Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (REGN), Time Warner Cable Inc (TWC), Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB): Tuesday’s Best Stocks

Finally, Biogen Idec Inc. (NASDAQ:BIIB) saw its shares zoom higher by 4.1% following positive commentary from UBS AG (USA) (NYSE:UBS) as noted by Barron’s. Although UBS only went so far as to give a neutral view of Biogen Idec, the research firm did note that large-cap biotechnology stocks look to be in better shape than small-cap biotechs, and they remain one of the few sectors within the global equity markets that look poised for growth in the interim. The acquisition of Tysabri’s global rights from Elan Corporation, plc (ADR) (NYSE:ELN), as well as the approval of game-changing relapsing multiple sclerosis pill, Tecfidera, certainly gives shareholders hope that Biogen has plenty of pep left in its step.
