Meet the New Nasdaq-100 Stock That’s Crushing Nvidia, Micron, and Sandisk. Is It Too Late to Buy?

Moderna stock has surged over 600% in 2026, outperforming major AI stocks like Nvidia, Micron, and Sandisk, driven by progress in its oncology pipeline, particularly its personalized cancer vaccine candidate intismeran autogene. The stock now trades 61% above Wall Street's average price target of $122, and while the company shows promise as it transforms from a coronavirus vaccine company into a broader biotech player, the analyst recommends waiting for a pullback before buying.
