Truist Securities Maintains Buy on Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Lowers Price Target to $1137

The stock market&#39;s impressive and resilient performance in 2024, with the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF&nbsp;up over 21% YTD and trading at all-time highs, has led many investors to chase high-flying stocks at all-time highs. However, this approach can be risky as stocks stretched to the upside might face corrections. Instead, focusing on oversold stocks that offer solid risk-to-reward ratios may be more rewarding.&nbsp;
Identifying oversold stocks can be done using several strategies: valuation metrics like P/E ratios, technical indicators like RSI (with a reading below 40 suggesting oversold conditions), or analyzing a stock&#39;s price action around crucial support levels within a broader uptrend.
Here&#39;s a look at three stocks that appear oversold and may present attractive buying opportunities.
<h2>Micron Retraces Following Earnings Beat</h2>
Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mu#NASDAQ">MU</a>), a significant player in the semiconductor industry, recently posted a strong earnings beat on September 25th, but shares have since pulled back. After surging to $114.8 following the earnings report, the stock has retraced to $101.7. Despite this pullback, the stock has found support and looks ready to continue its upward trend, presenting an attractive risk-reward opportunity for investors.
In its latest earnings report, Micron posted an EPS of $1.18, beating estimates by $0.21, with revenue of $7.75 billion, up 93.3% year-over-year. This impressive growth signals Micron&#39;s ability to capitalize on the strong semiconductor demand, particularly in artificial intelligence and data centers. Analysts are bullish on the stock, with a Moderate Buy consensus based on 27 ratings, 25 of which are Buy recommendations. The consensus price target of $142.85 represents a potential 40.5% upside, making Micron an enticing pick.
Additionally, with its RSI nearing 40, Micron is approaching oversold territory. Combined with solid fundamentals and analyst optimism, this indicates that the current pullback may be a compelling entry point for long-term investors looking for a potential recovery play in the semiconductor sector.
<h2>Biogen Nears Oversold and Undervalued Territory</h2>
Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/biib#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>), a prominent player in the biotechnology space, has had a challenging year, with its stock down nearly 30% YTD. However, this significant decline has left the stock in both oversold and undervalued territory. Currently trading with an RSI of 36, it might be nearing a potential rebound point. The stock&#39;s P/E ratio of 23.4 and forward P/E of 10.82 also suggest a valuation that could attract long-term investors.
Biogen reported strong Q2 results, posting an EPS of $5.28, which beat expectations by $1.28, on revenue of $2.47 billion. While revenue growth was modest at 0.4% year-over-year, the stock&#39;s potential upside is catching analysts&#39; attention. Biogen holds a Moderate Buy rating, with analysts forecasting a 47% upside, making it a prime candidate for investors looking to capitalize on a turnaround.
Beyond technical indicators, institutional inflows into the stock further underscore the interest in Biogen as a potential recovery play. Over the past twelve months, inflows have reached $3.57 billion, compared to $2.24 billion in outflows, signaling confidence among institutional investors that the stock&#39;s current valuation might be an attractive entry point.
<h2>REGN Finds Support Near Its 200-day SMA</h2>
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/regn#NASDAQ">REGN</a>), another biotech heavyweight, has pulled back into a critical support level at its rising 200-day simple moving average (SMA), currently near $1,000. The last time the stock hit this major moving average, it surged from $900 to nearly $1,200 within four months. With the stock now trading just above $1,000, history could be about to repeat itself.
Regeneron&#39;s Q2 earnings beat estimates by a wide margin, with EPS of $11.56 surpassing estimates by $2.63 and revenue of $3.55 billion, a 12.3% year-over-year increase. The stock&#39;s RSI is now hovering around 30, signaling oversold conditions. With earnings set to be released on October 31, a positive report could propel Regeneron back upward. Analysts are optimistic, with a consensus price target indicating more than 10% upside potential.
Regeneron&#39;s impressive historical performance, robust financials, and strong earnings potential make it a stock to watch as it approaches critical technical support levels. The stock could be poised for a sharp recovery if the company delivers another earnings beat in its upcoming report.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS), has released a Request for Information (RFI) regarding a new initiative to lower prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients.
The Medicare $2 Drug List Model, developed under President Biden&#8217;s Executive Order 14087, seeks to offer certain generic drugs for a fixed copayment of no more than $2 per month.
This initiative targets commonly prescribed drugs for conditions like high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Innovation Center) has designed the Medicare $2 Drug List Model to test whether simplifying access to affordable, clinically important generics will improve health outcomes, improve medication adherence, and boost overall satisfaction with the Medicare Part D program.
These drugs, which would not be subject to typical utilization management requirements, could be available at all participating pharmacies as early as January 2027.
The initial list of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/biden-harris-administration-takes-next-step-proposed-model-lower-prescription-drug-costs-people" rel="noreferrer noopener">drugs</a> for the $2 Drug List Model has been carefully developed through a rigorous process. It incorporates input from physicians, pharmacists, and health policy experts to ensure that the selected medications address common conditions for Medicare recipients.
The concept of a fixed-cost drug list is not new, with many retail pharmacies already offering generic medications at low, standardized prices.
However, the Medicare $2 Drug List Model will be tailored specifically to Medicare recipients.
Last week,&nbsp;the HHS released final guidance for the second &nbsp;Medicare Drug Price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">Negotiation Program cycle</a>.

The first round of negotiations focused on ten specific drugs.

Inquiry Into Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's Competitor Dynamics In Biotechnology Industry

George Yancopoulos, co-founder and chief scientific officer of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>), has voiced concerns that the popular GLP-1s class of weight-loss drugs may lead to unintended health risks, particularly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38596483/regeneron-pharmaceuticals-targets-quality-weight-loss-in-latest-obesity-innovation" rel="noreferrer noopener">rapid muscle loss</a>.
Yancopoulos warned that unless this side effect is mitigated, these treatments could ultimately cause &#8220;more harm than good.&#8221; Clinical studies indicate that patients using GLP-1s, such as Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Ozempic and Wegovy, experience muscle loss much faster than those who lose weight through diet and exercise.

In the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/094cbf1f-c5a8-4bb3-a43c-988bd8e2dea9" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, Yancopoulos emphasized that patients often regain weight but with a higher fat-to-muscle ratio, which Yancopoulos described as &#8220;adding insult to injury.&#8221;
He expressed concerns that GLP-1s may trigger body composition changes that could lead to more harm than benefit in the long run when used in the real world.
A study published in the&nbsp;Journal of the American Medical Association&nbsp;(JAMA) revealed that patients, on average, achieved only a 3.7% weight reduction after one year on the drugs—lower than the results reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41168351/popular-weight-loss-drugs-like-ozempic-show-gap-between-clinical-trial-promises-and-real-world-us" rel="noreferrer noopener">in controlled trials</a>.
Regeneron is researching muscle-preserving treatments to pair with these weight-loss medications.
Regeneron is conducting a Phase 2 trial for trevogrumab, which blocks the hormone myostatin to promote muscle growth, in combination with Wegovy (semaglutide).
Topline results are expected in the second half of 2025.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

(REGN) - Analyzing Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's Short Interest

Sanofi&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sny#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) and partner Regeneron&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/regn#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) announced that the FDA has approved their blockbuster drug, Dupixent, for its sixth indication &mdash; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) &mdash; in the United States. The approved indication is as an add-on maintenance treatment of adults with inadequately controlled COPD and an eosinophilic phenotype. With this approval, Dupixent became the first biologic treatment approved for COPD in the United States.
Dupixent was approved for treating COPD with raised blood eosinophils in the EU in July 2024. Dupixent was also approved for the COPD indication in China last week.
Sanofi&#39;s stock has gained 16.0% so far this year compared with an increase of 20.2% for the large cap <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/large-cap-pharmaceuticals-225">pharmaceutical industry</a>.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/e4/79621.jpg?v=1565371588" style="height:310px; width:624px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The approval for COPD, a respiratory disease that causes progressive lung function decline, was based on data from two studies. The NOTUS and BOREAS studies met their primary endpoint by showing that Dupixent significantly reduced moderate or severe acute COPD exacerbations by 30% and 34%, respectively. Dupixent also showed improvements in lung function and health-related quality of life compared to placebo.
Earlier this year, the FDA extended its decision on a supplemental biologics license application seeking approval of Dupixent for COPD from June 27 to Sept. 27.
<h3>Dupixent &ndash; Key Top-Line Driver For SNY, REGN</h3>
Dupixent is currently approved in several countries, including the United States and EU, for five other type II inflammatory diseases, namely severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, severe asthma, moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis and prurigo nodularis.
Dupixent is being jointly marketed by Regeneron and&nbsp;Sanofi&nbsp;under a global collaboration agreement. Sanofi records global net product sales of Dupixent, while Regeneron records its share of profits/losses in connection with the global sales of the drug. The approval for the COPD indication can significantly boost sales of Dupixent. Some analysts expect total sales of Dupixent for COPD to be around $6 billion.
Dupixent is a key top-line driver for both Sanofi and Regeneron on strong demand trends. In the first half of 2024, Dupixent generated global product sales of $&euro;6.1 billion, which were recorded by Sanofi, representing growth of 27.1% at a constant exchange rate. Sanofi expects Dupixent to achieve more than &euro;13 billion in sales in 2024.
For Regeneron, Dupixent generated collaboration revenues of $2.06 billion in the first half, up 18% year over year.

The biotechnology industry is rapidly evolving, with innovative companies pushing the boundaries of science and medicine. To capitalize on the industry's expansion, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally sound biotech stocks, Gilead Sciences (GILD), Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), and Biogen (BIIB), which have the potential to revolutionize medicine. Read on…. Today, many diseases still lack effective treatments, mainly because developing new drugs can take years and cost a fortune. But that's changing fast, thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and other cutting-edge technologies into biotech research. Experts believe that when properly integrated into research, AI could drastically speed up drug discovery, leading to faster and more effective patient treatments.
Given the industry's positive prospects, it could be ideal to invest in quality biotech stocks such as Gilead Sciences, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GILD/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GILD</a>), Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/REGN/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">REGN</a>), and Biogen Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BIIB/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BIIB</a>), which are set to revolutionize medicine.
The biotechnology sector is buzzing with activity as several biotech firms have gained attention for their groundbreaking research and strong market performance. Moreover, the rising demand for personalized medicine drives the development of tailored treatments based on individual genetic profiles, creating an environment ripe for innovation and expansion.
So far this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has <a href="https://www.fda.gov/drugs/novel-drug-approvals-fda/novel-drug-approvals-2024">approved 35 new drugs</a> for conditions such as breast cancer, pulmonary disease, Alzheimer's disease, hypertension, and more. And with more approvals expected before year-end, the sector is poised for even more growth.
The global biotechnology market is projected to hit around $4.61 trillion by 2034, exhibiting a <a href="https://www.precedenceresearch.com/biotechnology-market#:~:text=The%20global%20biotechnology%20market%20size%20accounted%20for%20USD%201.55%20trillion,USD%20521.02%20billion%20in%202023.">CAGR of 11.5%</a>. Meanwhile, the U.S. market is expected to reach $830.31 billion by the same year. This growth is propelled by increasing funding, supportive government initiatives, growing industry partnerships, and M&amp;A activities.
In addition, the potential impact of biotech and AI on healthcare is profound. AI can <a href="https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbesbusinesscouncil/2024/06/24/emerging-trends-in-ai-in-biotech/#:~:text=Personalized%20Medicine&amp;text=AI%20algorithms%20are%20central%20to,efficacy%20and%20reducing%20adverse%20effects">revolutionize drug discovery</a> and development by enhancing medical personalization and streamlining complex healthcare data analysis. Generative AI, in particular, is transforming the field by using algorithms to design novel molecules and proteins. The generative AI market in biotech is expected to expand at a<a href="https://www.pharmiweb.com/press-release/2024-04-15/generative-ai-in-biotech-market-to-skyrocket-to-usd-472-million-by-2032-marketresearchbiz#:~:text=Generative%20AI%20in%20Biotech%20utilizes,innovation%20and%20drug%20candidate%20identification."> CAGR of 24.9%</a>, reaching $472 million by 2032.
With that in mind, let's delve into the fundamentals of the three <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/biotech/">Biotech</a> stock picks, starting with the third choice.
