About Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) Stock

Amgen Inc. is a multinational biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California. Established in 1980 by William Bowes from Cetus Corporation and Winston Salser from UCLA, Amgen is now one of the world's largest independent biotechnology companies, with over 24,000 employees worldwide. The company's primary focus is on molecular biology and biochemistry, intending to provide healthcare solutions based on recombinant DNA technology.

Neulasta, one of Amgen's most prominent selling product lines, is used to prevent infections in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Enbrel is another famous selling product line for Amgen, used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. The company's other products have various applications in treating cancer, anemia, osteoporosis and other conditions.

Amgen has a rich history of strong leadership, with the appointment of several successful CEOs since its inception. Robert A. Bradway is the current CEO and was brought to Amgen in May 2012 following his predecessor's retirement. Bradway has led the company to new heights with strategic acquisitions and partnerships.

Amgen has made at least five major corporate acquisitions. In 2019, the company announced it would acquire Nuevolution AB and the Otezla drug program from Celgene and a 20.5% stake in the Beijing-based BeiGene for $2.7 billion. These acquisitions have strengthened Amgen's drug pipeline and provided new revenue streams for the company. In March 2021, Amgen announced its plans to acquire Five Prime Therapeutics and its lead research drug candidate, bemarituzumab, for $1.9 billion. It also agreed to acquire Rodeo Therapeutics for up to $720 million. These acquisitions are part of the company's ongoing efforts to expand its drug pipeline and bring new treatments to patients.

In 2012, Amgen faced legal issues when it pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $150 million in criminal penalties and $612 million in damages to resolve 11 related whistleblower complaints. Amgen has also faced criticism for lobbying for a two-year extension on sales of drugs, including Sensipar, without government controls, which will cost taxpayers an estimated $500 million. However, the company remains committed to providing innovative and effective healthcare solutions for patients.

Amgen's success can be attributed to its commitment to innovation, strategic acquisitions, strong partnerships and top-end leadership. The company's impressive portfolio of products and its commitment to the community has solidified Amgen's position as a leader in biopharmaceuticals.
