Amgen Adds $300M to Puerto Rico Plant, Raises Full-Year Earnings Guidance
Amgen announced an additional $300 million investment in its Juncos, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility — bringing its total committed capital at the site to $950 million. The Juncos plant exports medicines to more than 60 countries, making it a critical node in Amgen's global supply chain. Alongside the investment announcement, the company also raised its full-year earnings guidance.
The guidance raise is the most immediate signal for shareholders — it suggests Amgen's management sees stronger profitability ahead, which tends to support the stock price. The manufacturing investment also positions Amgen favorably in the current political environment, where U.S. policymakers are pressuring pharmaceutical companies to keep production domestic. That reduces regulatory and tariff risk for the company going forward.
Amgen Q2 2025 earnings call (expected late July 2025): management will detail exactly how much guidance was raised and update the manufacturing investment timeline. Watch also for any White House or HHS announcements on pharmaceutical tariffs, which could further reward companies with U.S.-based production.
