Regeneron (REGN) Stock May Be Underpriced Despite Its $1b Alliance Expansion

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has had a mixed run, with the share price climbing over the longer haul yet slipping in recent weeks, which raises a simple question for anyone looking at the stock today. Do the current earnings of Regeneron support where the market is pricing the business now, or has sentiment moved further than the underlying profit story?

  • Over the past 5 years the stock has delivered a gain of 34.4%, putting real weight on the question of whether that performance is adequately backed by the company’s earnings power.
  • The expanded alliance with Sanofi brings Regeneron US$1b upfront and the potential for sizeable milestone payments, which can influence how investors think about future profitability and the earnings base that might justify today’s valuation.
  • The analysts covering Regeneron Pharmaceuticals have run their own numbers. See what analysts think Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's shares could be worth.

The issue now is whether Regeneron’s current share price can be explained by its earnings when set against the Fair Ratio benchmark.

To see how Regeneron Pharmaceuticals stacks up against other earnings focused opportunities, it can help to compare it with companies screened for 27 high quality undervalued stocks.

Is Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Still Cheap on Earnings?

The P/E ratio tends to matter most for a profitable, established drug developer like Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, because earnings are a central driver of how holders get paid back over time.

Right now the stock trades on a P/E of about 17.0x, which is very close to the Biotechs sector average of roughly 17.6x and well below the peer group on about 27.1x. Against a Fair Ratio benchmark that reflects Regeneron’s own mix of margins, growth profile, size and risk, the current multiple screens as undervalued rather than stretched. The recent expansion of the Sanofi alliance has sharpened focus on future antibody revenue streams. Even with that catalyst in the background, the earnings multiple still sits at a discount to what this framework suggests as a more typical level for the business.
