Biogen Inc (NASDAQ: BIIB) has been a huge winner for many years now, rising from below $40 in 2008 to over $475 in recent weeks, with only one decline of over 20 percent during that time.
With that kind of price appreciation, it should not be a surprise to anyone that the company's valuations are very, very rich at this point – even after the recent little pullback.

Technicians note that Biogen shares have come down sharply off of the recent peak, but that there still may be some more downside left before the selling is all done. They do note, however, that Biogen could bounce for a few days before that downside momentum ramps up again.
Resistance for any rally will come in at Wednesday's downside gap open at $449.06.
Above that, the closing high from March 20 at $475.98 may come into play.
In terms of downside targets, the first target would be the short-term uptrend line at $401.79. Below that, horizontal line support at $355 or so would be the next destination for a falling Biogen.
Overall
Biogen has nearly perfect fundamentals with huge cash flows, fat margins, a clean balance sheet and strong management effectiveness metrics. However, for those strong "fundies," they're paying a major premium in terms of valuation.
If the company continues to execute fundamentally, any short-term dips in price in Biogen shares will continue to be bought by eager buyers. The first target for such buying will likely be at $401.79.
