Shares of Amgen (AMGN 0.02%) are down by 6% in the last 30 days as I write this -- a larger-than-normal amount for a large pharma company's stock to fall, especially considering that the market rose nearly 3% in the same period.

Amgen's MariTide shows up to 20% weight loss in Phase II, leaving room for improvement beyond 52 weeks, as weight loss did not plateau. GI side effects are a concern, but Amgen plans to address them through dose escalation strategies. The convenience of monthly or less frequent dosing leads to a differentiated profile. MariTide's potential as the first monthly treatment for type 2 diabetes enhances its competitive edge.
