CureVac: Patent Win Notable, But Won't Answer More Fundamental Questions
Summary CureVac N.V.'s restructuring deal with GSK and workforce reduction suggest financial struggles, with net losses reported from 2020-2023; however, the GSK deal secures funding until 2028.

Despite the legal win, CureVac's pipeline remains weak, with only one wholly-owned asset in clinical development, raising concerns about its long-term viability.

CureVac: GSK's Deal For Infectious Disease Assets Is A Long-Shot For Both Pharmas
Summary CureVac's share price has plummeted over 90% in the past five years due to vaccine efficacy issues and legal disputes. The mRNA specialist was unable to develop a successful COVID vaccine, unlike rivals Moderna and BioNTech. GSK's $400m purchase of CureVac's infectious disease vaccine candidates, announced yesterday, provides a financial lifeline with milestones, and royalties pledged >$1bn. Despite the deal, CureVac still faces challenges in catching up to competitors like Moderna and BioNTech, making a "sell" recommendation appropriate at this time, in my view.

CureVac: No Momentum In Sight
Summary CureVac faces challenges as a German court invalidates one of their key mRNA technology patents, raising concerns about their ability to compete in the mRNA space. The invalidated patent relates to an invention that many argue was not a genuine "invention" as the concepts and technologies were already well-known in the scientific community. CureVac's future prospects rely heavily on their partnerships, such as their joint effort with GSK for influenza and COVID vaccines, and their RNA Printer technology for point-of-care production of RNA therapeutics.

CureVac: Wait For Concrete News Before Investing
In the same way as Moderna and BioNTech, CureVac makes use of mRNA to develop COVID vaccines. However, in contrast to these two illustrious peers which are at commercialization stage, CureVac's first generation vaccine candidate has exhibited a much lower efficiency against infection. Following the August 31 update on CVnCoV, the biotech still makes for an investment case as it is developing a second generation vaccine and is also diversified on cancer cures. The cash position is also good. However, in view of past deceptions around efficacy, it is better to wait for concrete news before purchasing the stock.Analysis Article • Jun 13
