The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Wednesday, the stock price of BIIB.US (BIIB.US) rose. As of press release, it had risen by more than 5%. According to the news, the company's second-quarter revenue increased 3.8% year over year to 2.7 billion US dollars, exceeding expectations of 240 million US dollars; earnings per share were 3.60 US dollars, exceeding expectations of 1.57 US dollars. Thanks to increased sales of newly acquired kidney and eye disease drugs, the company successfully compensated for the decline in revenue from multiple sclerosis (MS) drugs, and the company's quarterly revenue and adjusted earnings both exceeded analysts' expectations.

At the same time, the company raised its full-year revenue forecast, saying that it is currently expected that sales will achieve a mid-single-digit percentage increase rather than the single-digit percentage decline previously predicted. However, Baijian lowered its adjusted profit guidance to reflect the costs and milestone payments associated with the acquisition.
