Vaxart Inc (VXRT)

[AgeOfReason]

I think the big move up on the 27th has to do with the press release issued on April 26, 2021 at 8:00 AM EDT, called "Vaxart to Host a Key Opinion Leader Webinar on the Importance of T-Cell Responses for COVID-19 Vaccines". It says in part: "Vaxart to provide new data from its Phase I COVID-19 trial ... it will host a webinar on the importance of T-cell responses for COVID-19 vaccines on Monday, May 3, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. ... Vaxart's management will provide new data comparing the T-cell responses generated from its VXA-CoV2-1 vaccine with those of other vaccines. The Company will also present new mucosal antibody data and review the recent Phase I clinical results that suggest VXA-CoV2-1 is potentially protective against new and emerging COVID-19 strains." See https://investors.vaxart.com/news-releases/news-release-details/vaxart-host-key-opinion-leader-webinar-importance-t-cell for the full press release.

See also the article (from after hours on the 27th) called " VXRT Stock: The Big Vaccine News Sending Vaxart Soaring Today - VXRT stock is rocketing upward today as it announces a coming presentation of its newest trial data". That article says in part:

"Investors are becoming bullish as they expect promising data from the company when comparing T-cell therapy to other vaccines. They expect to hear from Vaxart that the particular therapy is potentially effective at proactively targeting emerging strains of Covid-19.

The announcement is driving huge movement of VXRT stock today."

I think the press release is a good sign of progress by Vaxart.
