What are Wall Street analysts saying about Amgen stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Amgen stock:
- 1. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We visited Amgen’s headquarters in conjunction with our post ASH bus tour and met the company’s CFO, R&D head, and IR team. We highlight key takeaways in this note. Management continues to sound very bullish about the Aimovig launch even as competitors launch. We could expect a decision on the Sandoz case around the mediation in Jan. We would expect 2019 guidance range to be as wide or a bit wider than 2018 due to biosimilars. From speaking to management, we think the biggest moving piece is Neulasta experiencing now two biosimilar competitors. When looking at analogs, the company notes drug lost about 50% share, but Amgen has the OnPro device, which may allow it to slow the rate of branded loss. Sensipar ($1.7B ’18 Bloomberg consensus) is a moving piece since generics have not launched at risk." (12/4/2018)
- 2. Mizuho analysts commented, ". After speaking with two physicians who treat between 50-100 patients per month for cellulite to discuss the market opportunity for ENDP’s CCH, we are increasingly more positive on the market opportunity for this product, if approved. We are still maintaining our Neutral rating because we think the risk reward for ENDP’s existing business and new opportunities is already accurately reflected in its stock price. Better-than-expected Phase 3 data for CCH, a pick up in ENDP’s generics business and/or lower-than-expected calls on ENDP’s cash (debt, testosterone) would make us more positive on the stock. Please contact your Cantor Fitzgerald representative for a replay of the call." (10/26/2018)
- 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Amgen’s newer drugs – Prolia, Xgeva, Blincyto, Repatha, Kyprolis – are performing well. Amgen is also progressing with its pipeline and the recent approval of migraine candidate, Aimovig was a huge boost. Amgen’s restructuring plan is making it leaner and more cost efficient. Lower taxes and share buybacks should provide some bottom-line support. Amgen’s shares have outperformed the industry this year so far. However, Amgen has some challenges in store, given the slowdown in sales of mature drugs like Enbrel, Aranesp and Neulasta, which are facing an array of branded and generic competitors. Volume growth of new drugs may not be enough to offset lost sales due to the decline in mature brands. While Neupogen is already facing U.S. biosimilar competition, Neulasta, Epogen and Sensipar could start facing the same this year. Meanwhile, uptake of key new drug, Repatha has been slow due to payer restrictions." (10/1/2018)
- 4. JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts commented, "AMGN’s top-line continues to be uninspiring, but the bottom line will meaningfully benefit from a lower than expected tax rate (surprise, surprise) and a large, accelerated $10B share buyback. There are several moving pieces to consider heading into 2018 (which are apparent in management’s uncharacteristically wide guidance range), including timing/magnitude of legacy franchise erosion (e.g., Neulasta & Sensipar), trajectory of recent/upcoming launches (e.g., Kyprolis, Repatha, Aimovig), and the extent to which AMGN chooses to exercise its upsized share repurchase authorization (now ~$14B in total). While we continue to be keenly interested in potential for M&A (which AMGN continues to be constructive on) and the earlier stage pipeline, we maintain our Neutral rating pending evidence of sustainable near-/mid-term growth."
