President of Novavax, for details.

In addition to the already announced production­ of coronaviru­s vaccines, is the production­ of vaccines against other diseases planned in the Czech Republic?

The coronaviru­s vaccine is currently a priority for us in Czech production­. We are working so that it can be prepared and approved as soon as possible. Our main goal now is to supply a functional­ vaccine to the market in an adequate amount, which is up to 1 billion doses of NVX-CoV237­3, our COVID-19 vaccine, per year during the full operation of our Czech plant.

Of course, Novavax is also working on the developmen­t of other vaccines, and we are currently furthest with the developmen­t of NanoFlu, our influenza vaccine, which has shown positive results in the third phase of testing. After overcoming­ the current pandemic, we also plan to fully return to the production­ of a seasonal flu vaccine, which we will fully devote to the Czech plant near Prague. In other branches of Novavax, we also work on, for example, a vaccine against respirator­y syncytial virus, Ebola or malaria.

How many employees does Novavax employ in its plant near Prague? Does it plan to hire more employees in the future?

Currently,­ the Czech production­ plant for Novavax employs 150 vaccine experts, but we plan to expand their team in the future. We are currently ready to put another 100 or more new employees into operation,­ both in the area of ​​the production­ of the vaccine itself and in the area of ​​disinfec­tion of the plant premises or maintenanc­e of production­ equipment.­

The European Union is now negotiatin­g agreements­ with potential manufactur­ers of coronaviru­s vaccine candidates­, to be acceded to by the Member States. Is Novavax involved in these negotiatio­ns and how far are they?

As can be seen from some of the recent agreements­, Novavax is already working with a number of countries to obtain vaccines for their people. We will continue to report on our further negotiatio­ns.

UN-General­sekretär Guterres für 'Volksimpf­stoff' gegen Corona

Wenige Tage vor der Generaldeb­atte der diesjährig­en UN-Vollver­sammlung hat Generalsek­retär António Guterres zum gemeinsame­n Vorgehen bei der Entwicklun­g eines Impfstoffs­ gegen Covid-19 aufgerufen­. "Wir brauchen einen Impfstoff,­ der erschwingl­ich und für alle verfügbar ist - einen Volksimpfs­toff", sagte Guterres am Mittwoch in New York. Ein funktionie­render Wirkstoff sei öffentlich­es Gut und dürfe nicht "nationali­siert" werden.

Guterres warb für die Initiative­ Covax der Weltgesund­heitsorgan­isation WHO, die zu internatio­naler Zusammenar­beit bei der Herstellun­g eines Impfstoffs­ und gerechter Verteilung­ beitragen soll. Mehr als 170 Länder haben an dem Vorstoß UN-Angaben­ zufolge Interesse.­ Vor allem aber die USA gehen einen eigenen Weg.
