Biogen posts Q3 2026 earnings beat and lifts FY EPS outlook

Biogen reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of about $2.8 billion, up roughly 11% year over year. The company posted a GAAP loss of $20.6 million but delivered non‑GAAP earnings per share of $2.62, surpassing analyst expectations. Growth‑portfolio sales climbed 49% to $1.26 billion, driven by the first full quarter of contributions from the Apellis acquisition. Biogen subsequently increased the lower bound of its full‑year 2026 non‑GAAP EPS guidance to a range of $12.20‑$13.00.

The company said the higher guidance reflects the strength of its Growth Portfolio and integration of Apellis products, suggesting better profitability than previously forecast. Investors will see an upward revision to the EPS target for the year, which may support the stock price.
