The biotech giant Biogen (BIIB) continues to draw attention within the investment community. Notably, Biogen saw its 'LEQEMBI®' (Lecanemab), a vital Alzheimer's Disease treatment, receive official launch in South Korea and China along with approval in Israel and Great Britain. This, however, was coupled with a setback as European regulators rejected the same drug. Biogen's recent financial performance showed them beating earnings and revenue estimates, raising profit guidance, and also demonstrating progress in turnaround efforts, despite the stock price seriously dipping in the past few years. Additional factors steering investor sentiment include an objective to realign resources for their Alzheimer’s Disease Franchise, and strategic collaborations with companies like Fujirebio and Beckman Coulter.
Significant achievements were made in terms of acquisitions too - case in point, Biogen completed the takeover of Human Immunology Biosciences to expand its late-stage pipeline and immunology portfolio. Moreover, developments in other treatments such as for Friedreich’s Ataxia, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Essential Tremor further added to Biogen's portfolio.
A section of investors, however, remain skeptical about Biogen's future growth, mainly due to weak fundamentals and projections for flat revenue until 2026.
