Amgen Stock Recovers After Addressing Weight-Loss Drug Concerns

Amgen's stock rebounded after concerns about its weight-loss drug MariTide causing bone mineral density loss were deemed "overdone" by analysts. Despite a 7% stock drop due to initial fears, experts argue that significant weight loss often correlates with reduced bone density. Amgen maintains confidence in MariTide, with Phase 2 trial results expected later this year. Analysts note that while rival drugs from Eli Lilly and Viking Therapeutics may offer bone health benefits, the impact of MariTide remains uncertain pending further data.

Amgen Shares Plunge on Concerns Over Obesity Drug's Bone Density Impact

Amgen's stock fell 7% after reports suggested its weight-loss drug, MariTide, may be linked to bone mineral density loss. Analyst Olivia Brayer maintained an overweight rating but highlighted concerns over a dose-dependent increase in bone density loss. This poses a significant risk for Amgen, as MariTide competes with similar drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. The potential side effect could affect the drug's commercial viability, especially as competitors' drugs may increase bone density.

"Study finds higher Parkinson's risk in women with low BMD"

A large-scale study in Korea found that postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), have an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The study included over 270,000 women and revealed that individuals with osteoporosis had a 40% higher risk of Parkinson's compared to those with normal BMD. However, the use of medications to treat osteoporosis significantly reduced this elevated risk. The findings suggest that proper management of BMD in postmenopausal women may help prevent Parkinson's disease.
