User Image ChessGM Posted - 2 hours ago

$VKTX Upcoming earnings: 10/23/2024, Bullish (8.3) Viking Therapeutics, Inc. has been generating significant interest in the biotech sector, particularly in the context of its promising pipeline and upcoming developments. Recent articles indicate that the company's stock has performed well, exceeding market returns and experiencing a notable rise of 29% over the past three months. The bullish sentiment surrounding VKTX is largely driven by positive updates from its clinical trials, particularly for its novel weight-loss treatments, which analysts believe position the company favorably against established competitors like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Wall Street analysts maintain an optimistic outlook, with many recommending VKTX as a buy, supported by JPMorgan's overweight rating and a price target of $80 per share. This enthusiasm is bolstered by increasing institutional ownership, suggesting that large investors are confident in Viking's future prospects. However, the recent reduction in holdings by State Street Corp raises some questions about the stock's immediate trajectory, although it appears to be more of a strategic portfolio adjustment rather than a bearish signal. Viking Therapeutics is set to report its third-quarter financial results on October 23, 2024. Investors are keenly anticipating this release, as it will provide insights into the company's ongoing trials and future pipeline developments. Given that Viking is currently in the spotlight for its innovative treatments, the upcoming earnings report will likely focus on advancements in its clinical programs, especially those related to metabolic and endocrine disorders. Investors are hopeful that the results will reflect positively on the company's performance and potentially impact its stock price favorably. Follow us!

$VKTX Question posed on X today: Are any/all of $VKTX's submissions for Obesity Week under embargo until 11/3 (when embargoes are lifted) such that the company will be limited in what it can say at its coming quarterly reporting this week? A: Company can't share the data because it's embargoed.. but they can definitely provide vague hints. Like the data was amazing.. best in class. Etc. • Don’t take it as Gospel- but it seems accurate due to these guidelines: https://obesityweek.org/abstracts/embargo-policy/

$VKTX Regarding SC VK2735, we’re expecting detailed data from the Phase 2 VENTURE trial to build on the impressive topline results announced in February, which showed an impressive ~13% placebo-adjusted weight loss in 13 weeks with a generally clean safety/tolerability profile. We expect that the VENTURE data presentation at ObesityWeek will include new data from the 6-week follow-up period, which we suspect will be supportive of $VKTX prior commentary to explore monthly dosing – a potentially significant differentiator that could add real-world flexibility. VKTX has guided to advancing SC VK2735 directly into a Phase 3 program pending an end-of-phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with FDA in 2H24...." (Part 2 of 2)

User Image Elevator_up Posted - 10 hours ago

$VKTX Leerink:" ObesityWeek 2024 Preview: $VKTX will present two late-breaking posters on November 3rd featuring new clinical data for both oral and SC VK2735 – we expect these data will build on initial results showing compelling weight loss and an attractive safety/tolerability profile. Based on the data presented to date, we view oral VK2735 as a top contender among the oral obesity landscape, and believe that strong data at ObesityWeek could further strengthen $VKTX’s strategic value. At the conference, we will be looking for further dose-dependent weight reductions with the higher dose cohorts, while maintaining a well-tolerated and potentially differentiated safety/tolerability profile via less frequent and/or milder GI AEs relative to competing oral compounds.

That means Roche is now minimum 1.5 years behind Viking with a drug that is more toxic and potentially even less effective The big bust will unfold later this year with Amgen likely disappointing data . They have not even commented on a date for phase 3
