(NASDAQ:AMGN) had reported its fourth quarter earnings, which saw the firm post $9.9 billion in revenue and $5.29 in adjusted earnings per share to beat analyst estimates. Cramer was cautiously optimistic about the firm in his remarks:
“This is still a big biotech company with mid-single-digit earnings growth expected this year, not to mention potential upside for this GLP-1 drug down the road. But here’s the bottom line: We got plenty of data from this American Diabetes Association conference that ended earlier this week, and I think Amgen’s trial results were misunderstood. The stock did not deserve to get hit this hard. Lily’s still my favorite way to play the GLP-1 story. But if you’re looking for a bargain, you could do a lot worse than Amgen.”
