Pfizer stock dips as CEO says obesity-drug cash-pay demand looks “almost like Viagra”
Pfizer shares fell 0.8% to $25.27 after CEO Albert Bourla compared the obesity drug cash-pay market to Viagra’s early days. The company, which acquired Metsera for up to $10 billion, aims to start up to 10 Phase 3 trials for Metsera’s GLP-1 drug by end-2026. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk shares rose, while Pfizer trails rivals in the obesity market.
