Moderna Inc (MRNA US) – What Would Happen After Moderna Enters China?
- Moderna’s move into China helps ease its current performance difficulties. But China has its own regulations/policies on vaccines. Whether Moderna can successfully adapt/stand out in China remains to be seen.
- The entire vaccine industry in China is expected to undergo significant changes. We listed the companies in this industrial chain that would benefit from the successful signing with Moderna.
- An important signal behind this deal is that while significant differences remain at the top, mutually beneficial business cooperation between China and US will continue, providing investors with additional options/confidence.
NTGR: Easing Inventory Concern

- The inventory rebalancing at NTGR’s main retailers is mostly sorted out and NTGR has been putting greater emphasis on its super premium wireless systems
- NTGR’s ability to generate free cash flow this year should improve investor sentiment in owning the stock.
