Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

What if a single pharmaceutical intervention regime could not only sustainably shrink your waistline but also cure your Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)? This seems too good to be true. Yet, Eli Lilly and Company's (NYSE: LLY) Tirzepatide GLP-1 drug seems to have achieved just that. Eli Lilly and Company’s "Tirzepatide Led to a Mean AHI Reduction From Baseline of 62.8% Compared to 6.4% From Baseline for Placebo," as per the Results of the SURMOUNT-OSA Study 2. To wit, Eli Lilly and Company has now announced the results of two studies that investigated the impact of its Tirzepatide GLP-1 offering on […]
Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) has added billions of dollars in market capitalization over the ongoing craze around the GLP-1 anti-obesity and anti-diabetes drugs. However, the Danish pharma giant's most recognizable weight loss drug, Wegovy, is increasingly looking like a stepping stone instead of the promised panacea for the obesity pandemic. For the benefit of those who might not be aware, the GLP-1 hormone plays an important role in suppressing hunger and regulating the production of insulin and glucose. After a meal, GLP-1 agonists raise the level of insulin, which decreases blood glucose levels. Simultaneously, these drugs reduce the speed at […]
The soaring demand for GLP-1 weight loss drugs is no longer just an American or European phenomenon. As these drugs proliferate through an ever-increasing segment of the globe's obese population, the GLP-1 heavyweights such as Eli Lilly and Company and Novo Nordisk continue to reap outsized rewards. The Ozempic effect: According to Goldman Sachs, the reduction in obesity-related health concerns could boost U.S. GDP by 0.4% to 1% with widespread uptake of weight-loss medications — Julian Klymochko (@JulianKlymochko) March 3, 2024 GLP-1 drugs can induce significant weight loss by suppressing hunger and regulating the production of insulin and glucose.

There is a reason why biotech is considered a very volatile sector. After all, fortunes are made and destroyed within a few seconds in this sphere, dictated by the outcome of clinical trials for experimental therapies. Fortunately, over the past few days, we've received some very encouraging news on two unrelated but equally important vectors for improving the overall quality of human life: a new gene therapy that has the potential to significantly extend the human lifespan and a new oral GLP-1 weight loss drug candidate from Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX). Viking Therapeutics’ Oral GLP-1 Weight Loss Drug Is Out […]
The GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon has graduated from a largely theoretical solution to the obesity pandemic to a hardcore economic reality with real-world ramifications. Gone are the days when these drugs were posited as merely a single vector in dealing with the worldwide obesity crisis. Instead, the accelerating adoption of GLP-1 drugs is now giving rise to critical commercial tailwinds that are transforming entire economies. For the benefit of those who might not be aware, GLP-1 drugs can induce significant weight loss by suppressing hunger and regulating the production of insulin and glucose. Novo Nordisk uses Semaglutide as its […]
Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) can become the first biopharma company to reach the $1 trillion valuation threshold, courtesy of an under-trial orally administered GLP-1 drug, Orforglipron, as per the latest investment note from Morgan Stanley. $LLY Eli Lilly Has Upside, May Reach $1 Trillion, Says Morgan Stanley (Bloomberg) - PT raised to a Street-high $950 from $805; shares closed at $757.78 on Thursday pic.twitter.com/0LgV0KfrLv — Christian Fromhertz 🇺🇸 (@cfromhertz) February 16, 2024 To wit, Morgan Stanley's Terence Flynn sees Orforglipron's phase three trial results, due in 2025, as a key catalyst for Eli Lilly and Company, paving the […]
Hardly a week seems to go by without something positive emerging from either Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) or its other major competitor, Novo Nordisk (NVO), on the prospects of the GLP-1 weight loss drugs. The ongoing week has again held true to this emerging bullish regimen, with Eli Lilly garnering significant positive developments in the battle to counter Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH, previously known as Nonalcoholic Ateatohepatitis or NASH). For the benefit of those who might not be aware, MASH is a fatty liver disease that develops most often due to metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes. This accumulation […]
If you weren't already aware, GLP-1 weight loss drugs from the likes of Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly and Company are the biotech sphere's new craze, managing to rope in seasoned analysts who appear to be salivating at the prospect of billions of dollars in additional revenue streams. Yet, the hype seems to have lost some of its patina recently. TD COWEN: “.. surprised to see two months in a row of declines in the number of people who describe themselves as current users of GLP-1s. .. We believe this is a function of capacity constraints .. Penetration rates may […]
The market for weight loss drugs is big enough to allow a plethora of competitors to thrive, as per the prevailing thesis. And we are not just talking about GLP-1 agonists from heavyweights such as Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly and Company but also newer concoctions, including Amylin-based treatment that is being championed by Zealand. However, it is the unusual agility that is being demonstrated by the reigning Goliaths in this sphere that continues to limit the ascendancy of upstarts. As our regular readers would know, we maintain a generally positive view of weight loss treatments that leverage GLP-1 agonists. […]
The burgeoning hype around GLP-1 weight loss drugs as a panacea for the obesity pandemic has propelled Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) shares to previously unimaginable zeniths while leaving Pfizer (PFE), a former darling of the pharma world, in the proverbial dust bowl. One of the most eye-opening charts you'll see right now, this shows Eli Lilly's $LLY price to sales ratio vs Pfizer's $PFE price to sales ratio over time. Lilly is up to 18x versus Pfizer's 2x. The two were roughly the same in early 2021. pic.twitter.com/g9ycAWBEiM — Bespoke (@bespokeinvest) January 19, 2024 As is shown in the […]
Novo Nordisk is currently plowing billions of dollars into new facilities to satiate the rip-roaring demand for its GLP-1 cocktail Wegovy. Yet, a sizable supply-demand gap persists, prompting the pharma giant to flag the possibility of "supply disruptions" in the near term. To wit, Novo Nordisk has now announced via a supply update that it has resumed the shipments of 1.7 mg dose strength Wegovy GLP-1 cocktail in the US following a "short-term stock-out." Bear in mind that 1.7 and 2.4 mg dose strengths are primarily geared toward weight loss maintenance. However, the company chose to flag the potential for […]
