Thoughts on The TrumpRx Launch: The Future Booking.com of Obesity Drugs?

The White House recently launched TrumpRx.gov (view website), an online platform that allows consumers to search for the lowest available cash-pay prices for their prescription medications (view image below). Importantly, the website itself is not the direct point of purchase for consumers; instead, it is a central hub that informs patients of the available out-of-pocket pricing options before redirecting them to purchase the drug by what appears to be two contrasting pathways (discussed below). Below, FENIX outlines how TrumpRx operates, its potential value creation, and why the platform may disproportionately benefit AOM manufacturers.

Novo Headwinds to Persist in 2026; Q4 ’25 Earnings Updates

Novo Nordisk hosted its Q4 ’25 earnings call (view press release; view slides) and provided updates across its diabetes and obesity business. Of note, the company’s stock is down ~20% following lower than expected FY 2026 sales guidance of -5% to -13%, vs. the Street’s low-single-digit expectations (view article). Management attributed the outlook to increased incretin pricing pressure, intensifying US competition, and ex-US patent expiries.
