Why Novavax and Johnson & Johnson Stocks Slipped Today
As a company, if the need for your latest and highest-profile product is declining rapidly, some investors are likely to bail.
That dynamic was very much in force with Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX) stock on Monday, and to a lesser extent with its healthcare industry peer Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) following President Joe Biden's remarks on the coronavirus pandemic during a TV interview. The former's share price cratered by almost 7%, while the latter's slipped by nearly 1%.
The president was interviewed on the show 60 Minutes on Sunday. Reporter Scott Pelley asked him directly if the pandemic was at an end, and Biden responded in the affirmative.
