Baird reiterates an 'Outperform' on Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) price target raised to $79.00.
Analyst, Christopher Raymond, said, "Raising our Q212 revenue, EPS estimates and anticipate meaningful upside to expectations. However, with the stock's multiple close to its historical high and with an increasingly leveraged balance sheet, we think the risk/reward on this name is clearly not what it was. Bottom line - given the tenuous macro environment, we believe AMGN offers unique operational strength and safety for large-cap investors. But at some point, one must wonder how much higher this name can work." (Raises Q2 EPS of $1.54)
