Viking Therapeutics Acciones Foro

$VKTX (+0,32 %)
Oral VK-2735 side effects + comparison

I assume that if $LLY (+5,07 %) and $NOVO B (+0,73 %) do not follow suit $VKTX (+0,32 %) will become the new market leader.

It could even be that Viking will be the only provider of an effective and well-tolerated weight loss pill for a long time.

Viking is very likely to bring the next two really big blockbuster drugs onto the market. Since the market has been waiting for such blockbusters for a long time, the valuation will be correspondingly high.

Should the share price fall again, take a look at all the GLP-1 pipelines and Viking.

VK2735 with excellent results

VK2735 (weight loss pill) from Viking Therapeutics $VKTX (+0,32 %) delivers. At a dose of 100mg, testers lost an average of 8.2% of their body weight over 28 days. VK2735 is not only very effective but also well tolerated.

$VKTX (+0,32 %)

Once again unusually lucky.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can only repeat: too bad I have no idea about certificates. 🤓

Some capital has just been freed up and I've made the purchase I've been putting off for the longest time. In my opinion, Viking has the most promising GLP-1 product, and the company may even be bought out.

Novo Nordisk share - start of a correction at the all-time high. Increasing competitive pressure from Eli Lilly and Viking Therapeutics. Product pipeline and takeovers.
