Biogen Q3 2026: Appellis integration beats expectations, growth portfolio hits 63% of pharma revenue, litifilumab SLE data weeks away

Biogen delivered Q3 2026 total revenue of $2.8 billion, up 11% year over year, with the growth portfolio generating approximately $1.3 billion — now representing 63% of core pharmaceutical revenue and growing 49% year over year. The Appellis acquisition is already operating-neutral ahead of schedule, with $250 million in run-rate synergies targeted by end of 2027, and SYFOVRE plus Empaveli contributed $243 million in their first full quarter under Biogen ownership. The most consequential near-term catalyst is the Phase 3 litifilumab SLE readout in the first half of December, which management frames as a potential market-creation event in a lupus biologics segment it views as structurally underpenetrated.

Revenue commentary · FY 2025

Total revenue increased from $9,675.9 million in 2024 to $9,890.6 million in 2025, driven primarily by growth in anti-CD20 therapeutic program revenue and Alzheimer's collaboration revenue, partially offset by continued declines in MS product revenue.
