BioNTech’s first-quarter 2022 sales and earnings more than tripled due to demand for the COVID-19 vaccine the company developed with Pfizer, but the German biotech firm is still forecasting a full-year decline in vaccine sales.

Cigna Corp. raised the health insurer’s annual adjusted profit forecast on May 6, following a decline in COVID-related costs and no sign of pent-up demand for medical procedures that were delayed due to the pandemic.

Moderna

Moderna Inc. on May 4 forecast higher vaccine sales for the second half of 2022 than in the first six months of the year, as the company expects the virus that causes COVID-19 to follow a more seasonal pattern requiring booster shots in the fall.

Pfizer

Pfizer Inc. maintained sales forecasts for the company’s pandemic products on May 3 after a series of hikes to revenue projections for its COVID-19 vaccine in 2021, in a sign that dizzying growth has slowed.

AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine still has market potential despite an expected global oversupply of shots and delays in the vaccine’s approval in the United States, the company’s chief executive Pascal Soriot said on April 29.

Sanofi

Sanofi reported a series of first-quarter 2022 wins, driven mostly by the success of consumer healthcare (CHC) and the company’s blockbuster Dupixent.

Roche’s first-quarter 2022 sales rose 10 percent on strong U.S. demand for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests and specialty drugs but the Swiss drugmaker reaffirmed that a drop in pandemic-related demand would put the brakes on growth.

Johnson & Johnson rescinded the company’s forecast for sales of its COVID-19 vaccine, as hesitancy in low income countries has led to a glut of supply of a shot once hoped to be the inoculation of choice for the developing world.

Moderna Inc. on March 24 raised the company’s full-year forecast for sales of its COVID-19 vaccine to roughly $21 billion from $19 billion.
