Novavax Inc. (NVAX) has seen a significant boost in its stock price, surging by 24% following a $175 million milestone payment from Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) and successful cost reduction strategies. The milestone payment, received after the U.S. approval of Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid, has significantly contributed to the company's financial health.The company reported second-quarter revenue of $239 million, which was driven largely by the FDA's approval of the Biologics License Application (BLA) for Nuvaxovid. This approval triggered the milestone payment, which was received in the third quarter. Additionally, Novavax has enhanced its partnerships, including an updated agreement with Takeda and progress in the rollout of the R21 Matrix-M malaria vaccine.

The company has projected adjusted total revenue for 2025 to be between $1 billion and $1.05 billion. This projection reflects confidence in the company's ongoing partnerships and product pipeline.
