I think this IPO tomorrow on Friday could be hot: CureVac (CVAC.O) The company develops a vaccine against the Corona virus. More info: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/german-covid-19-vaccine-developer-105822370.html Even Trump was very interested in this company --> cf. news of some months ago.
It will be listed at the NASDAQ and the ticker will be "CVAC", according to this news: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/curevac-announces-proposed-initial-public-111000414.html Yahoo Finance has already a page for CVAC: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CVAC
Of course they will go up. Especially if they are backed by Billy boy Gates. And when some other company beats them to the punch on the vaccine, they will plummet as fast as they rose.
You do realize there probably will be multiple vaccines by different companies? Even for polio, way back when there were two different types, both getting FDA approvals (including the joint venture USSR/USA one).
Not really, you patent a specific product not an idea of a product. Unlike a specific chemical drug (e.g. viagra), vaccines have a lot of details - type of vaccine (live/killed/recombinant etc), delivery mechanisms, dosing etc.
