"Like clockwork, Amgen just finds a way," Piper Jaffray's Christopher Raymond headlined his hot comment on second-quarter earnings from Amgen Inc. Numbers from the Thousand Oaks, Calif-based company were solid, if not spectacular. Quarterly revenues increased 4 percent, to $6.1 billion, over the second quarter of 2017, and global product sales, which included the company's first biosimilar, Kanjinti, grew 2 percent.
