Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 91% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published September 11, 2025
Shares fell after headlines about a lawsuit and a possible corporate change, but an independent reviewer said Wegovy and Zepbound are worth the cost, which supports long-term value. The drop looks overdone and early signs suggest buyers may be returning. If the price climbs back above 56-57, we expect a rebound over the next 0-3 months. We will start small and add once the move is confirmed to manage legal and budget risks.
Primary drivers
- Leader in weight-loss and diabetes drugs with strong, growing demand
- Price fell hard recently; early signs buyers are stepping back in
- Recent negative headlines pushed shares down, creating a potential entry
- Court cases and healthcare budget limits could weigh on future growth
