$VKTX i often see chatter speculating on why VKTX has not yet been purchased. i believe the answer is quite simple - the data released to date (while fantastic) is relatively limited; the longest completed study is 13w. i believe this would be more than enough if BL/VKTX were asking for 12-15b, but it is very obvious they want much more, and i have long been skeptical that a deal would make considering this disconnect and the valuation gap that exists. while VKTX's high ask price is very justifiable assuming the pipeline is as good as it seems, for risk adverse BP to pay a price that high requires more certainty than is currently available, imo. while the ongoing vk2735 ph3 data is key in providing that certainty, i believe the upcoming maintenance data (which will provide the best official preview of ph3 results yet) and ph1 on VK3019 will be enough to potentially bridge the gap between the high ask price and BP's risk adverse offers. also, regardless of a BO, we should see ATHs.

$VKTX M&A, it's the fastest money, thus it brings you the most value. And it's such an interesting case. Essentially, no bid big enough has been made yet, or we would have heard, but we know that some of these players don’t really have a choice but to make a move at some point. See PFE literally sweating out 10 Phase III trials on a barely performing drug to find some entry into the market. Ingelheim Böhringer is struggling with safety. The market is huge, but getting in is really tough as it takes forever to run trials, and acquisition options are limited.

There are multiple possible reasons for the current $VKTX valuation. 1. There is no Phase III data, so the asset is still fairly early. 2. Many funds don’t enter a company that is pre-revenue at all, which might make it difficult to keep up a higher market cap, since large funds make markets efficient 3. The oral version of the drug has seen really high dropout rates, which might concern some investors.

$NVO Monopoly Power: Success in Phase IIIa for oral semaglutide (ages 10-17) secures a monopoly on 20.9M adolescents with zero competition. Approval expected in H2. Regulatory Moat: The FDA’s move to ban compounded GLP-1s (503B list) will force a massive volume of patients back to official $NVO products, expanding margins instantly. Pipeline & M&A: Beyond weight loss, Coramitug (ATTR-CM) has FDA Fast Track. Plus, massive cash flow makes $NVO the prime candidate to acquire players like $VKTX to dominate the oral market. Global Scaling: The GLP-1 market is hitting $200B+ by 2035. Rapid adoption in China/Brazil and new indications (CVD, Alzheimer’s) fuel a massive long-term narrative.

Another reason why someone will acquire $VKTX $PFE tried to launch an oral version but discontinued it due to safety concerns. With its new Subquantatious drug, it is struggling to achieve efficacy above 12% over 28 weeks, and is starting 10+ phase III trials, although the injections are weekly to monthly, which is an advantage for PF-08653944. The extreme Phase III studies show how desperately big players want a piece of this market. It's growing, and it might be one of the biggest markets for pharma. I am going to post my GLP-1 market analysis on Substack tomorrow. Follow me so you don't miss it.

$VKTX Revisting this statement from NVO CEO from January at the JP conference…… ‘’Doustdar said he’s often asked how high he’ll go in pursuit of the next big thing. “There is no next amount,” he said in a presentation at the conference. “It could be 20, it could be 30, it could be 40. We could afford it, but it has to be worth it.” https://financial-post.com/pmn/business-pmn/novos-ceo-is-ready-to-go-very-big-in-hunt-for-obesity-deals

$VKTX im still watching? Haven’t learnt anything yet. Doesn’t look like this trading at $34. 10 mins for them to sell it off under $32 though. Shorts have full control. Play their game. Sell and buy back cheaper on any move forward.

$VKTX Is this a sentiment-driven move — or a fundamentals repricing? VK2735 oral formulation has been confirmed as a peptide rather than a small molecule. Following comments from the $NVO CEO, the stock reacted sharply, but it remains debatable whether the move is fully supported by fundamentals. In these news-driven moves, short-term sentiment often amplifies the gap between perceived value and underlying reality. Free sharing and subscription 👉 @StockMacroView.
