Emergent BioSolutions is showing signs of a potential turnaround with strategic restructuring, cost-cutting, and securing significant contracts in public health preparedness.

Emergent's involvement in global health crises, like mpox, and securing FDA approvals and contracts, positions it as a key player in biodefense.
On Wednesday, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. EBS said it secured approximately $400 million in orders in 2024 and 2025 associated with its vaccinia, smallpox, and mpox product portfolio.
