AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Novavax rose after the FDA cleared its updated Nuvaxovid vaccine (XFG-adapted) and sanctioned global distribution through Sanofi and Takeda, signaling a shift to a licensing-led model. Q2 results showed $415 million in revenue and ongoing cost cuts that narrowed losses, strengthening cash. An upcoming fall vaccination window and broader biotech momentum support near-term upside, though execution risk remains.
