Q: Hi Team,
Once again the hopeful small cap Jan bounce has done the opposite so far with essentially all growth being sold off. It’s amazing how a new year is here and it’s like a light switch where the narrative turns to everyone selling to lock in profits. This confuses me some as I thought year end Dec would be the time to lock in gains? What’s your take on the selloff and when’s your best estimate of when would be a good time to buy the dip? Is there a history of how long a Jan selloff typically lasts? Also; is there any standout buys in the market you see today now as a result of the recent selloff ? Thanks ,

Shane

  • $325.49 P/E (TTM): 25.23X Cap: $175.55B
  • View AMGN Profile
  • View Questions on AMGN

Q: I am puzzled by the sudden rise in AMGN share price today. The only news I see is from a week ago, that the FDA completed a report on the Lung Cancer drug Lumakras, voting *against* full approval. The drug was conditionally approved in May 2021, and I believe the condition was that Amgen had to complete a comparative trial, showing it was more effective than other treatments like chemotherapy, in order to receive full approval. But it sounds like their trial failed due to dropouts from their "other treatment" group.
Why would this "rejection" result in a sudden rise in share price? Or is it due to something else, like a broker upgrade?
