Biogen Inc. was upgraded from Sell to Hold following its $5.6 billion acquisition of Apellis, which adds near-term revenue and expands its kidney disease portfolio. While multiple sclerosis revenues remain stable, long-term decline is expected, and new product launches are not anticipated before 2028/2029. Setbacks in the Alzheimer's pipeline persist, but Biogen's low valuation, strong cash position, and merger and acquisition capacity offer some protection against downside risks through the decade.
