Description: BIIB Biogen December 19, 2025
Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB) is a global biotech firm that discovers, develops, manufactures, and commercializes therapies for neurological and neuro-degenerative diseases, with a footprint across the United States, Europe, Asia and other regions.
Its core marketed portfolio includes multiple-sclerosis drugs (Tecfidera, Vumerity, Avonex, Plegridy, Tysabri), the SMA treatment Spinraza, the Friedreich’s ataxia candidate Skyclarys, ALS therapy Qalsody, and a suite of biosimilars (Benepali, Imraldi, Flixabi, Byooviz, Tofidence). In oncology, Biogen sells Rituxan, Rituxan Hycela, Gazyva, Ocrevus, and emerging anti-CD20 agents such as glofitamab.
Beyond current products, the company is advancing pipelines in MS, Alzheimer’s disease (notably lecanemab, which generated $1.1 billion in 2023 U.S. sales), Parkinson’s disease, and other neuro-psychiatric indications, while expanding its biosimilar franchise.
Key financial metrics (FY 2023): revenue $10.6 billion, R&D spend ≈ 22 % of revenue, and a diluted EPS of $3.21. In Q2 2024, Tecfidera net sales fell 12 % YoY, reflecting competitive pressure and the rollout of generic alternatives.
Sector drivers that materially affect Biogen’s outlook include the aging global population (projected to increase the prevalence of neuro-degenerative disorders by ~30 % over the next decade) and U.S. Medicare reimbursement reforms that tighten pricing for high-cost biologics.
For a data-rich, analyst-level deep-dive on Biogen’s valuation sensitivities, the ValueRay platform offers a transparent, model-backed view worth exploring.
