Company Report

Amgen's Portfolio Supports a Wide Moat, and Horizon Acquisition Supports Rare Disease Expansion

Amgen has its roots in providing supportive-care products to kidney disease and cancer patients, but the firm has expanded its portfolio to include innovative drugs in therapeutic areas ranging from cardiology to immunology. Despite headwinds from biosimilar and branded competition, Amgen's newer blockbusters like cholesterol-lowering drug Repatha defend its wide moat and keep free cash flow above 30% of sales in our forecast.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Amgen's pipeline had been stale since the launch of Prolia/Xgeva, but cholesterol drug Repatha and migraine drug Aimovig revived our enthusiasm for the firm's research engine, and Blincyto and Tezspire also look differentiated.

Bears

Biosimilars have been on the market in Europe since 2007 but have had a larger impact on Amgen since 2019 as U.S. exposure intensifies.
