Biotechnology Shares Predicted to Surge by 21% and 245% by Leading Stock Experts on Wall Street

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, the renowned biotech company, has secured approval for a new cancer medicine, Lynozyfic, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to combat disease.

The approval comes amidst a slightly turbulent period for the company's stock, which has seen a decline. However, analysts predict that patient investors could reap superior returns over the long run, given Regeneron's robust pipeline and upcoming regulatory wins.

One such win is expected for Eylea HD, Regeneron's medication used to treat wet age-related macular degeneration. The company is on the verge of earning label expansions for Eylea in the U.S., including in treating macular edema.

However, Regeneron faces competition for Eylea, with biosimilars entering the market. Despite this, the high-dose formulation of Eylea and the exceptional performance of eczema treatment Dupixent helped the company grow its top line in the second quarter. Revenue increased by 4% year over year to $3.68 billion.

Worldwide sales for Dupixent, recorded by Sanofi, increased even more significantly, by 22% year over year to $4.34 billion.

In addition to these successes, Regeneron is also working on a gene therapy for one type of genetic deafness. Trevogrumab, a medicine that could address muscle loss in patients taking GLP-1 weight management medicines like semaglutide, is another promising addition to Regeneron's pipeline.

Encouraging results from a phase 2 study of Trevogrumab have been reported. Despite the lack of specific analysts issuing positive forecasts for the return of Viking Therapeutics and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in the coming months or years, the company's future looks bright with its impressive pipeline and ongoing efforts to innovate in the field of medicine.
