Don't know about anyone else but the timeline of all of this from the Valneva side is suss:
1. EU cancels the bulk covid vaccine deal deal but Valneva says they will talk to individual member states to organize separate deals and are proceeding with EU approval....so still hope for retail investors to get some money out of their covid vaccine plays.
2. Only a couple weeks later, Valneva makes it public that not enough member states want to buy their covid vaccine and it looks like they will have to trash the whole program! I mean who makes that kind of info public so quickly? Share price halves as a result.
3. Just ONE week later Pfizer announces the equity investment and shares double pre market back to where they were pre covid deal cancellation.
Obviously Pfizer were in talks with Valneva about this equity investment for a number of months and the decision to buy was likely confirmed with Valneva weeks ago. So Valneva management almost certainly knew Pfizer were going to pull the trigger on this before they made their surprising announcement that nobody wanted to buy their vaccine (this is not something a company would normally announce so quickly without covering every possible solution open to them as they would know it would halve their value overnight).
You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to entertain the notion that Valneva management could have released that info earlier than usual to intentionally lower share prior to the Pfizer buy in. I guess retail gets screwed once again.

I’m not so sure this is a good investment. Sounds more like a lifeline — “Pfizer's deal gives Valneva a cash injection to take its Lyme disease candidate, VLA15, closer to market, and calls for the French company to shoulder 40% of development costs, up from 30% under a previous agreement.”
