The major competitors of Biogen

We now propose you to discover how to make a good study of Biogen's competition by analysing the news and results of the companies that are the direct opponents of this group on the market.

TevaPharmaceuticals

This company based in Israel is indeed one of the most important pharmaceutical companies in the world but also and above all the leading producer of generic drugs in the world. This company owns several brands of medicines such as Teva but also Ratiopharm, Cephalon, Taiyo, Barr, Pliva and Ivax.

The major partners of Biogen

We now offer you an overview of the recent partnerships that the Biogen group has been able to set up and their respective objectives with two concrete examples.

Digital Pharma Lab

First of all and in 2018, the Biogen group has signed a partnership with Digital Pharma Lab, the European accelerator of pharmatech with Biogen's participation in the first season of its programme. Thanks to this partnership, Biogen is the first company in its sector to benefit from Digital Pharma Lab's acceleration programme and has even become its exclusive partner in the neurosciences field.

Theradiag

Another partnership signed this time in 2019 is the one set up with Theradiag to supply Lisa Tacker kits for monitoring Flixabi, a biosimilar of infliximab. Biogen is in fact a company specialising in the manufacture of biomedicines and has made several drugs available to France, including Flixabi, with the aim of helping to control healthcare costs. These monitoring kits will thus be offered in calls for tender in which the company is participating in France and in certain European countries, with the aim of optimising the care of patients treated with this drug.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has the Biogen share generated dividends in recent years?

Although Biogen has experienced strong growth in recent years, for the moment it prefers to follow a policy of reinvesting its profits in its activities, particularly in R&D. For this reason, no dividend has been paid to its shareholders for the moment. However, this does not mean that this will not be the case in the years to come.

Is it compulsory to carry out a technical analysis of the Biogen action?

While, as we have seen above, good fundamental analysis can help you in taking positions on Biogen's share price, it should never be used alone unless you are considering a very short-term strategy such as an intraday strategy. It is therefore almost always essential to carry out technical analysis of the stock to maximise the relevance of your signals.
