Pfizer (PFE) Clinches $10B Metsera Deal, Beating Novo Nordisk — What the Winning Bid Means for the Obesity-Drug Race (Nov. 8, 2025)
Pfizer will acquire Metsera for up to $10 billion after Metsera accepted a revised cash-and-CVR offer late Friday, ending Novo Nordisk’s competing bid. Metsera’s board cited U.S. antitrust risks with Novo’s proposal following FTC feedback. Pfizer will pay $65.60 per share plus a contingent value right of up to $20.65. A shareholder vote is set for Nov. 13, with closing expected soon after.
