Outperform -> Market Perform
Reason
Bernstein downgraded Amgen (AMGN) to Market Perform from Outperform with an unchanged price target of $335 to reflect the firm's view that "2026 is a waiting year" for MariTide. The downgrade also incorporates new overhangs, including risk to Repatha with Merck's (MRK) enlicitide pricing and debate around Lp(a) outcome impact until read-across for Novartis' (NVS) pelicarsen, the analyst tells investors.

Reason
UBS upgraded Amgen to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $380, up from $317, as the analyst assumed coverage of the stock. While the firm notes that there continues to be "significant debate with heavily bearish sentiment," it contends this could provide an opportunity as it sees upside from EPS and the pipeline, both from MariTide in obesity and a new Lp(a) cardiovascular drug in Phase 3 testing, the analyst tells investors.
