Biotech giant Biogen (BIIB) has had a tumultuous financial period, marked by underperformance compared to competitors, a host of legal deadlines, and shrinking revenue and profit due to costs associated with the Alzheimer's drug, Aduhelm. However, the company has made strides in profitability thanks to cost-cutting measures and profit estimates beat. Additionally, promising news about the launch of the Alzheimer's drug Leqembi and approval for rare disease drug Qalsody contribute to an encouraging outlook.
The company is actively realigning resources for the Alzheimer's disease franchise and expanding its rare disease pipeline with the acquisition of HI-Bio. Unfortunately, investor confidence is shaky due to potential class action lawsuits and queries on weak fundamentals. Nevertheless, there are signs of strong long-term momentum and recent fluctuations in stock prices do not seem to deter some analysts' positive predictions.
Completion of the acquisition of Reata Pharmaceuticals has boosted Biogen's immunology portfolio. Despite doubts about the future and reduced sales expectations for certain products, there are indications of strong potential growth in non-GAAP EPS for 2024.
