Investopedia: Amgen Chased By The Bubble

There are two relatively heated debates that bear directly on Amgen (Nasdaq:AMGN) and its stock. First, is Amgen still really a biotech, or is it really more of a Big Pharma company? Second, is there a biotech/pharma bubble (and if so, how will valuations fare post-popping)? Investors' perspectives on these two issues likely have a lot to do with whether they see value in these shares, for while Amgen is certainly a well-run company looking to become an increasingly balanced advanced drug developer, the valuation is somewhat demanding unless the pipeline really delivers.

Investopedia: Teva Likely To Tread Water Ahead Of New Strategy

It is perhaps a little ironic that generics giant Teva Pharmaceutical (NYSE:TEVA) finds itself in a position similar to what it helped create for many other pharmaceutical companies over the years. The company is facing increasing competition for its blockbuster MS drug Copaxone, while also having to deal with more pushback on pricing and a thinning pipeline for major generic releases. While Teva does have to face up to some near-term challenges, success with biosimiliars and a decision from management to double-down on internal efficiency and profitability would likely go a long way toward improving investor sentiment.
