Mylan priced Amgen biosimilar at 33% discount, says Jefferies

Jefferies analyst Michael Yee says Mylan (MYL) priced its biosimilar to Amgen’s Neulasta at a 33% discount to the gross price of branded Neulasta. While the discount is slightly more than initial expectations of 10%-20%, the key is knowing what level of rebating Mylan will be offering to hospitals, Yee tells investors in a research note. The analyst admits, however, that Mylan’s Fulphila price “indeed undercuts” Amgen. He keeps a Buy rating on Amgen shares with a $200 price target.
