Why this Eylea biosimilar settlement matters for Alvotech (ALVO)
Alvotech (ALVO) has reached a worldwide licensing and settlement agreement with Regeneron and Bayer over its aflibercept biosimilar, securing rights to manufacture and supply the product across key global markets.
The deal sets out specific launch windows from early 2026 in the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and the European Economic Area, with a previously agreed fourth quarter 2026 license entry date for the U.S., subject to regulatory approval.

Investors have already reacted to the settlement, with a 1 day share price return of 2.46% taking Alvotech to US$5.42. This capped a year to date share price return of 8.40%, but it came alongside a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 56.33%, indicating that momentum has been rebuilding only in the very short term.
If this kind of legal win has you thinking about where else growth stories could emerge in healthcare, it might be worth scanning healthcare stocks as a starting point for fresh ideas.
With Alvotech trading at US$5.42, sitting on a large implied discount to analyst price targets and a mixed recent return profile, the real question is whether this Eylea deal leaves upside on the table or if the market is already pricing in future growth.
Most Popular Narrative: 75.5% Undervalued
Alvotech’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at about $22.17 per share versus the last close at $5.42, setting up a wide gap investors will want to understand.
Ongoing launch and approval pipeline activity, including upcoming regulatory decisions in major global markets (for AVT03, AVT05, AVT23, and others), positions the company to tap into blockbuster biologic markets coming off patent, potentially driving a step change in topline revenue once approvals are secured.
Curious how this pipeline view translates into that higher fair value estimate and still uses a discount rate near 8%? The growth, margin, and earnings assumptions behind it are anything but ordinary. The full narrative lays out a detailed roadmap that the current $5 handle does not fully reflect.
Result: Fair Value of $22.17 (UNDERVALUED)

However, those upside assumptions collide with real pressure points, including FDA inspection issues at Reykjavik and heavy reliance on milestone payments that can shift or stall.
