Amgen Inc.
Amgen Inc (AMGN) is a large-cap biotechnology company specialising in human therapeutics, particularly biologic medicines. With a market capitalisation around $162 billion, Amgen generates revenue from established products across oncology, nephrology, inflammation and cardiovascular care, while investing heavily in a diverse R&D pipeline of biologics and novel therapies. The company benefits from recurring revenue from long-tenured biologics, a history of steady free cash flow and a shareholder-friendly dividend policy, but faces typical sector risks: clinical trial setbacks, biosimilar competition, pricing pressure and regulatory scrutiny. Investors should watch product patent expiries, pipeline readouts and any M&A activity.
