Viking Therapeutics is positioned for a pivotal 2026, advancing both injectable and oral VK2735 in obesity, with pipeline depth from an emerging amylin agonist program. VKTX's oral VK2735 has demonstrated unmatched double-digit weight loss in 13 weeks, potentially establishing leadership in the oral obesity drug segment. Despite a robust $714M cash position and a 4/5 conviction rating, risks include Phase III trial costs, competitive pressures, and potential dilution.
Viking Therapeutics' shares jump 34% as rapid VK2735 trial enrollment boosts optimism amid intensifying interest in obesity treatments.
