Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) hasn't even been publicly traded for two years, but shares have risen by leaps and bounds since the company held its initial public offering (IPO) on Dec. 7, 2018, when the stock was priced at just $23. Today, you can purchase one share of Moderna for roughly $68.
With the media frenzy surrounding Moderna as a leader in the coronavirus vaccine race, you're not alone if you're considering scooping up this biotech stock. One way to assess the viability of a potential investment is to look at the stock's past and future growth story. For example, if you'd invested $10,000 in Moderna's IPO, you might be blown at away at how much money you'd have sitting in your portfolio today.
