&nbsp;
On April 29, 2025, Novavax, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a collaboration and exclusive license agreement, as amended, (the "Amended Collaboration Agreement") with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited ("Takeda") which amends and supersedes the collaboration and exclusive license agreement, dated February 24, 2021, (the "Original Agreement," together with the Amended Collaboration Agreement, the "Agreement").
&nbsp;
The Original Agreement, which granted Takeda an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize NVX-CoV2373, the Company's vaccine candidate for the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the "Vaccine") in Japan, has been amended so that Takeda may develop and commercialize a strain for the Vaccine that is different from the strain that the Company selects for the year, provided such Takeda selected strain must be procured from the Company. Under the Amended Collaboration Agreement, Takeda will continue to purchase the Company's Matrix-M&#x2122; adjuvant to manufacture doses of finished Vaccine with updated adjuvant forecast and other supply terms.
&nbsp;
Under the Amended Collaboration Agreement, the Company will receive a non-refundable upfront payment of $19.5 million of which $5 million is creditable against royalties owed by Takeda for its fiscal year 2024. In addition, on an annual basis, (i) the Company will receive $2 million to compensate the Company for services provided by the Company under the Agreement, and (ii) the Company will receive an additional $8 million annual milestone payment of which $5 million is creditable against royalties owed by Takeda in its fiscal year 2025 or thereafter, if Takeda receives marketing approval of the Vaccine in that year or such approval is not necessary for such year. The parties have also updated the financial terms to replace the share of operating profits and, instead, provide the Company with a tiered royalty as a percentage of Takeda's, its affiliates' and sublicensees' total net sales in the mid to high-teen percentages (subject to certain capped royalty reductions), commencing on April 1, 2024 and will continue until the latest of (a) twenty years after April 29, 2025, (b) all the Company's know-how licensed under the Amended Collaboration Agreement has become publicly available through no fault of Takeda, and (c) the expiration of the last valid claim in the intellectual property rights licensed by the Company to Takeda under the Amended Collaboration Agreement covering the Vaccine in Japan.

Novavax To Receive $19.5M Upfront Payment Under Amended Agreement With Takeda

The President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s request for Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) to conduct new clinical trials for its COVID-19 vaccine.
What Happened: Novavax announced Monday that the Food and Drug Administration requested a new clinical trial before granting full approval for its protein-based COVID-19 shot, despite the company believing its vaccine remains &#8220;approvable.&#8221; 
The requirement came shortly after FDA Commissioner Marty Makary characterized the annually updated vaccine as &#8220;a new product&#8221; requiring new studies.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The situation developed following leadership changes at the FDA, including the departure of the agency&#8217;s longtime Vaccine Chief over disagreements with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 
Industry experts note the FDA had been on track to approve Novavax&#8217;s application by April 1, but Trump appointees directed a pause, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/vaccine-novavax-fda-trump-covid-study-4b4465ad77cfb0554b27b7d59c40ae32">reported</a>, citing anonymous sources.

Why It Matters: A United States Department of Health and Human Services spokesman suggested all COVID-19 vaccines could face stricter requirements, stating: &#8220;The urgency to rush approval of boosters without normal oversight no longer exists.&#8221;
Preliminary results from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44824383/novavax-covid-vaccine-shows-milder-side-effects-than-pfizer-biontechs-shot-study">the SHIELD-Utah study</a> showed Novavax&#8217;s 2024-2025 formula targeting the JN.1 strain produced fewer and less severe side effects compared to Pfizer Inc.

Former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra defended the safety record of COVID-19 vaccines, noting: &#8220;We had put some 700 million COVID vaccines into the arms of Americans. That&#8217;s a pretty good size clinical trial.&#8221;

Trump-Era FDA Appointees Request New Trials For Novavax COVID Vaccine, Reportedly Delaying Approval Timeline

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets rebounded this week as President Donald Trump softened his stance on trade and monetary policy. He indicated that tariffs on Chinese imports could decrease from the current 145% and affirmed his support for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, alleviating investor concerns about central bank independence.
The S&amp;P 500 regained nearly 80% of its post-April 2 losses, with notable gains in technology stocks. ServiceNow (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) led with a 20% weekly increase, while Tesla (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NYSE">TSLA</a>) surged 9.9% after CEO Elon Musk announced a reduced focus on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Despite the rally, economic indicators signaled caution. U.S. private sector growth slowed to a 16-month low, and consumer sentiment declined sharply. Inflation expectations rose, with one-year forecasts reaching 6.5%, the highest since 1981, suggesting persistent economic uncertainty.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Novavax shares are trading lower following a WSJ report indicating the FDA asked the company to complete a new trial for its Covid-19 vaccine.

<a href="https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/novavax-covid-19-vaccine-clinical-trial-fda-de5d3bb3" title="https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/novavax-covid-19-vaccine-clinical-trial-fda-de5d3bb3">https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/novavax-covid-19-vaccine-clinical-trial-fda-de5d3bb3</a>

"FDA Asks Vaccine Maker To Complete New Clinical Trial For Delayed Covid-19 Shot; A New Randomized Study Could Cost Novavax Tens Of Millions Of Dollars, Vaccine Experts Say" - WSJ

Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVX#NASDAQ">NAVX</a>) stock traded higher on Wednesday.
In an SEC filing, Novavax <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/secfilings/25/04/44946464/novavax-inc-general-corporate-statement-form8" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>, &#8220;We believe that our Biologics License Application (BLA) is approvable based on conversations with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as of our Prescription Drug User Fee Act date on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">April 1 and through today</a>.&#8221;
The company said that it received formal communication from the FDA in the form of an information request for a post-marketing commitment to generate additional clinical data.

&#8220;We look forward to engaging with the FDA expeditiously to address the PMC request and move to approval as soon as possible,&#8221; the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/secfilings/25/04/44946464/novavax-inc-general-corporate-statement-form8" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in the SEC filing on Wednesday.&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to a media report in early April, the regulators missed the deadline for deciding to grant full <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44613147/fda-delays-full-approval-decision-on-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine" rel="noreferrer noopener">approval to Novavax&#8217;s shot</a>.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the agency is now delaying the decision and has reportedly requested more data, making it unlikely that the application will be approved soon, according to sources.
In April, Novavax released preliminary results from the SHIELD-Utah&nbsp;study investigating the effects of systemic and local reactogenicity of COVID-19&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44824383/novavax-covid-vaccine-shows-milder-side-effects-than-pfizer-biontechs-shot-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">vaccine doses in&nbsp;Utah</a>.
SHIELD-Utah&nbsp;was a prospective, interventional study conducted at the&nbsp;University of Utah&nbsp;Health.
The study showed Novavax's COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (2024-2025 Formula), targeting the JN.1 strain, resulted in fewer and less severe reactogenicity symptoms when compared with the&nbsp;Pfizer Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>)-BioNTech SE's&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>)&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44808832/shield-utah-study-shows-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-induces-lower-reactogenicity-symptoms-compared-t" rel="noreferrer noopener">mRNA 2024-2025 vaccine</a>.
In September 2024, the U.S. Food And Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Use Authorization to&nbsp;Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (2024-2025 Formula) (NVX-CoV2705) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 in&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40688052/fda-approves-novavaxs-updated-covid-vaccine-targeting-currently-circulating-variants" rel="noreferrer noopener">individuals aged 12 and older</a>.
Novavax&#8217;s vaccine was included in the recommendations issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on&nbsp;June 27, 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novavax Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts, both on and off Wall Street, typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Novavax, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. 
For Novavax, the 200-day moving average sits at $9.94, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is above the current price of $7.33. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: NVAX stock was up 19.5% at $7.47 on Wednesday.

Amphenol Posts Better-Than-Expected Results, Joins SAP, Tesla, Pegasystems And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Wednesday

Novavax shares are trading higher after the company said it believes its Biologics License Application is approvable based on recent conversations with the FDA.

On April 23, 2025, Novavax, Inc. (the "Company") issued the following statement:
&nbsp;
We believe that our Biologics License Application ("BLA") is approvable based on conversations with U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), as of our Prescription Drug User Fee Act date on April 1 and through today.

Shares of vaccine stocks are trading lower after CDC advisers begins a review of vaccine guidelines and discussed a more narrow use of COVID-19 booster shots.

Novavax, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) on Tuesday released preliminary results from the SHIELD-Utah&nbsp;study investigating the effects of systemic and local reactogenicity of COVID-19 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">vaccine doses in&nbsp;Utah</a>.
SHIELD-Utah&nbsp;was a prospective, interventional study conducted at the&nbsp;University of Utah&nbsp;Health.
The study showed Novavax&#8217;s COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (2024-2025 Formula), targeting the JN.1 strain, resulted in fewer and less severe reactogenicity symptoms when compared with the Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>)-BioNTech SE&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44808832/shield-utah-study-shows-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-induces-lower-reactogenicity-symptoms-compared-t" rel="noreferrer noopener">mRNA 2024-2025 vaccine</a>.

This real-world study, conducted between September and&nbsp;December 2024, also showed that the impact of symptoms on daily activities, including work and family responsibilities, was lower in recipients of Novavax&#8217;s vaccine.
&#8220;The risk of side effects or reactogenicity has been shown to be a major decision factor for those opting to get vaccinated. Our findings of lower frequency and intensity of reactogenicity symptoms from the protein-based COVID-19 vaccine observed in SHIELD-Utah&nbsp;add valuable insights to the public debate weighing choice and value of COVID-19 vaccination,&#8221; said&nbsp;Sarang K. Yoon, DO, MOH, Principal Investigator,&nbsp;University of Utah&nbsp;Health.
As in previous studies, the SHIELD study found health care workers who received the Novavax vaccine reported significantly fewer reactogenicity events than Pfizer-BioNTech recipients.
On average, Novavax recipients experienced 1.7 symptoms versus 2.8 systemic symptoms in Pfizer-BioNTech recipients.
43.8% of Pfizer-BioNTech recipients experienced at least one symptom of Grade 2 or higher compared to 24.2% of Novavax recipients.
Local reactogenicity events also showed an absolute difference of 12.5% fewer in Novavax recipients versus Pfizer-BioNTech recipients.
The impact of symptoms on daily activities, including work, showed the hours of reduced activity were lower in Novavax recipients versus Pfizer-BioNTech recipients (mean=0.7 vs. 1.4h and mean=0.8 vs. 2.4h for missed work and less productivity, respectively).
Earlier this month, the regulators missed the deadline for deciding to grant full approval to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44613147/fda-delays-full-approval-decision-on-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine" rel="noreferrer noopener">Novavax&#8217;s COVID-19 shot</a>.

12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

Novavax shares are trading lower following comments by RFK Jr. on the company's COVID-19 vaccine in an interview.

'Novavax Shares Plunge After RFK Jr. Questions Its Covid Vaccine' - Bloomberg News

Bank of America Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech">writes that SMid-cap biotech</a>, companies with small to mid-sized market capitalizations, had a rocky start to the year.
Many companies in the coverage are down 20-40% year-to-date (NBI: -2.35%).
Tariff concerns and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shakeup added further near-term uncertainty to an already challenging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">already challenging outlook</a>.
Earlier this week, Peter Marks resigned from his role at the FDA&#8217;s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
Marks was a top regulator at the FDA and played a key role in ensuring the quick approval of vaccines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44562368/moderna-novavax-shares-are-tumbling-monday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">during the COVID-19 pandemic</a>.
In March, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services unveiled a sweeping restructuring plan on Thursday to cut costs, streamline operations and refocus priorities.

The changes, aligned with President&nbsp;Donald Trump's&nbsp;executive order on government efficiency, will reduce the agency&#8217;s workforce, consolidate divisions, and emphasize efforts to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44519638/us-department-of-health-and-human-services-aligns-with-trumps-executive-order-to-cut-10k-jobs-save-18-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">combat chronic illness</a>.
The analyst points out that public biotech companies raised only $4.7 billion, compared to $13.6 billion last year, highlighting ongoing challenges in the capital market.
&#8220;And while we see these macro headwinds as likely to continue over the course of 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44627820/trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-on-india-exempt-pharma-easing-mark-cubans-price-hike-concerns">drugs being exempt from reciprocal tariffs</a> should offer some much-needed near-term reprieve for the sector, in our view,&#8221; BofA analyst writes.
Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) is just one example of FDA. On Wednesday, the regulators missed the deadline for deciding to grant full approval to Novavax&#8217;s Covid-19 shot.
BofA expects more details on the delay in the coming weeks. The expected $125 million milestone payment from Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) will likely be pushed to the second half of 2025.
Despite small and mid-cap biotech stocks being among the worst performers this year, the sector may still present a strong opportunity. Most of these companies (80%) are pre-commercial and have minimal exposure to tariffs or FDA decisions, with only 2 out of 29 under BofA coverage awaiting FDA approval.
The bigger challenges are high interest rates and limited access to capital, but these risks are already factored into valuations. While negative headlines may continue to impact sentiment and investment flows, the recent broad sell-off could be an appealing entry point.

Despite Headwinds, Biotech Sell-Off Could Offer Buying Opportunity: Analyst

Editor&#8217;s Note: The story has been updated with comments from Novavax
In September 2024, the U.S. Food And Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Use Authorization to Novavax Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (2024-2025 Formula) (NVX-CoV2705) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40688052/fda-approves-novavaxs-updated-covid-vaccine-targeting-currently-circulating-variants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">individuals aged 12 and older</a>.
Novavax's vaccine was included in the recommendations issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on&nbsp;June 27, 2024.

According to a media report on Wednesday, the regulators missed the deadline for deciding to grant full approval to Novavax's shot.
In an emailed statement to Benzinga, Novavax said, &#8220;Novavax can confirm that April 1, 2025, was the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s Prescription Drug User Fee Act date for our Biologics License Application (BLA) seeking the approval of our COVID-19 Vaccine. As of Tuesday, April 1, we had responded to all of the FDA's information requests and we believe that our BLA is ready for approval. 
As of today, we continue to wait on action from the agency and have not yet received an official decision from the U.S. FDA. Our application included robust Phase 3 clinical trial data that showed our vaccine is safe and effective for the prevention of COVID-19. We are confident our well-tolerated vaccine represents an important alternative to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for the U.S.&#8221;
Earlier this week, Peter Marks&nbsp;resigned from his role at the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
Marks was a top regulator at the FDA and played a key role in pushing quick approvals of vaccines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44562368/moderna-novavax-shares-are-tumbling-monday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">during the COVID-19 pandemic</a>.
The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/fda-novavax-covid-19-vaccine-deadline-c160454b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">writes</a> that the agency is now delaying the decision and has reportedly asked for more data and that the application isn't likely to be approved soon, according to sources.
The FDA set an April 1 deadline for a decision.
Novavax reported fourth-quarter 2024 sales of $88.31 million, compared to&nbsp;$291 million&nbsp;a year, beating the&nbsp;consensus of $84.35 million. The decrease was due to lower product sales <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/44013531/novavax-reports-smaller-q4-loss-shifts-focus-from-commercializing-covid-19-vaccine-to-maximize-value" rel="noreferrer noopener">under APA agreements</a>.
The COVID-19 vaccine maker reported an earning loss of 51 cents per share, down from $1.44 a year ago, in line&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44004179/novavax-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results-and-operational-highlights" rel="noreferrer noopener">with the Wall Street Estimate</a>.
The news comes after vaccine stocks came under pressure last week following reports that the Trump administration plans to end financial support for vaccine alliance Gavi, which helps buy vaccines for children in developing countries. The Trump administration reportedly plans to cut billions in global health initiatives.
Price Action: NVAX stock is up 1.25% at $6.09 at the last check on Wednesday.
