Moderna settles patent lawsuit for $2.25bn and reports Q4 loss

Moderna settles patent lawsuit for $2.25bn and reports Q4 loss

Moderna is paying up to $2.25bn to settle the patent lawsuit with Genevant and Arbutus regarding the LNP technology in their Covid vaccine. The deal includes $950m upfront, with another $1.3bn contingent on a separate appeal, though the company says the extra payment isn't probable. This wraps up the litigation and gives them a license for the tech. On the earnings side, they posted an $826m net loss for Q4 2025 due to declining vaccine sales. They are aiming to break even in 2028 by shifting focus to oncology and rare diseases.

Settlement clears a major legal overhang for , but the focus now shifts to whether its oncology and rare disease pipeline can offset the sharp drop in vaccine revenue.

Yeah clearing the lawsuit helps, but the real question is whether Moderna’s new pipeline can actually replace fading COVID revenue.
