  • Biogen Shares Rise 6% After Q1 Earnings Beat Despite Guidance Cut
    April 29, 2026, 9:29 PM EDT. Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB) shares rose 6% on Wednesday following its first-quarter 2026 earnings report. The biotech posted $2.48 billion in revenue, surpassing analyst expectations of $2.25 billion. Net income, excluding accounting standards (GAAP), increased 19% to over $529 million, or $3.57 per share, above forecasts of $2.95. Growth was driven by strong sales of Leqembi, for early Alzheimer's, up 74%, and the FDA-approved Skyclarys for Friedreich's ataxia. However, Biogen cut full-year adjusted net income guidance by $1 per share citing research and development charges. Revenue is expected to decline mid-single digits from 2025, excluding a pending $5.6 billion acquisition of Apellis Pharmaceuticals. Biogen's strategic shift towards high-potential therapies is underway despite cautious outlook.
