My prediction The most likely scenario to happen is the third one, in my opinion. I predict Viking Therapeutics will be acquired over the next two years. I wouldn't be surprised if a takeover deal is announced later in 2024. Which big drugmaker might acquire Viking? There are lots of possibilities. Whichever large biopharma company sets its sights on Viking will need a hefty sum to complete the buyout. The scenario where Viking is thriving 10 years from now is more likely than the scenario where it's struggling. Viking's management and shareholders know this. And I suspect all of Viking's potential suitors know it, too.

Scenario No. 3: Non-existent There's also another scenario where Viking Therapeutics stock no longer exists. I don't think the company will fail and go out of business. However, it could be gobbled up by a bigger drugmaker. Many large biopharmaceutical companies are eyeing the massive market opportunities in obesity and NASH. If they aren't, they should be. Viking could be an attractive acquisition target for any companies that are either behind the pack in clinical development for these indications or don't currently have a pipeline program targeting obesity or NASH.

Scenario No. 2: Struggling The second scenario isn't so rosy. It's possible that Viking Therapeutics could be struggling 10 years from now, with its stock reflecting the company's challenges. How could this happen, considering the huge opportunities we previously discussed for VK2735 and VK2809? In a word, competition. As promising as Viking's drugs appear to be right now, rivals could develop much better therapies. There's certainly no shortage of companies vying to grab as much share of the obesity and NASH markets as possible. Current weight-loss leaders Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk especially stand out. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals recently won FDA approval for the first NASH drug. Several other drugmakers are developing obesity and/or NASH drugs as well.

Scenario No. 1: Thriving Viking Therapeutics could be worth much more than its current market cap in 2034. It's not hard to envision a scenario where the company and its stock are thriving. After it announced great phase 2 results for VK2735, Viking said it planned to talk with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the next steps for the drug's development. I suspect those discussions will lead to a relatively quick advancement of VK2735 into phase 3 testing. If we assume that a phase 3 study of VK2735 takes around two years to complete, Viking could be in a position to file for FDA approval of the drug by late 2026. VK2735 would then possibly be on the market in 2027 if all goes well. William Blair analyst Andy Hsieh thinks the drug could achieve peak annual sales in the ballpark of $14.4 billion in the U.S. and $7.2 billion in Europe. Based on a price-to-sales ratio of 6 times (which is a little lower than the current average multiple for biotech companies), Viking's market cap could be around $130 billion -- more than 17 times higher than the current level. We can't forget Viking's other pipeline candidates, though. The company is evaluating VK2809 in treating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). I think the drug could be another megablockbuster for Viking if it's ultimately approved.

Where Will Viking Therapeutics Stock Be in 10 Years ?

Viking Therapeutics Inc. Date Announcement After specifying an announcement date for VK2735 - (VENTURE) trial results, Viking Therapeutics now has three catalyst announcements planned. Viking Therapeutics plans to announce top-line results for their Phase 2 trial on March 31, 2024. The community is currently bullish on the prospects of progression, as the bulls outnumber bears by seven to one. Viking Therapeutics zoomed up $1.83 (+2.89%) to $65.18 on typical volume today. It is now up $53.55 (+460.4%) over the past year. The increase today improved the results for this week, which were still down $1.92 (-2.86%). We’ll have to see what kind of effect the catalyst will have on Viking Therapeutics' currently stellar analyst ratings. At the moment, all nine analysts have a 'buy' grade (or equivalent), and they set the stock’s target price at $98.11.

Furthermore, VKTX has unusual options activity, with a flurry of buyers of April 90 calls. 👍😉

Die Biotech-Kraftpakete Eli Lilly (LLY) und Novo Nordisk (NVO) sind die ersten massiven Gewinner in der Bereich und haben die Revolution der Gewichtsabnahme ausgelöst. Am 27. Februar hat sich die Aktien von Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) jedoch in einer einzigen Sitzung mehr als verdoppelt, nachdem sie eine Phase-2-Studie für ihr neues injizierbares Medikament zur Gewichtsreduktion erhalten hatten. Obwohl sich LLY und NVO als große Gewinner erwiesen haben und wahrscheinlich auch weiterhin sein werden, hat I VKTX aus den folgenden Gründen viel mehr Vorteile: VKTX hat das überlegene Medikament VKTX zeigte 13% Gewichtsverlust über eine 13-wöchige Behandlung (ohne Plateau), während LLY und NVO viel länger (32-48 Wochen) brauchten, um etwas bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen (15-20% Fettverlust). Darüber hinaus verzeichnete VKTX weniger Nebenwirkungen als seine Konkurrenten. Laut Phase-2-Ergebnissen hatte VKTX nur eine Übelkeitsrate von 17% (im Vergleich zu 30-45% für LLY & NVO) Relativ Kleine Größe/Übernehmen Ziel Novo Nordisk und Eli Lilly haben jeweils eine Marktkapitalisierung nördlich von 500 Milliarden Dollar, während Viking eine Marktkapitalisierung von nur 7 Milliarden Dollar hat. Da die Branche so viele Vorteile hat, ist VKTX ein offensichtliches Ziel zum Mitnehmen. Diagramm + UOA Nachdem es mit positiven Ergebnissen explodiert ist, konsolidiert sich VKTX einheitlich und testet seine geringe Lücke - ein Bereich, der wahrscheinlich Käufer finden wird. Darüber hinaus hat VKTX ungewöhnliche Optionsaktivitäten, mit einer Flut von Käufern von Anrufen im April 90. Fazit Eine steigende Fettleibigkeitsrate und der Wunsch nach einer schnellen Lösung treiben die aufkeimende Gewichtsverlustindustrie voran. VKTX wird am meisten davon profitieren. https://www.zacks.com/amp/commentary/2243036/time-to-be-overweight-viking-therapeutics

Nein. Auf Finanznachrichten habe ich nichts brauchbares gefunden und ansonsten muss man ja extrem aufpassen, dass es kein Bauernfänger wird.

Gibt es nähere Infos zu dem "grossen Stein" 😉?
