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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
One of the biggest hurdles to the mass appeal of a new class of GLP-1 weight loss drugs remains their sky-high prices. Insurance coverage, however, is playing a fundamental role in addressing these affordability concerns, with Eli Lilly and Company coming out today with important price updates for those with insurance coverage in the US. Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, or GLP-1 for short, plays an important role in regulating hunger. These drugs stimulate the release of insulin in the pancreas, block the unhelpful release of glucagon after meals to prevent excess glucose from entering the bloodstream, and slow gastric emptying to reduce […]
GLP-1 weight loss drugs and the ongoing advances in the AI sphere are currently two of the biggest thematic plays that Wall Street is relentlessly championing, facilitating a phenomenal influx of capital in companies that are seen as beneficiaries of the upheaval that the proponents of these nascent technologies argue is just around the proverbial corner. Recently, GLP-1 drugs from the likes of Novo Nordisk (NVO) and Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) have been billed as a blessing in disguise for the airline industry and a harbinger of doom for the fast food sector. Can a single drug really induce […]
With around $100 billion in annual sales by the end of this decade up for grabs, the GLP-1 drug war for the global waistline is heating up. Around two weeks back, Novo Nordisk created a media spectacle out of a study that claimed its GLP-1 weight loss drug could slash death risk from heart disease by up to 20 percent. This salvo was apparently fired in response to the steeply discounted price at which Eli Lilly and Company began marketing its own GLP-1 drug. Well, today, the American pharma giant is again attacking Novo Nordisk's proverbial front lines, resplendent in […]
A price war waged by big pharma usually works in the favor of consumers, in the short term at least, or until the victor captures the market and establishes a monopoly. Eli Lilly and Company unveiled its opening gambit earlier this week by pricing its GLP-1 weight loss drug at a substantial discount to a competing offering by Novo Nordisk. The Danish pharmaceutical giant has now responded by hyping up the results of a critical trial. Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, or GLP-1 for short, plays an important role in regulating hunger. This hormone forms the bedrock of Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy […]
