Amgen settlement with Sandoz a positive, says Jefferies

Amgen settlement with Sandoz a positive, says Jefferies

Most models were already in accordance for 2025, so the settlement timeline is “generally in line with consensus,” added the analyst, who has a Buy rating and $375 price target on Amgen shares.
