Moderna stock plummets after reaching new high, should you sell?

Moderna stock was the stock of the week last week after it soared to a new high of $497 per share, a big move from its 52 weeks low of $54. Although the company has seen great success from the production of the Covid-19 vaccines, still analysts are finding a hard time seeing the value in the current share price of MRNA stock

 

Today, the stock is selling $390 per share and it may be on its way to the 3rd straight day of losses. A lot of short term call options that expire on August 13th, 2021 will probably expire worthless.
