Biogen Inc. has projected 2026 profit above analyst expectations due to aggressive cost-cutting efforts, despite anticipated declining sales from its multiple sclerosis franchise. CEO Chris Viehbacher has implemented job cuts and research pipeline reductions while focusing on growth from newer drugs like the Alzheimer’s treatment Leqembi and rare-disease medications Skyclarys and Spinraza. The company’s fourth-quarter sales and adjusted earnings both exceeded Wall Street estimates, and it awaits key regulatory decisions and trial data this year.
