Top 10 Biopharma Companies Report

Amgen continues to rule the Top 10 Biopharma rankings, but 2005 saw a couple of players make great strides. Genentech and Gilead continued to post huge gains (+46% each) on the strength of their oncology and HIV drugs, respectively.

Chiron also eked its way back into the billion-dollar ranks after its vaccine-manufacturing disaster in 2004, but it wasn’t enough to help the company stay independent; the company was bought by Novartis and will disappear from this chart next year.
