Valneva ( (VALN) ) has provided an announcement.

On October 6, 2025, Valneva SE announced a new $500 million non-dilutive financing agreement with Pharmakon Advisors, LP, which includes an initial tranche of $215 million to refinance existing debt. This agreement enhances Valneva’s financial flexibility by lowering the cost of capital and extending repayment terms, allowing the company to focus on advancing its vaccine pipeline, including the Lyme disease candidate VLA15. Additionally, Valneva adjusted its 2025 financial guidance due to the FDA’s suspension of the IXCHIQ® product license, expecting lower product sales and total revenues. The company remains on track with its Phase 3 clinical trial for the Lyme disease vaccine, with outcomes expected in the first half of 2026 and potential commercialization by Pfizer in 2027.

The most recent analyst rating on (VALN) stock is a Buy with a $18.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Valneva stock, see the VALN Stock Forecast page.
