Following ADA 2026 (June 5-8; New Orleans, LA), FENIX conducted a winners/not winners analysis, identifying the companies that came out on top, remained static, or trended in the wrong direction. As a glimpse into the analysis, Lilly (unsurprisingly) clearly came out on top, with the retatrutide pivotal data session filling the room beyond capacity. The ADA organization seemingly had the most negative outcome following the controversy around Steven Kahn’s removal from the event.
On the third day of the ADA 2026 conference, four cardiometabolic-related news items have been observed from Boehringer Ingelheim, Novo Nordisk, Lilly, and Insulet/EOFlow. Below, FENIX provides context and analysis for the respective news items, including the speculative potential for a 2-day EMDAC featuring survo + reta (spoiler alert: it’s not a 0% chance).
With ADA 2026 approaching (June 5-8; New Orleans, LA), FENIX has compiled a shortlist of key sessions and presentations that warrant close attention across the meeting.

Recently, Zealand announced topline 42-week results from the Ph2 ZUPREME-1 study, which evaluated petrelintide (QW SC amylin analog) in adults with obesity or overweight (previous FENIX insight). Following the announcement, Zealand’s share price declined -36%, reflecting investor disappointment in petrelintide’s weight loss efficacy (up to -10.7%), despite an otherwise favorable tolerability profile. Below, FENIX provides a thoughts-on analysis of the topline ZUPREME-1 data, including a deep-dive on how petrelintide’s benefit/risk profile compares to other amylin analogs in development, as well as why amylin may fall short of Zealand’s expectations for it becoming the next foundational AOM.
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. Of note, Novo will be hosting its 2026 Capital Markets Day on September 21 in London, UK. Below, FENIX provides highlights and insights from the Q4 ’25 earnings call.
Three cardiometabolic-related items have been observed: Zealand hosted its Q2 ‘25 earnings call (press release; slides); Lilly is reportedly increasing Mounjaro pricing in the UK to match EU pricing (view article); and Superluminal announced it entered into a drug discovery agreement with Lilly (view press release).
