Biogen (BIIB) has made multiple headline-worthy moves in the biotech market. Notably, FDA has approved LEQEMBI, a drug for treating early-stage Alzheimer's. Though the company has tried to acquire Sage Therapeutics through a $469 million proposal, Sage dismissed the offer, proclaiming it undervalued. Despite facing a setback for its Alzheimer's drug in European regions requiring additional safety analysis, the FDA has approved monthly maintenance dosing for the same.
A significant executive shuffle has also occurred with Tim Power appointed as Head of Investor Relations. Other notable events include the initiation of a Phase 3 study for a lupus treatment, subsequent rejections of a takeover bid by Sage, UCB, and Biogen, who declared positive top-level results for the systemic lupus erythematosus treatment.
Questions regarding Biogen's value have been raised and discussions have highlighted it as a potentially underappreciated stock. Alzheimer's breakthrough drug approval in Israel and China signifies international strides in Alzheimer's treatment, while an unsuccessful bid to take over Sage indicates that strategic growth though acquisitions are on Biogen's agenda.
