【drug-news】安进股票下滑, CEO并不认为公司业绩欠

Maybe Amgen’s annus horribilis wasn’t quite as horrible as investors expected.

CEO Kevin Sharer said yesterday that 2007 earnings should approach $4.30 a share, rather higher than previous estimates of $4.13 to $4.23, the WSJ reports.

Speaking at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, Sharer said job cuts and other cost cutting “came close to recapturing” the revenue the company lost as sales of its golden-goose anemia-drug franchise fell on safety concerns associated with the drugs.

The company’s stock, which fell by more than 30% last year (see chart), closed up 2% yesterday. But it would be premature to declare 2008 a jubilee year for the company. An FDA advisory panel will meet in March to discuss the use of the company’s anemia drugs in cancer patients — one in a long series of similar meetings. The panel is a big enough deal that Amgen has postponed its big annual business review until after the meeting.

The company’s best hope to get back on the growth track is denosumab, aka D-mab, an experimental osteoporosis drug. But the bone-drug market is a crowded one, and D-mab will need to show stellar results to stand out. TEVA药厂 CFO在26届JPM 健康产业投资论坛上的讲演
