Description: PCVX Vaxcyte November 05, 2025

Vaxcyte, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCVX) is a clinical-stage biotech focused on next-generation conjugate and protein vaccines against bacterial infections. Its flagship program, VAX-24, is a 24-valent, carrier-sparing pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) aimed at preventing invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in infants. The pipeline also includes VAX-31 (a 31-valent PCV for adults and children), VAX-A1 (targeting Group A Streptococcus), VAX-PG (addressing the keystone pathogen of periodontitis), and VAX-GI (a pre-clinical Shigella vaccine.

Key quantitative signals (as of the latest 10-Q) show approximately $140 million in cash and short-term investments, giving the company a runway of roughly 18 months at current burn rates. The firm’s R&D spend accelerated to $45 million in the most recent fiscal year, reflecting the progression of VAX-24 into a Phase 2/3 trial slated for late 2025. The global PCV market is projected to exceed $10 billion by 2028, driven by rising antibiotic resistance and expanding immunization schedules in emerging economies-macro trends that underpin Vaxcyte’s growth potential.

Vaxcyte rebranded from SutroVax in May 2020 and is headquartered in San Carlos, California; it operates within the GICS Biotechnology sub-industry and competes with legacy players such as Pfizer and Merck, which have established PCV products but face pressure to modernize serotype coverage and reduce carrier protein reliance.
