Under normal circumstances, the Sub-Adviser invests substantially all of the Funds assets in equity securities of companies that the Sub-Adviser believes are capable of future growth due to low marginal cost business models. The Sub-Adviser considers a company to have a low marginal cost business model if the company can deliver a greater amount of its goods or services without materially increasing the companys costs. Such cost structures, in the Sub-Advisers view, yield greater profits, which can then be used to accelerate growth in existing markets and exploit growth in new markets.

On Thursday, Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) reported third-quarter revenue of $1.83 billion, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41808252/moderna-q3-revenue-beats-on-updated-covid-19-vaccine-slashes-expenses-for-2024">consensus of $1.25 billion</a>.
The company attributed the growth to higher sales in the U.S. market following the earlier launch of the updated COVID-19 vaccine.
BofA Securities notes that Moderna&#8217;s stock rose early Thursday but ended the day lower, likely due to slowing vaccine trends and uncertainty around the company&#8217;s respiratory vaccine lineup, as well as new concerns related to Trump and Kennedy&#8217;s positions on vaccines.
The analyst has reduced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRNA/analyst-ratings">price target from $110 to $90</a>, adjusting for a higher discount rate (9% instead of 7%) based on updated commercial risk expectations, lower sales forecasts for COVID-19 and RSV vaccines, and reduced net cash. The analyst maintained a Neutral rating on Moderna.

Leerink Partners notes the earnings update didn&#8217;t improve the negative outlook for COVID and RSV, and the revenue beat, driven by excess inventory, pointed to weak earnings quality.
The company faces challenges from declining COVID demand and losing market share to Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>), which could affect Moderna's ability to clear excess inventory and raise concerns about potential write-downs in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Leerink has lowered the price target from $46 to $38, with an Underperform rating.
Oppenheimer remains optimistic about the long-term potential of Moderna's RSV vaccine, mRESVIA growth. &#8220;We think MRNA is well-positioned to extend the mRESVIA label into high-risk adults 18-59, filing an sBLA with PRV by YE24,&#8221; the analyst writes, and maintains the Perform rating.
The analyst notes mRESVIA launch will take longer than expected but still considers it an undervalued asset, particularly with its upcoming label extension.
The analyst also adds, &#8220;We are impressed by MRNA&#8217;s progress toward opex optimization and believe such efficiency could invite a larger upside for its upcoming pipeline launches.&#8221;
The company expects the cost of sales to be 40-45% of product sales for the year (previously 40-50%), with R&amp;D expenses anticipated to be $4.6 billion—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">$4.7 billion (previously $4.8 billion).</a>

Speculation has arisen regarding Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), potentially serving as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41785767/bitcoins-future-under-president-elect-donald-trump-a-look-at-his-crypto-policies">cryptocurrency policy advisor</a> in the administration of president Donald Trump.
What Happened: This speculation comes on the heels of recent posts and statements from various figures within the crypto community, hinting at a possible alignment of interests between Hoskinson and the Trump campaign, particularly with Trump&#8217;s recent ventures into the cryptocurrency space.
The buzz started when Rick McCracken, a notable figure in the Cardano community, expressed <a href="https://x.com/TamaraHaasen/status/1854865475194294383">hope</a> on X (formerly Twitter) that the Trump-Vance administration might consider Hoskinson for such a role.
This suggestion was not made in a vacuum; Hoskinson has previously <a href="https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1780726997020508562">endorsed</a> Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has since joined Trump&#8217;s team, indicating a potential pathway for dialogue or collaboration.
Hoskinson, known for his vocal criticism of the current administration&#8217;s crypto policies, has often highlighted the lack of regulatory clarity and what he perceives as an adversarial stance against the crypto industry. 
His endorsement of RFK Jr. was seen as a move towards supporting candidates who promise a change in policy direction, focusing on healing national divisions and promoting economic freedom through decentralized technologies.
The crypto community&#8217;s interest in Hoskinson&#8217;s potential advisory role stems from his deep involvement in blockchain technology and his advocacy for a regulatory environment that fosters innovation rather than stifling it. 
His insights could be pivotal, especially given Trump&#8217;s family&#8217;s recent forays into decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, signaling a more crypto-friendly stance from the former president.
However, the path to such an appointment isn&#8217;t without hurdles.
Hoskinson&#8217;s criticisms of both major political parties for their handling of crypto regulations suggest that any advisory role would come with the expectation of pushing for significant policy reforms.
This could mean navigating the complex political landscape where crypto regulations are concerned, balancing between innovation and security.

The discussion emerges as Cardano&#8217;s native token ADA has reclaimed its position as the ninth-largest cryptocurrency overall, and the seventh-largest when excluding stablecoins like Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>). 
The token has shown significant momentum, up 13% over the past 24 hours and 30% over the past 30 days, breaking above key technical resistance levels that have been closely watched by market analysts, <a href="https://x.com/cryptorecruitr/status/1854902966550942065">according</a> to a crypto analyst.
Technical analysis of ADA&#8217;s current movement shows parallels to previous market cycles, particularly in relation to Bitcoin halving events. 
Market data indicates ADA is currently trading approximately 201 days after the latest Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) halving, comparable to a similar breakout pattern observed in the previous cycle at 193 days post-halving.
The asset has demonstrated a notable separation from its 20-day moving average, currently showing a 14% divergence. 
Key resistance levels are identified at $0.47, aligned with the 50-week moving average, while analysts have outlined potential targets extending to $0.60-0.70 based on current pattern formations.
The timing of these speculations couldn&#8217;t be more intriguing, especially with the upcoming Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19. 
This event could serve as a platform for further discussions or announcements regarding the intersection of cryptocurrency and U.S. policy, potentially shedding light on how figures like Hoskinson might influence or be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41823388/the-trump-effect-a-deep-dive-into-how-the-crypto-landscape-will-change-in-2025-and-beyond">influenced by political decisions.</a>
