Market Focus
Jul 17

On July 17, Amgen rose 3.07% overnight, trading at $383.0 per share, with turnover of $1.0106 million. The rally was driven by a wave of investment bank target price upgrades combined with broad strength across the biopharma sector.

On the news front, UBS raised its price target on Amgen from $400 to $420 while maintaining a Buy rating. Bank of America Securities lifted its target from $307 to $312, and Truist Securities raised its target from $327 to $340. Morgan Stanley noted that biopharma sector performance in the second half is expected to be driven more by company fundamentals rather than macroeconomic factors. Additionally, RBC previously highlighted Amgen's well-diversified business with no single product driving over 10% of top-line revenue, no upcoming existential loss of exclusivity, and an emerging pipeline supporting an incrementally positive outlook.

Within the Biotechnology sector, peers also posted gains, with AbbVie up 0.62%, Gilead Sciences up 1.22%, Vertex Pharmaceuticals up 0.79%, and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals up 0.99%, reflecting broad sector momentum.
