Shares of WW International (WW), better known as WeightWatchers, jumped nearly 25% Tuesday when the dieting services company announced it is offering a copycat version of blockbuster weight-loss drugs.
WeightWatchers said on Tuesday it is adding a compounded version of Novo Nordisk's obesity drug Wegovy to its weight-management programs.
WeightWatchers announced Friday that CEO Sima Sistani is no longer at the company, and independent board member Tara Comonte has stepped in to serve as interim CEO.
Sima Sistani, who took up the CEO post at WW International two-and-a-half years ago, is out, according to the company.
WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani is leaving the company after two and a half years. During that time, the company has radically altered its business model to stay competitive in the Ozempic era.
WW International, Inc. stock has lost almost 80% of its value since my previous article in March 2023, which I published soon after the company announced the Sequence acquisition. Expansion into clinical services poses risks of cannibalization and increased competition for WW International's core weight loss business. The strategic shift towards digital subscriptions and clinical services may limit WW International's potential for long-term competitive advantages and growth.
