After Regeneron (RGEN) and Bayer (BAYRY) announced they are partnering to co-formulate EYLEA + anti-Ang2 antibody nesvacumab, Piper Jaffray analyst Edward Tenthoff said the continued cooperation of the two companies is key to Regeneron maintaining its lead in ophthalmology. Tenthoff keeps a Neutral rating on Regeneron, noting that the company has guided for only 20% EYLEA sales growth this year and that Praluent's launch has been even slower than expected.
