Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Q2 2026 revenue rose 10% to $10.1 billion, and guidance increased to $39.4 billion.
  • Imdelltra sales jumped 219% year over year in Q1 2026, signaling rapid launch traction.
  • Repatha sales rose 37% in Q2 2026, driven by expanding cardiology and primary-care adoption.

What critics are saying

  • Prolia and Enbrel face accelerating biosimilar erosion; Amgen expects continued sales declines through 2026.
  • Three distributors generated 77% of gross revenue in 2026, concentrating pricing leverage brutally.
  • MariTide failure would crater obesity optionality and expose Amgen's growth to aging franchises.

What makes Amgen unique

  • September 2026 Imdelltra-IMFINZI phase III hit overall survival in first-line ES-SCLC.
  • August 2026 Repatha reduced death risk in high-risk patients, strengthening Amgen's cardiovascular moat.
  • MariTide's monthly-or-less dosing and nine Phase III studies separate it from weekly GLP-1s.

Amgen invests $2.6B in manufacturing for MariTide obesity drug ahead of Phase III results

Amgen is testing MariTide, an experimental obesity drug designed to be dosed monthly or less frequently. The therapy has advanced into late-stage Phase III trials, with nine studies currently running and three more planned. Executives reported strong enrolment during the company's second-quarter 2026 earnings call on 4 August 2026. Amgen expects capital spending of about $2.6 billion in 2026, partly to scale manufacturing capacity for MariTide's eventual launch. The company is investing across its US manufacturing sites in North Carolina, Ohio, and Puerto Rico. Amgen stock has returned 44% over the past twelve months, outpacing the S&P 500's 17.1% gain. The company reported $38.1 billion in revenue over the last twelve months, up from $34.9 billion a year earlier.

Amgen lifts dividend 6%, but eroding Prolia and Enbrel sales shift focus to MariTide Phase 3

Amgen raised its quarterly dividend 6% to $2.52 per share, marking its 14th consecutive annual increase since starting payouts in 2011. The biotech now pays $10.08 annually, yielding 2.36% at current share prices of $418.13. The dividend appears well covered. Amgen generated $8.1 billion in free cash flow in 2025 against $5.1 billion in dividend payments. Second quarter 2026 free cash flow reached $3.5 billion whilst dividends consumed $1.4 billion. However, biosimilar competition is eroding legacy revenue. Prolia and XGEVA sales dropped 33% whilst Enbrel fell 37%. The company carries $57 billion in debt. Future dividend growth may hinge on Phase 3 results for MariTide, Amgen's obesity candidate. The company follows a steady raise pattern similar to Johnson & Johnson, contrasting with Pfizer's post-COVID payout struggles.

Vertex and Amgen deliver promising pipeline updates as both outperform market

Vertex Pharmaceuticals reported strong second-quarter results, with revenue rising 12% year-over-year to $3.33 billion and earnings per share climbing 8% to $4.31. The company posted positive Phase 2b results for inaxaplin, an experimental treatment for APOL1-mediated kidney disease, showing it reduced proteinuria in patients with modest protein levels and those with type 2 diabetes. Vertex expects approval for povetacicept, a treatment for IgA nephropathy, by November. The company continues diversifying beyond its core cystic fibrosis franchise, which provides predictable revenue as patients require lifelong treatment. Meanwhile, Amgen has also outperformed the broader market this year, though specific recent developments were not detailed in the source material.

Revolution Medicines' first pancreatic cancer therapy approval challenges Amgen's biotech dominance

Revolution Medicines received FDA approval for daraxonrasib, the first targeted therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer, after clinical data showed it reduced death risk by more than half. The company is clinical-stage with no current revenue and posted a $1.1 billion net loss in FY 2025. Amgen reported FY 2025 revenue of $36.7 billion, up 9.9% year-over-year, with net income of $7.7 billion and a 21% net margin. Free cash flow reached $8.1 billion. The company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 6.3x. Revolution Medicines maintains a 0.1x debt-to-equity ratio and 9.5x current ratio but recorded negative free cash flow of $913.7 million. The company's pipeline targets RAS-driven tumours including lung cancer. A partnership with Royalty Pharma provides funding for development. Both companies face distinct risks: Amgen confronts pricing pressures and biosimilar competition, whilst Revolution Medicines carries clinical trial failure risks and competes against larger pharmaceutical firms.

Amgen vs CRISPR Therapeutics: Which healthcare stock offers better value in 2026?

Amgen reported revenue of $36.7 billion in FY 2025, up 9.9% year-over-year, with net income of $7.7 billion and a 21% net margin. The biotech giant maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 6.3x and generated $8.1 billion in free cash flow. CRISPR Therapeutics, meanwhile, saw revenue fall 90% to $3.5 million in FY 2025, posting a net loss of $581.6 million. The gene-editing firm burns $345.9 million in cash but holds a strong current ratio of 13.3x. Its CASGEVY therapy for sickle cell disease has gained approval in the US, UK, and EU, with Vertex handling commercialisation under a 60-40 revenue split. Amgen faces pricing pressure from the Inflation Reduction Act and biosimilar competition. CRISPR Therapeutics carries clinical execution risk and ongoing intellectual property disputes.
