What it does

Plain-English summary of the business — what they sell and how they make money.

Vaxcyte, Inc. is a biotechnology firm in the clinical development stage, dedicated to creating innovative protein-based vaccines. Its primary objective is to either prevent or manage bacterial infectious diseases. The company's leading vaccine candidate is VAX-24, an experimental 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine currently undergoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials, intended to address invasive pneumococcal disease and pneumonia. Beyond its flagship candidate, Vaxcyte is also advancing several other vaccine programs: VAX-XP, designed to offer protection against emergent bacterial strains and counter antimicrobial resistance; VAX-A1, a conjugate vaccine formulation aimed at Group A Streptococcus; and VAX-PG, a novel protein vaccine specifically developed to target the key pathogen responsible for periodontitis. The organization, which was initially established as SutroVax, Inc., officially rebranded as Vaxcyte, Inc. in May 2020. Founded in 2013, its corporate headquarters are situated in San Carlos, California.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
-9.7How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
-40.6%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
0.0%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
-11.3%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
0.0Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
-37.6%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
0.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.0Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
