Ideas
Bob Bradway Chairman and CEO, Amgen 0:52
Amgen obesity drug may improve persistence.
Bradway says Repatha profoundly lowers LDL cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke; in a recent study of people who had never had a heart attack, adding Repatha to optimized therapy further reduced heart attack risk by 36%. Amgen has cut Repatha's list price twice, no U.S. patient pays more than $8 a day, and Bradway says Repatha grew very well in 2025 and should continue growing nicely through the rest of the decade.

Cramer likes Amgen's no-patent-cliff portfolio.
Cramer says he likes Amgen because it has a mosaic of consistent drugs with no patent cliff he worries about. He thinks drugs currently doing $3-5 billion could reach $6-20 billion, and he notes shareholders get a 3% yield with good growth; he calls Amgen a terrific stock.
