Survey shows ‘solid fundamentals’ for Biogen MS franchise, says Piper Jaffray

Piper Jaffray analyst Christopher Raymond keeps an Overweight rating on Biogen (BIIB) with a $400 price target after surveying 100 neurologists. The survey feedback shows “solid fundamentals” for the company’s multiple sclerosis portfolio, Raymond tells investors in a research note. He admits, however, that many investors are preoccupied with Tecfidera’s intellectual property situation. Nonetheless, neurologists reported meaningful share gains for Tecfidera and Tysabri this quarter, says the analyst. Raymond believes worries over the impact to Biogen’s multiple sclerosis franchise from Roche’s (RHHBY) Ocrevus launch “may be behind us.”
