Biogen has had a significant impact on the biotech market recently, as indicated by the developments and highlights in the sector. Notably, the company has reported its first quarter 2025 results, showing a boost from new products that helped to increase revenue. Despite higher revenues, the quarter saw an adjusted profit drop.
Even so, the Q1 earnings did not meet estimates, contributing to several financial institutions like Canaccord, RBC Capital, and Oppenheimer lowering their price target. Additionally, the company downgraded its profit outlook after a deal for an epilepsy drug. On a positive note, the company still maintains an outperforming rating despite a lowered price target.
On the product side, Biogen is making progress in the field of neurological treatments. The company has completed enrollment for a Parkinson's treatment study and its Tau-targeting therapy for Alzheimer's has received FDA fast track designation.
With 90% of the company owned by institutional shareholders, several businesses, including Schonfeld Strategic Advisors and Syon Capital, have been increasing their stakes in Biogen, indicating a bullish outlook on the company's future.
