The statements from the $NOVO B (+0.83%) management team this morning confirms the point about the "shadow market" and that the number of post GLP 1 patients contributing to sequelae is much larger than most think.
It's important to note here that I don't think this has any negative implications for Eli Lilly $LLY (+1.62%) has. On the contrary, it actually offers more market share.
-> Which is why, among other things, I am convinced that Eli Lilly is a $1B company, but do not hold a position myself.
The earnings call from United Health $UNH (-5.41%) I think made two things clear.
1) Value based care is the future
2) UNH is bad at implementing it itself
Quotes from the earnings call from $UNH (-5.41%)
(In case anyone is interested)
1): "Value-based care has the potential to transform healthcare. Yet even as we struggle to align this model with new funding dynamics, it consistently delivers better outcomes"
2): "We are early in our value-based care journey. We know we have real and self-inflicted executional challenges, and we bear the responsibility to get this right, recognizing that urgent work lies ahead... We are evaluating our position in each market. We will shift risk back to the original underwriters until we have the hardened capacity to navigate it under value-based constructs."
