Pfizer (PFE) stock rises as CEO calls obesity push a “Viagra”-scale bet, with earnings next in focus

Pfizer Inc shares climbed about 2% to $25.65 on Wednesday following CEO Albert Bourla’s remarks on the company’s push into the rapidly expanding cash-pay obesity drug market. “We are all in on obesity,” Bourla told reporters at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Pfizer plans to launch 10 Phase 3 trials for its Metsera obesity compounds by the end of 2026, aiming to fuel future growth.
