Market Movers rounded up the best reactions from investors and analysts on Biogen . The experts discussed the biotech company after the Food and Drug Administration approved its Alzheimer’s treatment Leqembi , paving the way for broader Medicare coverage. The drug slowed cognitive decline in trials, but poses risks of brain swelling and bleeding and comes with a $26,500 per year price tag.
