## Resource

Pfizer is betting big on weight-loss drugs, unveiling promising data for berobenatide—a once-monthly shot that slashed 16% of body weight in trials. Acquired for $10 billion, the drug could disrupt the market dominated by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, offering a major advantage over weekly injections. Beyond weight loss, Pfizer sees potential in diabetes, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. With its manufacturing muscle and experience from blockbuster drugs like Viagra, Pfizer aims to turn obesity treatment into a sustainable revenue stream—and possibly a personalized, cancer-like approach to tackling the booming obesity market.
