RGEN - 3 Things Repligen Investors Need to Watch
It may not be as sexy as biopharmaceutical companies developing gene therapies or tailoring the next big cellular medicines, but Repligen (NASDAQ: RGEN) has certainly rewarded investors through its leadership position in bioprocess engineering. The stock has delivered a 10-year return of 1,420%, compared to "only" 238% for the S&P 500 when dividends are included.

It develops products and tools that help companies manufacture biological products more safely and efficiently, but it isn't directly linked to the binary risk-reward profile inherent to clinical trials.
