Amneal raised 2026 revenue guidance to $3.1–$3.2 billion, adjusted EBITDA guidance to $750–$780 million, and EPS guidance to $0.96–$1.06.
- The pending Kashiv acquisition is expected to create a fully integrated biosimilars platform, with more than 20 programs and potential launches including Xolair, Orencia, Cimzia, and Stelara.
