Novavax (NVAX) Profit Jumps on Milestone

(NASDAQ:NVAX), known for its protein-based vaccine technology, released its second quarter fiscal 2025 results on August 6, 2025.

Revenue (GAAP) reached $239 million, ahead of analyst expectations of $152.61 million, while diluted earnings per share (GAAP) came in at $0.62, well above the expected loss of $0.04. While the company beat expectations decisively, its business model is in transition, with product sales falling sharply and partnership revenues comprising the bulk of results this period.
