Novavax (NVAX, $186.14)  is reportedly delaying contract signing with EU for COVID-19 vaccine supply

Novavax  is reportedly delaying signing a contract to supply its COVID-19 vaccine to the EU due to production issues. 

According to a Reuters report, the company is struggling to source some of the raw materials for the vaccine.

Earlier this year, the EU was planning to a sign a deal for at least 100 million doses of Novavax's vaccine, with an option to buy another 100 million doses. The Reuters report suggests that a EU official involved in the deal said that Novavax was delaying signing a deal for weeks, citing legal issues in meetings.

Earlier this month, Novavax announced  positive Phase 3 results from its U.K. trial of a vaccine candidate against COVID-19. The vaccine candidate had a final efficacy of 86.3% against the U.K. variant of COVID-19.

The vaccine candidate had 96.4% efficacy against the original COVID-19.

AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) shares fell roughly 25.5% over the last 30 days, declining from $0.1881 on October 2 to $0.1401 on October 30. The pullback extended a longer downtrend that has kept the stock trading well below the $1.00 NYSE American minimum, keeping continued listing-compliance risk in focus.
The $1.14 central target is not an analyst consensus; it is the all-cash merger consideration in GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) 's pending deal with Starman Optical, agreed in September 2026. With the stock trading near $0.88, reaching $1.14 would require a move of roughly 29.5%.
The central target of $1,620 is the arithmetic mean of verified, current analyst price targets, rounded to a clean level; it is not a single firm's forecast or a guarantee. At a recent price of about $690 , reaching $1,620 would require a gain of roughly 135% , a very large move by any standard.
