The investment firm reported that it anticipates potential upside to consensus revenue estimates for the company in both 2026 and 2027.
According to analysts from Piper Sandler, this positive revenue outlook is heavily driven by growth in the rare disease segment, particularly the drug Uplizna, rather than Amgen's core commercial products.
The firm also identified Tepezza as a prospective long-term growth driver after the treatment demonstrated strong Phase III results for its subcutaneous formulation.
