What are Wall Street analysts saying about Amgen stock?

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

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "In 2020, while Amgen’s growth products like Prolia, Evenity, Repatha, Aimovig, Otezla and biosimilars will drive sales, increasing competition for its legacy products will continue to hurt the same. Amgen boasts a strong biosimilars portfolio. It is also progressing with its pipeline while regularly pursuing “external opportunities” such as the acquisition of Otezla and the recently acquired stake in China's BeiGene. Amgen also expects several important clinical data readouts from its innovative pipeline in 2020. However, pricing and competitive pressure are concerns. Amgen’s shares have outperformed the industry in the past one year. Estimates have gone down ahead of Q1 results due to uncertainty about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on results. Amgen has a positive record of earnings surprise in recent quarters." (4/15/2020)
2. 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)
3. 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)
