&#8220;Regeneron is an American success story, with over 80 percent of our workforce and assets in the U.S. and all of our FDA-approved medicines invented in our New York laboratories&#8230;&#8221; said Leonard Schleifer, Board co-Chair, president and CEO of Regeneron.
&#8220;FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies will be bringing additional capacity online in 2025, 2026 and beyond as it completes the current $7 billion of expansion projects underway in both Europe and United States,&#8221; &nbsp;said Toshihisa Iida, director, corporate vice president, general manager of Life Sciences Strategy Headquarters and Bio-CDMO Division,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44917015/fujifilm-diosynth-biotechnologies-and-regeneron-sign-a-10-year-u-s-manufacturing-agreement-valued-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> FUJIFILM Corporation, Japan</a>.
Regeneron continues to invest heavily in its New York State operations. An approximately $3.6 billion expansion of its Tarrytown campus is underway, creating 1,000 full-time, high-skill jobs and expanding research, preclinical manufacturing, and support facilities.
In addition, the company is constructing a brand new fill/finish manufacturing facility in Rensselaer, New York. It has acquired an over 1 million-square-foot property in Saratoga Springs, New York, for production support activities and, potentially, additional manufacturing capacity.
Regeneron has added more than 7,000 jobs in the past five years, most of which are high-paying R&amp;D and manufacturing jobs based in the U.S.
Regeneron&#8217;s ongoing and planned investments in New York and North Carolina infrastructure and manufacturing are expected to total more than $7 billion.
On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a complete response letter (CRL) regarding the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the addition of extended dosing intervals (up to every 24 weeks) for Regeneron&#8217;s Eylea (aflibercept) Injection 8 mg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44886470/regeneron-provides-update-on-eylea-hd-aflibercept-injection-8-mg-supplemental-biologics-license-ap" rel="noreferrer noopener">across all approved indications</a>.
The CRL did not identify any issues with the safety or efficacy of Eylea HD in its approved indications and dosing regimens. The FDA did not agree with Regeneron&#8217;s proposal to add additional extended dosing intervals (greater than every 16 weeks, which is the maximum dosing interval currently indicated in the label). Regeneron is evaluating the FDA&#8217;s decision.
On Friday, the FDA approved Regeneron and Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) partnered Dupixent&nbsp;(dupilumab) for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite histamine-1 (H1) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44884755/dupixent-dupilumab-approved-in-the-u-s-as-the-first-new-targeted-therapy-in-over-a-decade-for-chro" rel="noreferrer noopener">antihistamine treatment</a>.

Data from the Eylea HD clinical program, including the Phase 3 QUASAR trial investigating Eylea HD in RVO, support the sBLA.

All anti-VEGF therapies approved to treat RVO, including Eylea, are indicated for monthly dosing.
In QUASAR, the safety profile of EYLEA HD (n=591) was similar to Eylea (n=301). It remained generally consistent with the known safety profile of Eylea HD in its pivotal trials for approved indications and with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42536756/regenerons-best-selling-eye-drug-eyleas-higher-dose-formulation-meets-primary-goal-in-another-form-of-retinal-disease-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">established safety profile of Eylea</a>.
Increased ocular pressure (5%) was the only ocular treatment-emergent adverse event that occurred in ≥5% of all Eylea HD patients, compared to 1.7% of Eylea patients.
There was one case each of endophthalmitis and retinal vasculitis in all Eylea HD patients, compared to two cases of endophthalmitis and no cases of retinal vasculitis in Eylea patients.
No cases of occlusive retinal vasculitis were reported. The rate of intraocular inflammation was 0.5% for Eylea HD and 1.3% for Eylea.
The safety and efficacy of Eylea HD for RVO and monthly dosing in approved indications have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.

FDA Accepts Regeneron's EYLEA HD Injection 8 mg sBLA For Priority Review For Treatment Of Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion And For Monthly Dosing In Approved Indications

US President Donald Trump issued a multi-part executive order on Tuesday to lower drug prices and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">reduce Medicare costs</a>.
Within 60 days, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is instructed to seek guidance for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for initial price applicability year 2028 and how drugmakers should implement the set prices in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
<ul>
<li>This guidance will focus on greater transparency, selecting high-cost drugs, and safeguarding pharmaceutical innovation.</li>
<li>Additionally, the administration seeks to eliminate a key disparity in how Medicare treats small-molecule drugs compared to biologics, discouraging investment in more affordable treatments.</li>
</ul>

The White House is also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/lowering-drug-prices-by-once-again-putting-americans-first/" rel="noreferrer noopener">targeting</a> the rising costs seniors face under Medicare. A new payment model will be tested within a year to obtain better value for high-cost drugs and biologicals, including those not subject to price negotiations.
Further, the administration wants to align Medicare payments with actual hospital acquisition costs through a national survey, with potential reimbursement adjustments following the results.
To reform Medicaid drug pricing, the administration will develop recommendations linking drug payments to their value and ensuring accurate rebate payments from manufacturers. The initiative also aims to assist states in managing spending while promoting innovation in Medicaid reimbursement.
Affordability for life-saving medications is another key focus: Community health centers will be required to offer insulin and epinephrine at or below discounted 340B prices to low-income individuals with high out-of-pocket costs or no insurance, with compliance tied to eligibility for future federal grants..
To address price manipulation in the supply chain, the administration calls for reevaluating middlemen roles, such as pharmacy benefit managers, and seeking transparency in their compensation structures. Within 90 days, recommendations to promote a more efficient pharmaceutical market are expected.
Other planned reforms include accelerating FDA approvals for generics and over-the-counter conversions, streamlining the drug importation program, and ensuring Medicare payments do not incentivize hospital-based care over less costly physician offices.
Lastly, federal agencies will investigate anti-competitive practices by drug manufacturers, with public listening sessions and policy recommendations expected within six months.

The French drug maker <a href="https://www.sanofi.com/en/media-room/press-releases/2025/2025-04-15-05-00-00-3061368" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> preliminary results from the TIDE-Asthma phase 2 study of amlitelimab and its efficacy in heterogeneous inflammatory asthma. Here&#8217;s what we know: 
<ul>
<li>The primary endpoint of the annualized exacerbation rate at week 48 was not met at the highest dose level, leading to nominal significance at the medium and low doses.</li>
<li>Treatment with amlitelimab led to nominally significant and clinically meaningful reductions in asthma exacerbations at the medium dose tested and a numerically greater reduction in exacerbations at the high dose at week 60.</li>
<li>A nominally significant and clinically meaningful improvement in secondary endpoints of lung function and asthma control was evident.</li>
<li>In a patient subgroup, amlitelimab showed nominally significant and clinically meaningful improvements in exacerbations (with a reduction of more than 70%), lung function, and asthma control at week 60.</li>
<li>The phase 3 program is currently being planned.</li>
<li>In the TIDE-Asthma study, patients were treated every four weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 12 weeks for the remaining 36 weeks. Amlitelimab&#8217;s durable efficacy through 60 weeks of treatment supports a quarterly maintenance dosing schedule.</li>
<li>The safety profile was consistent with previous studies across indications, with no new safety signals identified throughout the 60-week treatment period.</li>

Even as President Donald Trump paused the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days on Wednesday, he later confirmed in a conversation with reporters at his Oval Office that pharmaceutical companies would face tariffs.
What Happened: The rally in pharma stocks was short-lived after the stocks reversed course on Thursday. When a reporter asked President Trump if he would go ahead and levy tariff duties on pharmaceutical stocks, he said, &#8220;Yeah, well, I will be because we want them coming back.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, we realized during COVID-19 that we don&#8217;t make our drugs and our pharmaceuticals in this country. So, I realized that, and it was a big realization,&#8221; he added.
Citing the emergency during COVID-19, he stated that he wanted the pharma companies to produce drugs in the U.S.
&#8220;We had to go to China to get drugs, we had to go to other places, we don&#8217;t make it. That&#8217;s because we let them leave, and now if they want to come back, we&#8217;re going to put tariffs on the pharmaceutical companies, and they&#8217;re going to all want to come back,&#8221; Trump said.
The pharma stocks tumbled on Thursday after Trump&#8217;s confirmation of tariffs.

Why It Matters: Despite a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, base global tariffs of 10% and China tariffs of 125%, along with sector-specific tariffs of 25% on steel and aluminum, auto, and auto parts remain in place. Adding to it, the President hinted that he could soon announce tariffs on pharmaceutical companies.

Eli Lilly, AbbVie, Bristol Myers, Regeneron, And Other Pharma Companies Slide As Donald Trump Confirms Tariffs On Pharma Companies

U.S.&nbsp;President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, disclosed plans for a "major tariff" on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">foreign pharmaceuticals</a>.
"We're&nbsp;going to be announcing very&nbsp;shortly a major tariff on&nbsp;pharmaceuticals… when they hear that&nbsp;they will leave China, they&nbsp;will leave other places because… most of their product&nbsp;is sold here," Trump expressed at&nbsp;a National Republican <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708204/trump-hints-at-major-tariff-on-imported-pharmaceuticals-us-pharma-stocks-tumble-in-wednesday-pre-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">Congressional Committee&nbsp;dinner</a>.
He also told reporters on board his Air Force One plane that "pharma" tariffs would arrive "at a level that you haven't really seen before," saying these would be announced "in the near future," BBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedyylj1v32o" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> added.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44698325/trump-tariff-strategy-self-inflicted-market-debacle-says-wedbush-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump Tariff Strategy Creates ‘Self-Inflicted Market Debacle': Analyst</a>
When President Trump announced tariffs last week, he excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry under pressure following his prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44652075/us-tariffs-spare-drugmakers-but-threaten-diabetes-device-industry" rel="noreferrer noopener">on pharmaceutical imports</a>.&nbsp;
On Wednesday, in a surprise announcement from President Donald Trump, a 90-day pause on tariffs for countries that have not retaliated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">against U.S. trade measures.</a>
The news ignited a broad risk-on rally, catapulting major indices to multi-month highs and sending volatility plunging.
Trump's latest Truth Social post slammed China for showing "a lack of respect" and declared an immediate 125% tariff hike on Chinese goods.
"At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A. and other Countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable," he said.
He praised the over 75 countries that, in his words, "have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form."
As a reward, those countries would benefit from a temporary 10% reciprocal tariff and a 90-day pause on additional duties.
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump's first term.
Although Trump didn't provide many details, his remarks have unsettled buyers, especially those who depend on medicines from India. India provides nearly half of all generic drugs used in the U.S., helping cut billions from healthcare costs.
The U.S. is a major market, buying about a third of India's $13 billion in yearly drug exports.
Indian drug companies warn that if tariffs are added, they'd have to raise prices—which could increase healthcare costs in the U.S.
Even though some companies like Cipla and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDY#NYSE">RDY</a>) have factories in the U.S., most say it's too expensive to move production for low-profit generic drugs.
BofA Securities analyst says if the Trump administration plans to impose tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry, it would likely do so through a "Section 232 investigation" under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to determine whether importing certain goods threatens national security.
The typical timeline for a Section 232 investigation is about a year. If the same timeline applied here, tariffs on drug imports likely wouldn't take effect until late in the year—at the earliest.
It's unclear whether the Section 232 investigation into the drug industry is about to start, but based on recent comments from the administration, it seems possible. However, launching an investigation doesn't guarantee that tariffs will follow.
As the first quarter 2025 earnings season starts soon, analyst Tim Anderson says it will be worth watching whether companies discuss potential tariffs during earnings calls.
That said, any actual earnings impact likely wouldn't show up until sometime after 2025, which could leave investors with more questions than answers.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44698325/trump-tariff-strategy-self-inflicted-market-debacle-says-wedbush-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Tuesday wrote</a> that "saying we can just make this in the USA" understates how complex the supply chain in Asia really is—and how electronics, chips, semiconductors, hardware, and smartphones have been built for U.S. consumers over the past 30 years."

Pharma Industry Faces Jitters As Trump Hints At Historic Tariffs, BofA Outlines Probable Timeline

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NYSE">REGN</a>) short percent of float has risen 26.83% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.25 million shares sold short, which is 3.12% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.15 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744214430_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.48%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Gaining or Losing Market Support?

Several exemptions exist among President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broad tariffs</a>, which were announced on Wednesday. 
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump&#8217;s first term. Given its significant manufacturing presence in Europe, investors had feared global tariffs could disrupt the sector.
Morningstar <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/biopharma-industry-exempt-global-10-tariff-we-still-see-margin-tax-rate-risks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that with the U.S. importing approximately $200 billion in pharmaceuticals in 2024, a 10% tariff could have cost the industry $20 billion, with some of the largest firms facing annual tariffs of up to $1 billion.

Goldman Sachs expects continued volatility in the biotechnology sector (XBI and S&amp;P 500 are down about 14% and 7% year-to-date, respectively), driven by broader economic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">uncertainty and unclear healthcare policy</a>.
Analyst Salveen Richter has analyzed geographic exposure and tax rates for individual companies and sees Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) in the strongest position, followed by Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>), Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) and Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>).
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) raises some concerns due to its significant presence in Ireland. If tariffs are applied, they would likely increase the cost of goods sold since companies often import ingredients or finished products into the U.S.
Analyst Richter adds that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMGN" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amgen</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALNY" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alnylam</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIIB" rel="noreferrer noopener">Biogen</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/REGN" rel="noreferrer noopener">Regeneron</a> are the least exposed to Medicaid risk.
Goldman Sachs said Friday that it&#8217;s been hard to measure the exact impact of potential tariffs on U.S. biopharma due to limited public data on where drugs are made.
Their analysis shows limited manufacturing exposure to Canada, Mexico and China. Pharmaceuticals from Canada and Mexico are also likely exempt under the USMCA trade deal. However, some companies do rely heavily on manufacturing in the EU.
If tariffs are placed on drugs made outside the U.S. and kept in place, they could raise manufacturing costs. Companies often import ingredients or finished products before selling them in the U.S. Some manufacturers are reportedly speeding up shipments from Europe out of concern that tariffs may apply to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44440233/pharmaceutical-firms-say-uk-investment-is-unlikely-unless-payment-levy-is-adressed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">those products,</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44440233/pharmaceutical-firms-say-uk-investment-is-unlikely-unless-payment-levy-is-adressed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> too</a>.
Goldman Sachs is also watching for exceptions or phased rollouts, pointing to a similar eight-year grace period in the Biosecure Act.
Still, the analyst writes that biopharma companies are generally resilient due to their high profit margins and globally spread operations.
Companies that produce small-molecule drugs might handle a U.S. manufacturing shift better than those making biologics since small molecules require less complex production.
Senator Ron Wyden has raised concerns about Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) using offshore setups to reduce U.S. taxes.
