$VKTX [1 of 2] @dagster01 Dagster- You are right! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for writing your very succinct and truthful post. I know it was partially directed towards me and that is why I’m replying directly. If this was years ago, I would likely have been the person writing your post. But the world has change so very quickly and I guess my typical balanced demeanor has been affected by the chaos around us. Luckily, living in NYC I have been generally sheltered from the devastating trauma that many have dealt with over the last months, weeks, days. My guess is that the conversations I have had with friends over the past week+ just caught up with me prior to replying to the post: * Doctorate-level American friends strongly considering leaving the country or having already left (3). * Friends who have saved for two decades questioning if they should spend $80,000 a year to send their child to a college in 2027+.

$VKTX when BL speaks , he is not conservative. He is sometimes as ass .. He Used to be different a couple of years ago. But one thing you don’t need to worry about , he is not caving in to BP. That is probably most critical as we he will get shareholders the best possible deal. I am happy Bourla called it “ crazy demands “. Otherwise Bourla would have bragged for years about stealing VK assets. BL is not VERVE CEO giving out great assets to Lilly for free

$VKTX TZP half life 5 days. Vk2835 8.5 days. It can make a difference. Particularly with orals that can accumulate. Could be more difficult to make TZP oral. We don’t know if $LLY attempted. If orfoglipron shows liver toxicity ( my estimate 1/300 pts ) …again If. Lilly will find itself behind here. $GPCR could show ALT > x5-10 at 1-100-200 .. will see. I could be wrong here. AZN orfor like molecule had one case of liver toxicity in phase 1. Look at exposure. I think VK2735 could be slightly exaggerated on this modeling as phase 2 had more females. But if it beats by 1% at 12 wks. It can make a difference long term. This is what $NVO needs.

$VKTX none of the pumper math has ever worked. If they go at it alone, they will have 175M shares outstanding because they need a lot more capital. 5% of $100B peak sales is just $5B. 3x revenue is $15B which is only $85/share. In 2031!!! If BL is turning down $70/share offers right now then he's an idiot.

$VKTX Preach on, Bag. Less than zero chance of a deal, any deal, at this SP. Maintenance readout might move it enough to make some kind of partnership palatable, certainly not enough for a full BO. BP not entertaining 500% stock premium deals. But a partnership not BL's first choice and he's made it clear hes not entertaining lowball offers. Grab a comfy spot on the couch 4Q'27

$VKTX I would think it’s also better to be on the drug and eventually switch to maintenance then to have your entire digestive system severely altered by surgery. I’d rather start with the drugs. I have severe at times GERD and I have been on Prilosec and Pepcid for 8ish years. I’ve thought about surgeries (there are a couple different ones) but I dont want to go thru the stress. The Prilosec Pepcid works 90% of the time. If I get a flair I take 1 tums and things are fine.

$VKTX Just a quick real life reminder for those NOT on Obesity Meds, on a 10 day trip, last maintenance shot of Zep 9 days ago, hunger is back, like I was never on the drug. Purposely did not bring Zep as a test. I will be on this, (hopefully VK2735 Oral) for the rest of my life!! This category is not a take it and you are done drug. This is a Life altering forever drug. Ask anyone currently on obesity meds if they plan to quit, NO ONE will say yes. The TAM is HUGE, the money I’m saving on food is the $349 every 2 months for Zep. If you are on it YOU KNOW, if not ask someone who is! Very Encouraged and Bullish! GLTA!!

$VKTX ⛔️ Disclaimer: This post is not based on facts; it is purely my personal opinion and speculation. Please do not use it as financial advice. Let's assume that multiple Big Pharma companies are throwing out lowball offers to acquire VKTX on the cheap, and BL (Brian Lian) is holding out for a premium, which is why a deal hasn't been made yet. From what I know, BL is a very conservative and cautious guy when he speaks. If someone like him lacked confidence in the pipeline, he would have sold VKTX at a discount a long time ago. But the fact that no deal has been made yet tells me BL has absolute conviction in his pipeline. He knows that once the Phase 3 and maintenance dosing data come out positive, the company's valuation will be significantly higher.

Bagholding_VKTX Mar. 21 at 4:29 AM

$VKTX This is exactly why there has not been a deal yet made with Viking. A lot of people here have been advancing this thesis for a long time, I'm thinking most notably of @biolover Now we have confirmation of what has been said here. Big Pharmas are trying to leverage the current low share price of Viking and are sending offers based on today's share price. Not really on what VK2735 has the potential to become. This is a big, big, big mistake. They are basically penny-pinching here. Even if they paid 10x Viking's current valuation, at peak sales, they could break-even in a year. The reason why they are afraid to do so however is bad optics. See how Pfizer's management got clowned on for years after the Seagen deal? That's what they're trying to avoid. Again, massive mistake. This is what I like about Brian. As a shareholder, I KNOW for a fact that he will not let me down and accept a lowball offer. Hence, the "crazy demands" comment from Bourla in 2025. Extremely bullish.
