The company also noted it would be entitled to terminate the Pfizer merger agreement if Novo’s proposal continues to constitute a superior proposal.Pfizer, however, maintains that Novo's offer cannot be considered a superior proposal, given the significant regulatory risk, among other factors.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MTSR">MTSR stock</a> stayed within the ‘extremely bullish’ territory over the past 24 hours, while message volume stayed at ‘extremely high’ levels.MTSR stock has more than doubled this year.&nbsp;Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/serina-therapeutics-stock-slumps-premarket-after-fda-place-hold-on-application-to-initiate-clinical-trials-for-experimental-therapy/cL2NcnCR3zB">Serina Therapeutics Stock Slumps Pre-Market After FDA Places Hold On Application To Initiate Clinical Trials For Experimental Therapy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

A maintenance dosing study is currently underway to assess how best to sustain weight loss over time.&nbsp;Viking also plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA in the first quarter of 2026 for its next program targeting the amylin receptor, a mechanism that could complement GLP-1 and GIP therapies by improving appetite control and weight regulation.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Stocktwits Users See Viking At Center Of Pfizer–Novo Rivalry&nbsp;</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Viking was ‘extremely bullish’ amid a 200% jump in 24-hour message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:969/139;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/vktx_ss_jpg_85eeea1fb9.webp" alt="vktx ss.jpg" width="969" height="139"><figcaption>VKTX sentiment and message volume as of October 31 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Some traders speculated that Novo Nordisk’s renewed bid for Metsera may be tied to competitive pressure from Viking’s obesity program.
