Biogen Downgraded to Hold as Near-Term Growth Pros…

Needham analysts downgraded Biogen (NASDAQ:BIIB) from Buy to Hold due to limited upside potential. Slow growth from new products like Leqembi and a lack of significant pipeline developments were cited. Sales estimates for Leqembi were lowered, with revenue not expected to grow until 2026. The company may see a decline in 2024 and flat performance in 2025.

Biogen’s new product launches were struggling to offset declines in the base business, affecting revenue growth.

Long-term growth potential remained strong, but short-term drivers were lacking, leading to a more cautious outlook.
