Abstract
Based on the ratios in Appendix A, it seems that biogen does not have a high profitability. The values of the ROE, ROA, and Earnings per Share ratios are all negative, and the Profit Margin ratio is only 1.2884%; however, when compared to its competitor, corixa Corporation, these numbers dominate. It is a trend of the industry to produce low ratios. biogen has a wider variety of products than its competitor, corixa. Most of the medications that they have are being tested and are not yet for sale, as with corixa, but biogen clearly has a wider variety of products on the market. This is quite an advantage considering that it takes a long time for new drugs to enter the market. The cash flows from operating activities amounts to $267,077 while the net income was only $199,148. The difference between these two numbers is $67,929. This indicates that biogen is gaining a substantial amount of money from other operating activities besides those that lead to an increase in net income. This indicates that they operate efficiently.
