What are Wall Street analysts saying about Amgen stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Amgen stock:

1. William Blair analysts commented, "We ultimately view the deal as positive for Amgen and a good fit for management’s strategy given the low-risk nature of the deal and immediate accretion." (8/30/2019)
2. Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We used a discount rate which is a function of cost of equity and cost of debt. Terminal growth rate estimates were used to derive future cash flows." (8/11/2019)
3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "While Amgen’s newer drugs — Prolia, Xgeva, Blincyto, Kyprolis — will drive sales, biosimilar and brand competition faced by its legacy drugs will create pressure on the top line in 2019. Meanwhile, uptake of key drug, Repatha has been slow due to payer restrictions. However, Amgen is progressing well with its pipeline and approval of Aimovig was a huge boost. In the past five years, Amgen has launched nine products, including two in new therapeutic areas. Amgen boasts a strong biosimilars pipeline, which could be an important long-term growth driver for the company. Amgen’s restructuring plan is making it leaner and more cost efficient. Lower taxes and share buybacks should provide some support to the bottom line. Amgen’s shares have underperformed the industry this year so far. Estimates have declined lightly ahead of the Q1 earnings release. Amgen has a positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters." (4/15/2019)
4. Mizuho analysts commented, "We think the peak sales potential of Vascepa is underappreciated. Therefore, upward earnings revisions to levels not reflected in FactSet consensus expectations should drive AMRN shares higher. Valuation Summary We continue to use a blend of DCF and multiples (EV/EBITDA) analysis to get to our 12-month price target of $35." (4/12/2019)
