Shares of vaccine developer Vaxcyte Inc PCVX.O fall 3% to $36.69

Brokerage Leerink cuts PCVX's PT to $65 from $153

PCVX said on Monday its experimental pneumococcal vaccine for infants, VAX-24, achieved "non-inferiority" in a mid-stage study compared to rival Pfizer's PFE.N Prevnar 20 shot

Although we believe that VAX-24 is a safe and approvable vaccine, we now have less confidence that both VAX-24 & VAX-31 will deliver highly compelling efficacy in future infant datasets - brokerage

Leerink notes that the infant results do not affect its high expectations for VAX-31 in adults

PCVX shares have faced significant pressure due to investor concerns about U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s stance on vaccines, Leerink says

Up to last close, PCVX was down ~54% YTD
