Founded in Thousand Oaks, California in 1980 as Applied Molecular Genetics, the company pioneered commercial biotechnology with Epogen and Neupogen, recombinant proteins that treated anemia and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and generated the industry's first large biologic revenues. The portfolio now spans Enbrel, Prolia, Repatha, and Otezla, acquired from Celgene. The $27.8 billion Horizon Therapeutics purchase in 2023 added rare disease drugs after an antitrust challenge was settled. Biosimilar competition against its own older products is a persistent pressure.

Amgen equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge AMGN stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and AMGN's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current AMGN option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Amgen grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Amgen typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Amgen RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Amgen restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
