Amgen Inc. has raised its quarterly dividend by 6% to $2.52 per share, reflecting a 12% revenue growth year-over-year and ongoing investments in expansion across its therapeutic areas. However, the company faces significant stock market volatility, with recent options market activities indicating heightened investor scrutiny. Amidst pricing pressure and political challenges, Amgen remains committed to a hefty $3 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, adding to its $40 billion investment since 2017.
