Page 2 of 2

The story was very similar for Biogen Idec Inc (NASDAQ:BIIB) which jumped 4.7% despite lacking any company-specific news. However, Biogen Idec Inc (NASDAQ:BIIB)’s story is a lot different than Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN)’s in that it does have a diversified pipeline of FDA-approved drugs with quite a bit of market share in treating various stages of multiple sclerosis. Sales of the company’s relapsing MS drug, Tecfidera, appear to be flying off the shelves and should be well on their way to becoming a blockbuster given its fewer harsh side effects relative to competing medications. Biogen Idec Inc (NASDAQ:BIIB) is a company worth keeping a close eye on moving forward.
