Cramer's lightning round: I prefer Moderna stock over Novavax

Novavax: “I have to tell you even after today’s run in Moderna, I still prefer Moderna’s stock than Novavax because I think that Moderna can do a lot more with its formulation than Novavax ever can.”

Philip Morris: “It’s a very good company. I don’t recommend tobacco stocks, but it’s very well run. It makes a lot of money and it’s very good.”

Blade Air Mobility: “I think there are better ways to make money, frankly. I’m not going to recommend the stock.”

Atlassian: “I think you have to worry about its valuation because that’s why the stock is going down. I think it’s a very good company, but no company can grow as fast as it has. It’s got a $57 billion market capitalization. That’s just way too much. ... I really do like the company, but I am not a buyer.”

Exact Sciences: “I think [CEO] Kevin Conroy’s running a great company. I think he’s found a lot of different ways to be able to help people and, while the stock is down, it just happens to be one of those that’s been owned by a lot of momentum guys. I’m a buyer.”

International Game Tech: “I can’t believe this IGT continues to go higher. This is computerized gaming, but they’re really the only game in town. So I get it. I guess it can go higher still. It’s been a huge winner.”

Akebia Therapeutics: “That’s a total spec. Sir, that’s just a total spec. You can do it, it’s a dice-roll spec. That’s not the kind of thing I like, but as long as you recognize it as a spec, then be my guest.”

You’re smoking something if u sold NVAX under $150. I bought hundreds of shares and $180 calls. Easiest money I’ve ever made.

So Cramer completely discounts all upcoming catalysts for Nvax - US Ph 3 results, UK, US EUA, EU EUA, India EUA, production already started in India, ahead of the pack in covid+flu combo vaccine? Not saying Moderna stock is bad by any means but Cramer portrayed a completely inadequate and misleading picture of Novavax to the caller.

Put the last caller on suicide watch. He had a whole spiel he wanted to read and he got cut off.

Moderna? Let me give you a little fact by posing a question. Prior to Covid 19 how many drugs, vaccines, or anything had Moderna developed? Answer: Zero.

One of the best things I have done in the market is to sell all my Novax and put it in Moderna. Moderna, with messenger rna technology, is a real game changer. I think in 5 years, people will look back at Moderna and wonder why they chose to stay on the sidelines.
