New York, Feb 7, 2026, 17:15 EST — Market closed. Amgen Inc shares closed up 4.5% on Friday at $384.32, setting a new 52-week high as a three-day advance carried into the weekend.

CVS Health said its Caremark pharmacy benefit manager will remove Amgen’s osteoporosis drug Prolia — and Eli Lilly’s Forteo — from some preferred drug lists starting April 1, swapping in lower-cost biosimilars and generics.
