Viking Therapeutics jumped to the top of Stocktwits’ trending tickers after a burst of weekend retail chatter tied to deal speculation, rotation flows out of Eli Lilly, and near-term trial milestones.&nbsp;The stock traded nearly 4% higher in overnight trade on Sunday, while retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.Users pointed to profit-taking in large caps and rotation into Viking, floated the idea of a potential approach from Lilly, and argued that shares are being re-rated since Metsera’s buyout&nbsp;by Pfizer created a perceived price floor for peers.Several&nbsp;watchers on Stocktwits highlighted the company’s next catalyst path. Interest centered on the planned subcutaneous-to-oral maintenance study, which CEO Brian Lian said on a Bernstein call is slated to begin “late this quarter or early next quarter.”&nbsp;Some saw intrigue in the design and flagged a possible “sell-the-news” setup, while others anticipated updates on spend and Phase 3 enrollment on the upcoming earnings call and kept partnership or buyout scenarios “in play.”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/saifnila2/message/631119435</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/saifnila2/message/631074611</stembedurl>Last month,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/viking-therapeutics-stock-boost-pfizer-metsera-deal-btig-retail-slams-rivals-inferior-pipelines/chDhieAR3P5">BTIG suggested that Viking is benefiting from Pfizer’s agreement</a> to acquire Metsera, which expands Big Pharma's appetite for cardiometabolic assets. The research firm reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating with a $125 target, citing sharpened strategic optionality following recent M&amp;A, while Roche’s takeover of 89bio reinforced expectations for continued deal activity across the obesity and NASH pipelines.Retail voices remained split on strategy. Some argued Viking should not “go it alone,” given its lean headcount and would be better served by a larger commercial partner. Others framed the setup more broadly, citing pipeline breadth, potential rate-cut tailwinds, patent positioning, and a “David vs Goliath” narrative that could keep both institutions and retail engaged.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Reaperofmars1/message/631069156</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/LastResort/message/631074413</stembedurl>Investors also revisited&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/viking-short-interest-hits-5-year-high-after-weight-loss-drug-stumble/chss46sRdKN">the August data on oral VK2735</a>, noting a double-digit mean weight loss at 13 weeks, with tolerability viewed as manageable,&nbsp;although not as pristine as in the early studies.&nbsp;Several analysts, including B.

Shares of Viking Therapeutics rose 3.4% to $26.25 on Monday and extended gains after hours,&nbsp;with a Wall Street research firm suggesting the biopharma is benefiting from Pfizer’s buyout offer for Metsera as it looks to bolster its obesity drug pipeline.BTIG reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating and $125 price target on&nbsp;Viking’s stock, saying the transaction sharpens&nbsp;the company’s&nbsp;clinical updates and strategic optionality while bolstering sentiment ahead of key readouts.

If three clinical milestones are achieved, additional payments of $22.50 per Metsera share will be made, bringing the total value of the deal to as much as $7.3 billion. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, pending approvals.Metsera, a clinical-stage biotech developing therapies for obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, will add four differentiated programs to Pfizer's pipeline. The assets include weekly and monthly injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists, two orally delivered GLP-1 candidates, and MET-233i, a monthly injectable amylin analog. The company previously discontinued its own obesity candidate Danuglipron.Viking was also in the spotlight, with Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Equities,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/danielnewmanUV/status/1970178447411683535">posting on X</a> that Viking’s valuation “just got a massive shot in the arm with the Pfizer deal to buy Metsera,” describing Metsera’s GLP-1 program as “a far less exciting GLP” and arguing that Viking is “worth far more than $7.2 billion.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘extremely bullish’ for both Pfizer and Metsera amid ‘extremely high’ message volume, while Viking drew ‘bullish’ sentiment alongside ‘high’ activity.One bullish user said Viking management had likely rejected lowball offers from large pharma, leaving rivals to acquire ‘inferior pipelines.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/deerhtide/message/629602680</stembedurl>Another pointed to debate over whether Viking should pursue a buyout or go-it-alone strategy, adding that CEO Brian Lian’s stake of more than two million shares aligns him with investors.

Metsera Stock Surges 59% Pre-Market After Pfizer Confirms Acquisition – Here Are The Details

The upfront purchase price of $47.50 per share implies a premium of 43% from Metsera’s closing share price on Friday.

Pfizer is reportedly preparing to buy weight-loss biotech Metsera in a deal that could be worth as much as $7.3 billion.The New York-based drugmaker would apparently pay $47.50 a share upfront and another $22.50 tied to milestones, a sharp premium to Metsera’s recent price of $33.32. An announcement could come as early as Monday, barring last-minute delays, according to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/aee4a71c-7ad6-4cde-852f-720a97542fac">report</a>,&nbsp;which cited two people familiar with the matter.The move comes after Pfizer scrapped its own obesity drug candidate, danuglipron, earlier this year. Metsera, which is listed in one of 2025’s biggest biotech IPOs, has drawn interest across the sector with MET-097i, a GLP-1 therapy that produced 11.3% weight loss over 12 weeks in a mid-stage trial.&nbsp;The company is also developing a monthly version of the shot, an amylin-based treatment aimed at avoiding muscle loss, and an oral pill. Pfizer shares, now worth about half their 2021 pandemic peak, closed Friday at $24, valuing the company at $136 billion.&nbsp;CEO Albert Bourla has been under pressure to reignite growth, with Pfizer’s last major deal being the $43 billion purchase of cancer drugmaker Seagen in 2023. A Metsera acquisition would put it in direct competition with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, whose blockbuster GLP-1 drugs Zepbound and Wegovy are expanding into pill form.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for both Pfizer and Metsera was ‘bullish’, with message volume ‘normal’ for Pfizer and ‘high’ for Metsera.One user&nbsp;labeled the reported deal value&nbsp;a “lousy premium” to Metsera’s recent trading levels and argued the company’s management may be selling too cheaply. The user added that Pfizer may have avoided a bigger gamble on Viking Therapeutics ahead of late-stage trials.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/biolover/message/629465706</stembedurl>Another bullish user said that the acquisition could ultimately be seen as an $80-per-share buyout opportunity.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/vu_jade/message/629466433</stembedurl>While&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PFE">Pfizer’s stock</a> has declined 4.6% so far in 2025,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MTSR">Metsera’s stock</a> has risen 25.7% over the same period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
