Jefferies raised its Amgen price target from USD 410.00 to USD 428.00 on October 26, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The revised target sits 4.25 percent below Amgen's Nasdaq price of USD 447.00 on October 27, 2026 at 11:04 a.m. EDT. Amgen stock was trading at EUR 401.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 4:01 p.m. CET, 1.68 percent above the Xetra close of October 26, 2026 at EUR 394.75.
Revenue reached USD 10.05 billion
Amgen's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 10.05 billion, up 9.50 percent from the year-earlier comparison. The company also reported USD 2.38 billion in consolidated net income and diluted earnings per share of USD 4.37 for the period.
MarketBeat reported that the second-quarter revenue exceeded consensus of USD 9.43 billion, while earnings per share exceeded the USD 5.62 estimate in its adjusted comparison.
