Amgen just cleared its October 30 record with a $478.48 close, 2.68% above the prior peak and the fourth new high in barely a week. Anyone waiting for a pullback in this biotech hasn't gotten one.
Latest Activity
Biosimilars cut Prolia 45% and XGEVA 47%, yet Amgen still came in 11.55% above expectations. Management now guides full-year non-GAAP EPS of $22.90 to $23.70, the number to judge the denosumab cliff against.
The retiring Yum! Brands CEO brings three decades of global consumer scale and pricing discipline to a $242 billion drugmaker that is leaning hard on commercial execution behind obesity and oncology bets. Board additions rarely move a stock, but they signal where management wants outside pressure applied.
Amgen closed at $447.28, a new 52-week high, roughly 55% above last October's $288 level. The $241.8 billion name now sits at the top of its range.
