- Repatha growth, strong free cash flow, and AI efficiency support margin expansion.[1]
What critics are saying
- Prolia's declining sales expose Amgen to erosion in its mature osteoporosis franchise.
- MariTide still faces Phase 3, manufacturing, and tolerability execution risk before launch.

Company News
Amgen's lung cancer drug tarlatamab has received approval from China's National Medical Products Administration, according to its development partner BeOne Medicines. The drug is a targeted immunotherapy for adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has progressed despite chemotherapy. Sold as Imdelltra in the US, tarlatamab is a bispecific antibody designed to connect cancer cells with immune cells, enabling the body's immune system to destroy the cancer. Neither Amgen nor Hong Kong-listed BeOne provided details on launch date or pricing for the Chinese market. Wall Street analysts estimate tarlatamab could generate annual sales exceeding $2 billion for Amgen.
Amgen faces fresh safety concerns after the FDA warned of severe liver injuries, including vanishing bile duct syndrome, linked to Tavneos (avacopan) in late March 2026. The development adds regulatory risk to the company's investment profile. Separately, Zai Lab announced a global collaboration with Amgen to test its DLL3-targeting ADC alongside Amgen's IMDELLTRA in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, underscoring the company's ongoing oncology expansion through external partnerships. Amgen's narrative projects $37.4 billion revenue and $8.2 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 2.3% yearly revenue growth. However, pessimistic analysts model revenues slipping to $34.4 billion with earnings near $5.2 billion, reflecting concerns around pricing pressure, biosimilar competition and rising research and development spend alongside the new safety issues.
Amgen, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, has seen its shares rise 24% since Jim Cramer discussed the stock on Mad Money in June 2025. The company is currently developing the weight loss drug MariTide. Amgen's shares jumped 7.5% in November 2025 after posting third-quarter results that beat analyst expectations, with $9.6 billion in revenue and $5.64 earnings per share against forecasts of $8.98 billion and $5.04 respectively. In February 2026, shares rose 8% following fourth-quarter earnings that also exceeded estimates. Cramer expressed cautious optimism about the biotech company, noting its mid-single-digit earnings growth and potential upside from its GLP-1 drug development. Whilst calling Eli Lilly his preferred GLP-1 play, Cramer said investors "could do a lot worse than Amgen" for a bargain option.
Wells Fargo has raised its price target on Amgen to $390 from $375, maintaining an Equal Weight rating. The firm cited emerging therapies including CD20, BAFF/APRIL and next-generation complement inhibitors as potential drivers that could expand the generalized myasthenia gravis market threefold over the next decade, potentially reaching $15 billion in US sales and $20 billion globally by 2036. Separately, Jefferies initiated coverage on Amgen with a Hold rating and $350 price target on 10 March, noting the stock has gained approximately 35% over the past six months. Last month, Amgen reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $5.29, beating the $4.76 consensus estimate, on revenue of $9.9 billion versus $9.45 billion expected.
Amgen has announced a $2.52 per-share second-quarter dividend and joined the government-run TrumpRx platform to offer discounted drugs including Amjevita, Aimovig and Repatha. The company is also preparing for its 11 March presentation at the Leerink Global Healthcare Conference in Miami. The moves come alongside double-digit revenue and earnings per share growth in 2025 and advances in obesity and oncology programmes. However, the TrumpRx discounting could pressure net pricing as Amgen invests heavily in late-stage trials and manufacturing expansion. Amgen's narrative projects $37.4 billion revenue and $8.2 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 2.3% yearly revenue growth. Some analysts see a tougher outlook, with revenue potentially drifting towards $34.4 billion and earnings around $5.2 billion.
