Equity Bottom-Up

<li>With multiple mutations, Omicron may require modifications in the existing vaccines. With fast mover advantage and superior efficacy, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/moderna-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28744:1" rel="noopener">Moderna Inc (MRNA US)</a> seems to be a clear winner of the situation.</li>
<li>Moderna’s current expectation to deliver 2–3 billion doses in 2022 is likely to be revised upwards with the fast spread of Omicron vaccine and full approval of booster doses.</li>
<li>Moderna shares have reasonable valuation compared to its peers. Higher visibility into 2022 and beyond will lead to re-rating opportunity.</li>

Water Tower Research

Research from Water Tower Research

Water Tower Research is a leading equity research firm that provides research on micro, small and mid cap companies.

Water Tower Research was founded by Wall Street veterans after witnessing a fundamental shift in the investment research industry with the result being a declining knowledge base among investors, a lack of awareness and a shrinking pool of fundamental research being conducted on companies across the small-cap and micro-cap spectrum. The same issues are now increasingly occurring in the mid-cap space. This sea change within the investment community is impacting not only the companies themselves but also current shareholders and potential investors. With significantly less active sell-side sponsorship by Wall Street, a substantial information gap has developed between companies and various constituents in the financial community. The net result is fewer channels for insight and information to flow between companies and investors.
