On Wednesday,&nbsp;Biogen Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>)&nbsp;reported fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $3.44, up 17%, beating&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $3.35</a>.
The company reported sales of $2.46 billion, up 2% year over year on constant currency and 3% on a reported basis, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43659412/biogen-warns-lower-2025-revenue-inks-rd-funding-pact-with-royalty-pharma-for-late-stage-lupus-asset" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $2.40 billion</a>.
As part of ongoing pipeline prioritization efforts, Biogen has decided to discontinue further development of BIIB113 in early Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, BIIB094 in early Parkinson&#8217;s disease, BIIB101 in multiple system atrophy, and BIIB143 (cemdomespib) in diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.
Biogen forecasts a full-year 2025 adjusted EPS of $15.25-$16.25&nbsp;versus a consensus of $16.34.

Revenue is expected to decline by a mid-single-digit percentage for 2025 compared to 2024 as further declines in multiple sclerosis product revenues are expected to be partially offset by increases in revenue from product launches.
Goldman Sachs analyst Salveen Richter notes that Biogen&#8217;s management expects to remain disciplined with regard to capital allocation, pointing to an interest in early-to-mid-stage deals in immunology, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIIB/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">rare diseases, and neurology</a>.
The analyst notes that while Goldman Sachs is mainly focused on Zurzuvae and Skyclarys, it is also watching for declines in the multiple sclerosis portfolio and Spinraza business. The main priority is how the company plans to counteract these losses through new product launches and business development.
Investors were especially concerned about the FY25 outlook compared to market expectations, particularly for Leqembi, and the company&#8217;s plans for mergers, acquisitions, and pipeline growth.
The analyst notes that for Leqembi&#8217;s rollout in early Alzheimer&#8217;s, the growth of infusion centers and more doctors prescribing it are major advantages. So far, Eli Lilly&#8217;s Kisunla has had little impact.
&#8220;We continue to watch market share vs. growth dynamics, and the extent to which the IV maintenance approval, the potential approvals of subcutaneous maintenance and induction, alongside the wider availability of blood-based biomarkers will drive launch momentum in 2025+,&#8221; Goldman Sachs analyst writes.
Price Action: BIIB stock is down 4.6% at $132.90 at last check Wednesday.

Biogen Delivers Q4 Beat, Analyst Focuses On Leqembi Expansion, 2025 Outlook

A hotter-than-expected inflation report initially rattled markets on Wednesday morning, but investors found confidence to buy the dip, helping major indexes recover most losses by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43656846/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-in-january-chills-interest-rate-cut-hopes">midday trading in New York.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 was down 0.2%, while the Nasdaq 100 was flat, both rebounding from sharp declines following the January Consumer Price Index report. Small-cap stocks underperformed, with the Russell 2000 slipping 0.8%.
The headline CPI rose 3% year over year in January, surpassing both December's 2.9% reading and economist forecasts of 2.9%. On a monthly basis, inflation increased 0.5%, outpacing expectations of 0.3% and accelerating from December's 0.4% gain. This marked the fastest monthly inflation rate since August 2023.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, climbed to 3.3% year over year from 3.2% in December. On a monthly basis, core CPI increased 0.4%, exceeding estimates of 0.3% and doubling December's 0.2% rise.
Treasuries and interest rate markets reacted sharply to the inflation data. Traders scaled back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, now projecting only one reduction by December 2025.
Treasury yields surged, reflecting heightened investor uncertainty. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 10 basis points to 4.64%. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 1%.
Despite rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, gold edged up 0.2% to $2,910 per ounce. Oil prices dropped 2% after reports that Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, fueling speculation about a potential ceasefire in Ukraine.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also rebounded from earlier session losses.

Insights From Analysts
Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macros at Fidelity Investments highlighted that strong bull markets tend to &#8220;roar back to life&#8221; after corrections.
He hinted that after the recent pull-back in the market caused by DeepSeek when just 17% of stocks were above their moving average, only 53% of stocks are now above their 50-day moving average. He termed it as a &#8220;weak recovery&#8221;.

According to the analysts at BlackRock, U.S. equities have proved resilient this year, though escalating trade tensions could keep the pressure on in the coming months.
&#8220;Resilient growth, solid corporate earnings, potential deregulation and the AI theme keep us upbeat. Q4 earnings growth has broadened as we expected, with S&amp;P 500 earnings excluding the &#8216;magnificent 7&#8217; stocks up about 5% from a year ago and the consensus eyeing a 10% rise this year, LSEG Datastream data show. We keep our tactical U.S. equity overweight yet watch for triggers for a change, such as earnings losing steam,&#8221; stated BlackRock&#8217;s weekly market note.

Biogen's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Biotech giant Biogen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter earnings on 12 February.
The Wall Street forecasts fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $3.35 and sales of $2.40 billion, while fiscal year 2024 adjusted EPS is expected to be $16.34 and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales of $9.64 billion</a>.
January 2025 had been an eventful month for Biogen. Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAGE#NASDAQ">SAGE</a>) announced that its Board of Directors initiated a process to explore strategic alternatives and rejected the unsolicited, nonbinding proposal it received from Biogen for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43232552/sage-therapeutics-board-of-directors-initiates-review-of-strategic-alternatives-and-rejects-biogen" rel="noreferrer noopener">$7.22 per share</a>.
In January, the FDA approved the Supplemental marketing application for lecanemab-irmb (Leqembi) intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing once <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43219641/fda-approves-leqembi-lecanemab-irmb-iv-maintenance-dosing-for-the-treatment-of-early-alzheimers-di" rel="noreferrer noopener">every four weeks</a>.
Leqembi is indicated for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease. After 18 months of once every two weeks initiation phase, a transition to the maintenance dosing regimen of 10 mg/kg once every four weeks may be considered or the regimen of 10 mg/kg once every two weeks may be continued.
The FDA and the European Medicines Agency accepted to review supplemental marketing applications seeking approval for a higher dose regimen of nusinersen for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
The higher dose regimen of nusinersen comprises a more rapid loading regimen, two 50 mg doses 14 days apart, and a higher maintenance regimen, 28 mg, every 4 months, compared to the approved <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43156759/fda-and-ema-accept-applications-for-higher-dose-regimen-of-nusinersen-in-sma" rel="noreferrer noopener">nusinersen regimen (Spinraza)</a>.&nbsp;
The European Commission asked the CHMP to consider information on the safety of lecanemab that became available after the adoption of the CHMP opinion in November 2024, whether this may require an update of the opinion, and whether the wording of the risk minimization measures in the opinion is clear enough to ensure correct implementation. These will be discussed at the CHMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43380334/update-on-regulatory-review-of-lecanemab-for-early-alzheimers-disease-in-the-european-union" rel="noreferrer noopener">meeting in February 2025</a>.
Investors are focused on Biogen's growth strategies. This includes expanding its pipeline, pursuing external business development, or leveraging new opportunities to counter declining revenue in the latter&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42957657/biogens-push-for-sage-therapeutics-could-strengthen-its-neurology-strategy-analysts-say" rel="noreferrer noopener">half of the decade</a>.
In December, Jefferies&nbsp;downgraded&nbsp;Biogen, citing the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42397286/biogen-downgraded-on-pipeline-setbacks-and-leqembi-sales-slowdown" rel="noreferrer noopener">company's tough setup</a>.
Leqembi (lecanemab) sales growth remains sluggish, falling below consensus projections through 2030.
Challenges like PET scan reimbursement, slow protocol updates at major hospital networks, and identifying eligible patients continue to hinder adoption.
Price Action: BIIB stock is down 2.61% at $138.81 at the last check on Tuesday.

Previews

What To Expect From Alzheimer's Drugmaker Biogen's Q4 Earnings On Wednesday?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sage Therapeutics, Inc. NASDAQ: SAGE) is officially exploring "strategic alternatives" to make shareholders happy. The process includes anything from a possible business combination to a full-on sale. Who&#8217;s interested? That would be Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>), which submitted an unsolicited offer Sage rejected. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Sage is known for its ZURZUVAE treatment for women with PPD. Goldman Sachs is providing financial advice and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP oversees legal matters. </li>
<li>Silvus Technologies, a Los Angeles-based mobile telecom owned by TJC, hired Morgan Stanley to explore a sale or initial public offering. TJC could seek a valuation of as much as $5 billion for Silvus, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/tjc-is-said-to-weigh-sale-ipo-of-radio-tech-provider-silvus">reported</a> citing sources. TJC, aka The Jordan Company purchased Silvus in December 2019. </li>
<li>Allakos Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLK#NASDAQ">ALLK</a>) is shutting down its AK006 program, leading to a major downsizing — about 75% of the company will be laid off. The biotech plans to keep around 15 employees to explore strategic alternatives, which CEO Robert Alexander described as "the usual things," according <a href="https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/allakos-axes-program-lays-75-staff-and-seeks-strategic-alternatives-after-phase-1-flop">to</a> Fierce Biotech. The move will significantly deplete Allakos' cash reserves, which stood at $81 million at the end of last year. The company expects to spend $34 million to $38 million on severance and restructuring costs, leaving it with just $35 million to $40 million in reserves by mid-year. The pressure is on to find a new strategic direction quickly.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updates From The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast) has secured more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325891/backed-by-youtube-king-mrbeast-group-of-american-investors-including-roblox-ceo-lock-in-over-20-billion-for-tiktok-takeover-but-they-have-not-heard-back-directly-from-bytedance">$20 billion</a> for a TikTok offer. An investor group, led by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley, includes Roblox Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) CEO David Baszucki and Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley as investors. Tinsley <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-29/tiktok-bidders-to-offer-significantly-more-than-20-billion?sref=KkPzpZvz">told</a> Bloomberg that their offer is &#8220;significantly higher&#8221; than a competing $20 billion bid. Whether Tinsley was referring to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42834240/kevin-oleary-joins-the-peoples-bid-for-tiktok-as-pending-ban-looms">Project Liberty bid</a> by former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star Kevin O'Leary is unclear. Also uncertain is whether Microsoft was seriously making a bid, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43260646/microsoft-eyes-tiktok-us-deal-as-trump-confirms-acquisition-talks-are-underway">as indicated by President Trump</a>.</li>

The Department of Justice is suing the tech company in what marks the first antitrust action of Trump's second term.
