Piper Jaffray analyst Joshua Schimmer said Biogen's plan to spin off its hemophilia business as an independent, publicly traded company doesn't help transform the company's growth outlook and "is a bit perplexing." Schimmer wonders if there is a "deeper strategic purpose" to the plan, perhaps as part of positioning the company for some sort of transaction. The firm reiterates a Neutral rating on Biogen shares.
