Moderna on Thursday announced a major pullback in its research and development efforts, as the drugmaker seeks to stretch its cash to cover an extended period of losses. The company said it plans to cut research and development spending by 20% beginning in 2025, pausing a number of drug programs and discontinuing others. The company says those cuts will bring it to break even on an operating cash cost basis in 2028.

Moderna on Thursday said it expects sales of between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion next year, and forecast that new product launches would drive an average annual growth rate of 25% in revenue between 2026 and 2028. The vaccine maker last month projected sales of $3 billion and $3.5 billion for this year, which will be its lowest annual revenue since Moderna launched its COVID-19 vaccine in late 2020 - the company's first commercial product. Shares of Moderna were down 7% at $73.94 in premarket trading.
