Moderna shares surged 95% after its intismeran vaccine met primary goals in Phase 3 testing for preventing cancer in melanoma patients, while partner Merck rose 7%. Target reported beats on both top and bottom lines with earnings of $2.46 per share on revenues of $26.54 billion, but shares fell 1% despite raised guidance. Lowe's posted mixed results with earnings of $4.40 per share beating estimates while revenues of $25.96 billion missed, and TJX Companies outperformed with earnings of $1.22 per share but fell 3.3% on a weaker outlook. Estee Lauder shares jumped 12% after fiscal Q4 earnings of $0.39 per share beat the $0.32 anticipated on revenues of $3.63 billion.
