Strategic R&D Investments: A Tale of Two Companies

In the competitive landscape of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, strategic investment in research and development (R&D) is crucial. Over the past decade, Perrigo Company plc and Xencor, Inc. have demonstrated contrasting approaches to R&D spending. From 2014 to 2023, Perrigo's R&D expenses have seen a decline of approximately 20%, starting at 15% of their total expenses and dropping to around 12% by 2023. In contrast, Xencor, Inc. has aggressively increased its R&D spending by over 1,200%, reflecting a strategic pivot towards innovation and growth. By 2023, Xencor's R&D expenses accounted for nearly 25% of their total expenses, highlighting their commitment to pioneering new treatments. This divergence in R&D focus underscores the different strategic priorities of these companies, with Xencor betting heavily on future breakthroughs, while Perrigo maintains a more conservative approach.
