AMGN stock is rallying recently, largely due to a very strong Q3 2025 earnings report, released on Nov. 4, with revenues jumping 12% year over year (YoY) to $9.6 billion, driven by double-digit sales growth across 16 of its key products. Growing demand for its newer medicines such as Repatha, Tezspire, Evenity and other rare disease drugs is contributing to top-line strength. In addition, non-GAAP EPS increased 1% YoY to $5.64.

Its rival Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY) has pulled back 18.9% over the past 52 weeks and declined 15.6% YTD, lagging noticeably behind AMGN’s gains.

AMGN stock has a consensus rating of “Moderate Buy” from 32 analysts covering it, and the stock has surged past the mean price target of $325.04.
