  • Viking Therapeutics Shares Rise Amid Valuation Debate Over Growth Potential
    January 23, 2026, 6:32 AM EST. Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) shares closed at $34.09, up 6.9% over the past week. Despite a 1-year shareholder loss of 2.4% and negative returns year-to-date, long-term investors have seen gains over three years. The stock trades at a price-to-book ratio of 5.4x, above biotech peers and industry averages, suggesting a premium valuation on its drug pipeline and assets despite $0 revenue and a $237.394 million net loss. The company remains unprofitable with a negative return on equity of 33.29%. However, a discounted cash flow model estimates an intrinsic value of $276.49 per share, implying a significant discount to market price. Investors must balance clinical trial risks against potential future cash flows in assessing VKTX's value.
