The stock is almost 1.5% of XBI’s weight.

Novavax NVAX.q has six drugs currently in trial, a $7 price target from Piper Jaffray and a consensus target of $10,  Wall Street. Split the difference and call that $8.50 and Novavax could offer about 60% upside from Thursday’s close of $5.18. Novavax accounts for almost 1.9% of XBI’s weight.
