Just weeks after its initial public offering, Fractyl Health is catching Wall Street's attention as the next potential biopharmaceutical darling. Analysts are highlighting the company's groundbreaking therapies that directly target the gut and pancreas to ultimately induce Type 2 diabetes maintenance and weight loss. "Growing evidence indicates the gut is a core regulator of metabolism, placing gut dysfunction as a root cause of metabolic disease. Indeed, emerging consensus links modern diets to changes in the gut and pancreas that in turn increase an individual's risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes and obesity," Ulz wrote. gut) root cause of disease, could result in a more durable, disease-modifying treatment, differentiated from current, more burdensome (i.e.

We discussed that for many people, the most powerful tools for medical weight management are the glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP1) agonists. As of 2024, insurance, not body weight or BMI, has become the most important vital sign for doctors who see patients for medical weight management. They really did transform a fairly barren landscape of pharmacotherapeutic options for medical weight management that lasted several decades. Weight loss is on average about 15% with Wegovy and 22% with Zepbound, with super responders losing more than 25% of their body weight. By comparison, other medications that are FDA-approved for weight loss, including Qsymia and Contrave, are combinations of much older drugs.

2023 wasn't a good year for the health-care sector, but some investors expect it to make a comeback this year — highlighting biotech and medical tech as areas to watch.

Citi's top picks in biotech include Biomea Fusion , Alnylam Pharmaceuticals , and Immunovant . Jared Holz, health-care sector strategist at Mizuho Securities Americas, named biotech firm Biogen as one of his top trading ideas for 2024.

BRAZIL - 2021/11/26: In this photo illustration a F. HoffmannLa Roche AG logo is seen on a screen and a hand holding a pill. (Photo Illustration by Rafael Henrique/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)Swiss pharmaceuticals giant Roche is set to acquire anti obesity drug developer Carmot Therapeutics, becoming the latest company to attempt to unseat Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly's dominance within the global weight-loss drugs market. The U.S. takeover target's early-stage technology could help crack highly prized oral obesity treatments, Roche Pharmaceuticals CEO Teresa Graham said Monday, but it may be several years before the drugs are widely available. The deal will provide Roche access to Carmot's current research and development portfolio, including all clinical and preclinical assets. Shares of the Swiss company, which have been in the doldrums this year, were up 2.25% following the news of the acquisition.

Medical device stocks of all kinds were pummeled over the past week as investors tried to calculate the ripple effects of new weight loss drugs. While the use of the GLP-1 drugs to treat obesity is still very limited at this point, it is expected to soar to a $100 billion market or more, by some estimates. Judging by the momentum in the stocks, investors have been betting that as people lose weight, there will be a decline in knee replacement surgery. A case for more knee surgery? Based on Truist's polling of 50 hospital administrators, the analyst expects the third quarter will show a slowing pace of knee replacement surgeries compared to the first half of 2023.

REUTERS/Hannah McKay/Photo Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 6 (Reuters) - Nestle (NESN.S) shares were under pressure on Friday as investors weighed the potential impact of Novo Nordisk's (NOVOb.CO) blockbuster weight-losing drug Wegovy and how it could reduce spending on food. The KitKat and Nescafe coffee maker's shares were down 2% and headed for their lowest level in more than two years. However, Cox does not regard this as a substantial risk to Nestle and the broader food industry in the long term. Bruno Monteyne from Bernstein also pointed to the Wegovy impact, but saw little logic in the sell-off. "Danone sells water, baby milk powder, and yogurt: not sure how those would be negatively impacted by GLP1 / Wegovy?"

Enter biotech startup Structure Therapeutics , which is hoping to change that regimen with oral GLP-1 formulations for obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment. The stock rallied 73% in its first day of trading, but has pulled back in the weeks since its debut. Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and Ozempic are currently on the market and approved to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. BMO was among the group of investment banks acting as joint book runners for Structure's IPO. (Jefferies was the lead book runner in Structure's IPO.)
