The AI's read

Merck and Moderna posted a positive Phase 3 readout for an individualized mRNA cancer vaccine. That win kicked off a risk-on rally across biotech and pulled Novavax higher on sector momentum. NVAX is up about 5% and RSI sits near 65, so the move is real but not stretched. The lift is driven by sector sentiment, not a Novavax-specific development, so upside without company news looks limited. We lean neutral because the catalyst is external and the market regime is choppy. Prefer to see Novavax-specific data or a licensing update before upgrading conviction.
