The brokerage said that Viking’s obesity pipeline could help address two major challenges facing next-generation GLP-1 therapies: speed of efficacy and long-term patient adherence.Viking’s flagship obesity candidate is VK2735, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist being developed in both injectable and oral formulations for obesity and metabolic disorders.&nbsp; According to Truist, Viking’s therapies have demonstrated the ability to drive 14.7% weight loss in just 13 weeks, with patients still continuing to lose weight rather than hitting a slowdown point. The firm also said Viking’s plan to develop both injectable and pill-based versions of its treatment could help the company serve a wider range of patients and make long-term treatment easier to maintain.&nbsp;Truist also highlighted Viking’s flexible dosing and titration strategy, which the firm believes could enable greater personalization while potentially reducing gastrointestinal side effects that continue to affect discontinuation rates across obesity therapies.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Investors Reward LLY’s GLP-1 Momentum</h2>Investor sentiment across the obesity-drug sector remained heavily tilted toward Lilly after another wave of bullish developments from its expanding weight loss franchise. The company briefly crossed the $1 trillion market cap milestone on Wednesday after continuing to benefit from surging demand for Zepbound and Mounjaro.Lilly recently raised its 2026 sales outlook after first-quarter revenue jumped 56% to $19.8 billion. CFO Lucas Montarce also said that Lilly plans to continue global obesity-drug launches despite uncertainty around the Trump administration’s proposed Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) drug pricing policy, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-28/lilly-vows-global-drug-launches-despite-pricing-pressure">noted</a>.Montarce said that obesity competition with Novo is helping expand the broader treatment market rather than simply shifting share between companies. “It would be harder to have only Lilly moving this large class,” Montarce said. “We feel actually having a competitor as well helps to mobilize more patients.”Attention has additionally shifted toward Lilly’s oral obesity pill Foundayo after the drug received FDA approval in April. Montarce said more than 80% of current demand is coming from new patients rather than existing obesity-drug users.This week, Lilly announced deals worth up to $3.8 billion to acquire three vaccine developers as it expands deeper into infectious diseases and long-term healthcare infrastructure. Investor interest for Lilly’s pipeline also intensified after the company’s triple-acting obesity drug Retatrutide showed up to 28% weight loss in late-stage data, potentially setting a new efficacy benchmark across the industry.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Novo Pushes Back Against LLY’s GLP-1 Lead</h2>Novo Nordisk CEO Mike Doustdar Mike Doustdar acknowledged during a recent Wall Street Journal interview that Lilly’s Zepbound gained momentum partly because it pushed efficacy levels beyond earlier obesity therapies.Still, Doustdar said that the industry’s long-term focus will eventually shift away from pure weight-loss percentages toward broader health outcomes for cardiovascular disease, kidney health and liver conditions.“When is the last time you found a single person anywhere that you know of that died from obesity?” Doustdar said. “You die from heart attack. You die from kidney failure. You die from fatty liver.” The Novo CEO also defended the company’s obesity strategy by saying that investors may currently be overfocused on small efficacy differences between competing drugs.“While today everyone is obsessed with the magnitude of weight loss and 1% or 2% up and down on that moves people's share prices dramatically, I will promise you that five years from now that will be part of the dialogue and not the main part,” Doustdar said.Novo has increasingly leaned into oral obesity drugs as a major competitive advantage after the launch of its Wegovy pill generated more than 1.3 million prescriptions during the first quarter. Doustdar called Novo the “pill leader in the world” while stressing that many obesity patients prefer pills over injections.“There are people that have been waiting and waiting and maybe with envy,” Doustdar said. “They simply didn't want an injection.” The company also announced major U.S. price reductions for Wegovy and Ozempic from next year as Novo attempts to defend market share, while broadening access.Additionally, Doustdar said that Novo’s obesity pipeline will remain highly competitive, pointing to the company’s triple-agonist candidate UBT251 and saying that early comparative data appear favorable against Lilly’s Retatrutide.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About LLY, NVO, VKTX?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around LLY, NVO and VKTX was broadly ‘bearish’, with LLY seeing ‘normal’ message volume, while NVO and VKTX recorded ‘low’ chatter.&nbsp;One user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/LLYBULL/message/654569592">said</a>, “Healthcare is going to converge towards s&amp;p and LLY is going up with a multiple.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Marvell shares dropped 2% in Thursday’s premarket session.</li><li>Results and guidance driven by “strong demand across a broad set of Marvell solutions," CEO Matt Murphy said.</li><li>Stocktwits sentiment for MRVL shifted to ‘extremely bullish,’ from ‘bullish.’</li></ul>Marvell Technology shares&nbsp;dropped nearly 2% in early premarket trading on Thursday, despite the company reporting fiscal first-quarter revenue that surpassed expectations and raising its long-term outlook.The move appears to reflect a “sell the news” reaction, similar to what was seen following strong earnings reports from Nvidia, Micron, and others this earnings season. It also suggests some degree of profit-booking by investors seeking to capitalize on the stock’s sharp gains in recent months.Still, retail traders grew more bullish on MRVL and eyed long-term positions. On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment turned ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bullish,’ with the 24-hour message volume for the stock rising 575%.“$MRVL solid call, great guidance. Long-term hold,”&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/2Stonky/message/654562153">said</a> a trader.

The adjusted profit of $0.80 per share came in line with expectations.The company forecast second-quarter revenue of $2.7 billion, plus or minus 5%, compared with expectations of $2.6 billion, and profit of $0.93 per share, compared with the $0.90 target.The bigger draw, however, was the forecasts for the following years. In March, Marvell said it expected fiscal 2027 revenue to grow more than 30% to $11 billion and fiscal 2028 revenue to approach $15 billion. The company revised those on Wednesday: fiscal 2027 would grow 40% to nearly $11.5 billion, and fiscal 2028 revenue would grow 45% to $16.5 billion.The updated guidance "is being driven by strong demand across a broad set of Marvell solutions," Marvell CEO Matt Murphy said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">MRVL Stock Move, Analyst View</h2>As of their last close,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MRVL">MRVL shares</a> had risen 134% year to date. Currently, 38 of 44 analysts have a ‘Buy’ or higher rating on the stock, five rate it ‘Hold,’ and one rates it ‘Strong Sell,’ per Koyfin. Their average price target of $165.53 is 17% lower than the stock’s last close.&nbsp;“The Data Center segment remains the primary growth engine, generating $1.833B (+27% Y/Y, +11% Q/Q) and representing 76% of total revenue,” CFRA Research said in an investor note. “We believe strength is coming from AI-related bookings across 800G/1.6T scale-out optics, 51.2T Ethernet switches, and custom XPU solutions.”The research firm said it believes Marvell’s acquisitions of Celestial AI and XConn contributed to the results and position MRVL to capitalize on emerging optical interconnect opportunities.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The SUV shares several premium tech features with the company’s ET9 sedan, including Nio’s NT3.0 platform and 900-volt architecture, while delivering nearly 700 horsepower and advanced steering systems, ChinaEVHome&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://chinaevhome.com/2026/05/28/nio-shares-jump-9-3-as-es9-orders-beat-expectations/">reported</a>.Investor optimism got a boost after the ES9 generated over 50,000 pre-orders ahead of launch.

Shen called smart EVs the convergence of electrification, intelligence and automotive technology, while positioning the new L60 as a key entry point into Nio’s AI ecosystem.The current L60 launched in 2024 and offers up to 740 kilometers of driving range across multiple variants.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Shenzhen Auto Show Puts China EV Race In Focus</h2>The latest developments come ahead of the Shenzhen Auto Show, which is expected to become one of China’s biggest automotive events this year after the record-setting Beijing Auto Show that ended earlier this month. Major Chinese EV makers including BYD, XPeng, and Leapmotor are also expected to unveil major products and technology updates during the exhibition.&nbsp;Nio has accelerated refreshes across both its premium lineup and the Onvo mass-market brand as competition intensifies around pricing, AI features and delivery growth.
