AMGN posted a 2Q beat, driven by a majority of products, and

raised the mid-point of the rev guidance by ~$1bn (~3%). The

next catalysts for the stock are lateral data from NVS's Ph3 Lpa

trial and Dazo Ph3 Sjogren's data both expected in 2H.

2Q26 recap: Revenue of $10.1bn was above MSe/cons of $9.4bn. Repatha and

Uplinza each came in ~$30mn ahead of consensus, but $200mn of the rev beat

revenue variance. 2026 guidance raised: AMGN raised total revenue guidance to

$38.2-$39.4bn from $37.1-$38.5bn previously (vs. MS new/old/cons of $38.4bn/

$37.6bn/$37.7bn), and also raised 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $22.30-$23.50

from $21.70-$23.10 previously (vs. MS new/old/cons $22.93/$22.24/$22.36). AMGN

continues to expect roughly 45-46% non-GAAP operating margin. AMGN reiterated

2026 share repurchases not to exceed $3bn.
