Regeneron recorded revenue of $13.3 million from Eylea in Japan in April 2013. The revenue increased by 22% as compared to $11.7 million in March 2013. Eylea has captured about 50% market share in Japan, and Japanese sales will total around $166 million by the end of this year.

Regeneron, along with Sanofi SA (ADR) (NYSE:SNY), developed Dupilumab, a new drug for asthma patients. The drug is given to patients whose conditions are not well controlled by existing medicines. The phase IIa study of Dupilumab, conducted for moderate-to-severe allergic asthma, showed positive results. The drug resulted in improved breathing conditions and better control of asthma. Phase IIb study of Dupilumab will be initiated in mid-2013. It is estimated that 25 million people in the U.S. have asthma. The disease in not well controlled with normal medication or therapy in about 15% of these patients. The success of this drug will increase Regeneron’s addressable market in the U.S.

Conclusion

salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM) acquired ExactTarget to increase its presence in the email marketing channel. With this acquisition and its existing software, the company is expected to generate additional revenue in the growing marketing software segment.

ASML Holding N.V. (ADR) (NASDAQ:ASML) aims to reduce the lead time for EUV tools in order to meet increasing demand. The acquisition of Cymer will further help ASML to increase production of EUV tools. With about 80% market share of EUV tools, the company expects to earn additional revenue.

With Eylea capturing large market share in Japan, and dupilumab showing positive results in its phase IIa study, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:REGN) has excellent potential to increase its revenue.

These growth strategies and potential for increasing revenue will help these companies to increase their EPS in the future. I recommend a buy for all three stocks.
