Industry coverage tracks the money around peptides: Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk earnings, pipeline shifts, M&A, IPOs, peptide CDMO capacity, and the telehealth and pharmacy economy that GLP-1s built.
The two stories that keep moving the most market cap: how fast oral GLP-1s reach approval (orforglipron, oral semaglutide, oral wegovy, danuglipron's exit), and what happens to the compounded-peptide channel as the FDA tightens. Hims, Ro, LifeMD, GoodRx, and Amazon Pharmacy have all rerouted distribution in the past year. Behind them, contract manufacturers like Bachem, PolyPeptide, and BASF have been the bottleneck no one talked about until they were.
Stories here name the company, the deal, and the dollars. Earnings, partnership, regulatory hit — whatever moved the share price gets covered.
Ascendis Pharma (NASDAQ: ASND) reported Thursday August 13, 2026 Q2 2026 financial results with product revenue of €315 million (+105% year-over-year). YORVIPATH (palopegteriparatide, a TransCon parathyroid hormone peptide analog for chronic hypoparathyroidism) delivered €252 million on consistent new patient demand in the US and continued ex-US global launch expansion with full reimbursement in additional markets. SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin, a TransCon growth hormone peptide for pediatric growth hormone deficiency) delivered €55 million. YUVIWEL (TransCon C-type natriuretic peptide for achondroplasia) delivered €8 million with more than 220 US patient enrollments through July 31, 2026. Total Q2 revenue reached €339 million (+100% YoY) including €24 million in collaboration and milestone income. The YUVIWEL launch positions Ascendis directly against BioMarin's Voxzogo (vosoritide) in the same achondroplasia pediatric indication, opening a new front in the CNP peptide analog commercial category. YORVIPATH's €252 million quarterly revenue trajectory suggests a $1+ billion annual run-rate for the peptide franchise by end of 2026, a notable rare-disease peptide launch magnitude. Ascendis's TransCon platform uses a transient linker chemistry to release parent drug over an extended half-life, allowing weekly dosing of peptides that natively have short in vivo lifespans.
Samsung Biologics' all-cash tender offer to acquire PolyPeptide Group AG for CHF 44.31 per share (CHF 1.46 billion / $1.8 billion, representing a 40% premium to the undisturbed share price of CHF 31.65) continues to progress. The formal tender offer prospectus is expected to be published by end of August 2026 and will remain open for a minimum of twenty trading days on the SIX Swiss Exchange following a ten trading-day cooling-off period under Swiss takeover law. PolyPeptide's largest individual shareholder Draupnir Holding B.V. (owning approximately 55.65% of shares outstanding) has committed to tender all of its shares into the offer. PolyPeptide's independent Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders accept Samsung Biologics' offer. The transaction would substantially expand Samsung Biologics' peptide CDMO manufacturing footprint beyond its existing antibody and antibody-drug conjugate focus, positioning the combined entity to address the rapidly growing peptide therapeutics demand particularly in obesity and diabetes GLP-1 therapies (Novo Nordisk Wegovy and Ozempic, Eli Lilly Zepbound and Mounjaro), amylin analogs (cagrilintide), and next-generation combination peptide drugs. PolyPeptide operates commercial-scale peptide API manufacturing across the US, Europe, and India. Closing is expected towards the end of 2026 subject to a minimum acceptance threshold of 66⅔% and applicable regulatory approvals.
Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) shares fell approximately 6% Thursday August 13, 2026 on broker downgrade citing continued franchise-gap pressure from Eli Lilly's tirzepatide franchise (Mounjaro + Zepbound) and the CagriSema head-to-head miss against tirzepatide. Specifics: CagriSema (cagrilintide 2.4 mg plus semaglutide 2.4 mg fixed-dose combination) reached 23.0% weight loss at 84 weeks versus tirzepatide 15 mg's 25.5% in the REDEFINE 4 head-to-head Phase 3 trial published in early August 2026. The August 4 H1 2026 earnings release raised full-year 2026 sales guidance to down 3% from a prior down 8% midpoint at constant exchange rates. The broader investor narrative continues to focus on Novo's ability to defend GLP-1 franchise economics against Eli Lilly's Q2 2026 $23 billion revenue blowout (+48% year-over-year), Foundayo (orforglipron) $98 million first commercial quarter, and retatrutide's 28.7% Phase 3 TRIUMPH-4 weight loss result at 68 weeks. Analyst attention now shifts to Novo's Wegovy 7.2 mg higher-dose FDA review, the amycretin oral amylin monotherapy Phase 1b program (roughly 22% weight loss at Week 36), and next-generation candidates in Novo's pipeline. Investors are also watching the CagriSema FDA decision expected late 2026 and whether the label expansion strategy can offset the competitive pressure.
BioSpace published a feature on August 12, 2026 profiling Insilico Medicine CEO Alex Zhavoronkov, synthesizing a running theme across 2026: the AI-native drug discovery platform has crossed the threshold from software vendor to pipeline sponsor. Insilico now has 31 developmental candidates on its Pharma.AI platform (which spans target validation, generative chemistry, and molecule optimization for target-to-candidate discovery). The 2026 partnership deal tally includes the March 2026 Eli Lilly collaboration granting Lilly an exclusive worldwide license to a portfolio of preclinical oral therapeutics with Insilico eligible for up to $2.75 billion in payments plus tiered royalties, the June 2026 SK Biopharmaceuticals deal worth more than $2.5 billion for neuroimmune conditions development, and the July 2026 Takeda strategic collaboration across multiple therapeutic areas. Insilico also completed a $110 million financing round earlier in 2026 to advance its platform and pipeline. The pipeline itself includes peptide, small molecule, and biologic candidates across oncology, fibrosis, and metabolic indications. The story extends the broader debate on whether AI-assisted drug discovery is a substantial productivity shift or an incremental improvement over existing chemoinformatics and structural biology tools; Insilico's deal-flow record is one of the strongest empirical arguments on the substantial-shift side of that debate.
Boulevard Bio emerged from stealth on Wednesday August 12, 2026 with $65 million in founding financing from Deerfield Management, naming Georg Schett (one of the pioneers of immune reset in autoimmune disease) as co-founder. The company disclosed a precision-immunology pipeline of three drug candidates anchored by BLVD101, an internally discovered dual BAFF/APRIL-targeting bispecific antibody. Mechanism: BLVD101 is designed to inhibit BAFF (B-cell activating factor) and APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand), two cytokines that promote the proliferation, survival, and maturation of B cells that drive autoimmune disorders. By blocking both cytokines simultaneously, BLVD101 aims to limit the abnormal B cell activity that attacks healthy tissue in autoimmune diseases. Early Phase 1 healthy volunteer data supports a 12-week (quarterly) subcutaneous dosing interval for BLVD101 in IgA nephropathy (IgAN), a positive tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile that would compare favorably against monthly-dosing biologics in adjacent indications. The launch extends the IgAN indication activity that Trutakna and Fabhalta opened up earlier in 2026 with their FDA approvals ten days apart in the same indication category, though those two drugs target the complement pathway (factor B, C5) rather than the B-cell BAFF/APRIL axis that BLVD101 addresses.
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) shares fell approximately 6% after hours Monday and extended the decline into Tuesday August 11, 2026 trading despite Q2 2026 revenue of $753.2 million (+38% year-over-year, beating $698.9 million consensus) and Q3 guidance of $890 million at the midpoint (+12.4% above analyst expectations). The GAAP loss of $0.37 per share ran well below analyst estimates, and gross margin compression to 64% (from 76% year-ago) hit its fourth consecutive quarter of decline. Q2 net loss reached $86.3 million versus $42.5 million net income in Q2 2025. The compounded-to-branded GLP-1 pivot through the Novo Nordisk (Wegovy, Ozempic) and Eli Lilly (Zepbound, Mounjaro) commercial partnerships since Q1 2026 continues to drag unit economics. Full-year 2026 guidance was raised to $3.1-3.3 billion revenue and $275-325 million Adjusted EBITDA. The market appears to be pricing the compounded-to-branded pivot as a durable margin drag rather than a transitory transition; the July 29 FTC lawsuit alleging consumer health data sharing with Meta and Snap plus unauthorized billing charges remains a substantive overhang. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anant Vinjamoori's July 23 PCAC harm-reduction testimony framing continues to shape the peptide-strategy narrative for the stock.
Rhythm Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RYTM) reported on the August 4, 2026 Q2 2026 earnings call that the US launch of IMCIVREE (setmelanotide) in the newly-approved acquired hypothalamic obesity indication has recorded more than 400 patient start forms since FDA approval in late June 2026. Setmelanotide is a synthetic alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) analog peptide that activates the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) to produce appetite suppression; the peptide is administered as a daily subcutaneous injection. The launch ranks among the stronger rare-disease peptide launches of the year to date and extends the melanocortin-agonist franchise beyond the original rare genetic obesity syndromes (POMC, LEPR, PCSK1 deficiency) that IMCIVREE was initially approved for in 2020. The acquired hypothalamic obesity indication addresses patients with hypothalamic damage from brain tumors (particularly craniopharyngioma), radiation therapy, surgery, or trauma that disrupts normal melanocortin signaling and leads to severe obesity with dysfunctional appetite regulation. The therapeutic story is mechanistically adjacent to but distinct from the alpha-MSH gray-market use of melanotan II (which activates the same broader melanocortin receptor family for tanning and appetite suppression); setmelanotide has substantially more selectivity for MC4R specifically, an established safety monitoring program, and full FDA approval under the rare-disease pathway. IMCIVREE full-year 2026 revenue guidance is expected to reflect the acquired hypothalamic obesity launch trajectory.
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) reported Q2 2026 earnings after market close Monday August 10, 2026. Revenue reached $753.2 million (+38% year-over-year), beating consensus of $698.9 million. US revenue was $621.8 million (+16% YoY); international revenue climbed to $131.4 million (+17-fold year-over-year) aided by the completion of the Eucalyptus acquisition in June 2026. Subscribers grew to approximately 2.9 million (+19% YoY). The company raised full-year 2026 guidance to $3.1-3.3 billion in revenue and $275-325 million in Adjusted EBITDA. Net loss was $86.3 million versus $42.5 million net income in Q2 2025 as gross margin compressed to 64% from 76% year-ago; the compression reflects the strategic pivot from compounded GLP-1s (higher margin) to branded GLP-1 supply (lower margin) through Novo Nordisk (Wegovy, Ozempic) and Eli Lilly (Zepbound, Mounjaro) commercial partnerships since Q1 2026. The FTC lawsuit filed July 29 alleging the company shared consumer sensitive health information with Meta Platforms and Snap Inc. through embedded tracking technologies and separately alleging unauthorized billing charges (with Los Angeles County and Utah as co-plaintiffs) remains a substantive overhang. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anant Vinjamoori's July 23 PCAC harm-reduction testimony framing continues to shape the post-PCAC peptide-strategy narrative.
The post-PCAC telehealth peptide competitive landscape continues to shape investor attention. Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) Q2 2026 revenue of $753.2 million (+38% YoY) reported Monday August 10 after market close positions Hims as the largest US telehealth peptide-strategy sponsor. LifeMD (NASDAQ: LFMD) has approximately 310,000 active telehealth subscribers per recent investor materials, with 2025 revenue guided at $265-275 million. Ro and Henry Meds round out the large-player telehealth set. Key institutional commenters supporting the July 23-24, 2026 FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) 6-of-7 vote recommendation included the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, Empower Pharmacy, American Institute for Compounded Therapeutics, Texas Pharmacy Association, real-world data platform Peptide AI, and the American Academy of Peptide Medicine. The July 23-24 vote recommendation (BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, Semax, Epitalon approved 6 of 7; Emideltide/DSIP rejected) sets up the prospective legal compounding channel once FDA rulemaking completes (typically 12-24 months per PCAC-recommended substance). Enforcement context: the FDA issued 40+ warning letters and 100+ cease-and-desist notices to compounders and telehealth companies in 2024-2025 (the single largest enforcement action in compounding-pharmacy regulation history), and by March 2026 the FDA had sent warning letters to 30 additional telehealth companies with total enforcement actions exceeding 125 warning and untitled letters. The February 2027 PCAC second-peptide meeting (LL-37, GHK-Cu, dihexa acetate, melanotan II, PEG-MGF) will further shape the compounding landscape.
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) reports Q2 2026 earnings Monday August 10, 2026 after market close under the shadow of the July 29, 2026 Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lawsuit. FTC allegations: the company shared consumer sensitive health information with Meta Platforms, Snap Inc., and other online advertising platforms through embedded website tracking technologies (pixel-based cookie/session tracking) without meeting informed-consent requirements; and separately, that the company charged some patients for prescriptions they did not order. Los Angeles County and Utah joined the FTC as co-plaintiffs, expanding both the geographic exposure and the potential remedy set. HIMS shares dropped 10% on the July 29 announcement. Bank of America analyst Allen Lutz reiterated Hold and cut the price target to $30 from $37 on FTC-lawsuit uncertainty, characterizing the outcome as a small-fee base case. Wall Street consensus for Q2 2026: $698.9 million revenue (+28.3% year-over-year) and -$0.05 diluted EPS loss versus the +$0.17 year-ago quarter. Options traders are pricing an approximate 14.5% post-earnings move in either direction. Analyst focus areas: peptide-compounding revenue trajectory (Leerink pegs $440M peptide sales for full-year 2026), FTC lawsuit financial and operational impact, and branded GLP-1 partnership contribution since Q1 2026.
The Precision Peptide Company (CSE: BPC, OTCQB: PNGAF) announced the August 2026 launch of the Peptide Pen, its second commercial product following the existing BPC-157 transdermal patch. The Peptide Pen is a precision injection delivery device for peptide administration, designed to serve both the consumer-facing injection convenience segment and the provider-directed compounded peptide prescription segment. The launch positions the Canadian peptide company to address multiple channels in the peptide delivery ecosystem: over-the-counter (OTC) peptide products where FDA regulation permits, compounded peptides prescribed by state-licensed 503A pharmacies where the July 23-24 FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) 6-of-7 recommendation (BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, Semax, Epitalon) sets up substantial commercial expansion once FDA rulemaking completes (typically 12-24 months), and precision injection dosing for adherence-sensitive peptide protocols. The device announcement extends the transdermal-plus-injectable format strategy the company has been developing since the BPC-157 transdermal patch launch. Peptide delivery devices represent a small but growing segment as the broader peptide compounding market matures through the post-PCAC regulatory pathway.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ: BMRN) Q2 2026 earnings detail: VOXZOGO (vosoritide, C-type natriuretic peptide analog administered as a daily subcutaneous injection for achondroplasia in pediatric patients) delivered $253 million in revenue (+14% year-over-year) despite facing its first U.S. competitor, Ascendis's once-weekly Yuviwel (navepegritide), approved in February 2026. Approximately 90% of US pediatric patients on VOXZOGO therapy remained on treatment through July, addressing prior investor concerns about competitive pressure. Management now expects VOXZOGO to reach at least $1 billion in annual sales, making it BioMarin's first product to achieve the blockbuster threshold. Broader Q2 2026 revenue of $990 million (+20% YoY) beat consensus by a wide margin; non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.54 beat $0.23 consensus. The Amicus Therapeutics acquisition integration adds GALAFOLD (migalastat for Fabry disease) and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA (cipaglucosidase alfa plus miglustat oral chaperone for late-onset Pompe disease) to the BioMarin rare-disease portfolio, with $220 million in non-GAAP cost synergies expected to be fully realized by 2028. The Amicus deal also positions BioMarin to accelerate non-GAAP diluted EPS accretion beginning 2027 with the integrated commercial and manufacturing infrastructure absorbing GALAFOLD and Pompe franchises. BioMarin raised full-year 2026 guidance on both revenue and non-GAAP diluted EPS.
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) reports Q2 2026 earnings Monday August 10, 2026 after market close under the shadow of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lawsuit alleging the company shared consumer sensitive health information with third-party advertising platforms without meeting HIPAA-compatible informed-consent requirements. Wall Street consensus: $698.9 million revenue (+28.3% year-over-year) and approximately -$0.05 diluted EPS loss versus +$0.17 EPS in the year-ago quarter. Bank of America analyst Allen Lutz cut the HIMS price target to $30 from $37 (maintaining Hold), citing FTC-lawsuit uncertainty with a small-fee base-case framing. Options traders are pricing an approximate 14.5% post-earnings move in either direction. Analyst focus areas beyond top-line numbers: post-PCAC peptide-compounding revenue trajectory (Leerink estimates $440 million peptide sales in 2026 representing 15% of the projected revenue midpoint); FTC lawsuit financial and operational impact; branded GLP-1 (Wegovy/Ozempic/Zepbound/Mounjaro) commercial partnership contribution since Q1 2026; and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anant Vinjamoori's July 23 PCAC harm-reduction testimony framing for the Hims peptide strategy narrative. Truist analysts have cautioned that substantial peptide revenue is unlikely before 2028 even with the PCAC advisory support given the 12-24 month FDA rulemaking timeline.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ: BMRN) reported Q2 2026 financial results after market close Thursday August 6, 2026 with total revenue of $990 million (+20% year-over-year), approaching the $1 billion quarterly threshold. Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.54 beat the $0.23 analyst consensus. Growth drivers: continued commercial strength of Voxzogo (vosoritide, C-type natriuretic peptide analog administered as a daily subcutaneous injection for achondroplasia in pediatric patients); contribution from the completed Amicus Therapeutics acquisition adding GALAFOLD (migalastat for Fabry disease) and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA (cipaglucosidase alfa plus miglustat oral chaperone for late-onset Pompe disease) to the BioMarin rare-disease portfolio; and continued growth of Palynziq (pegvaliase-pqpz for phenylketonuria). ROCTAVIAN (valoctocogene roxaparvovec, hemophilia A AAV gene therapy) revenue continued to decline following the Q1 2026 voluntary market withdrawal announced earlier in the year. The Amicus acquisition adds cost synergies expected to accelerate revenue growth, non-GAAP diluted EPS accretion, non-GAAP operating margin expansion, and operating cash flow through the mid-2030s per BioMarin management commentary. BioMarin's Voxzogo peptide franchise represents one of the sole approved peptide therapies in the pediatric endocrine indication space and continues to demonstrate the commercial scalability of the C-type natriuretic peptide modality.
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) reports Q2 2026 earnings Monday August 10, 2026 after market close, with a live conference call scheduled for 5:00 PM ET. Koyfin consensus estimates: revenue of $730.12 million (+20% year-over-year), $47.26 million EBITDA (+7% YoY), and $0.11 adjusted diluted EPS. Analyst focus areas beyond the top-line numbers: the peptide-compounding revenue trajectory following the July 23-24 FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) 6-of-7 vote recommending BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, Semax, and Epitalon for the Section 503A Bulks List (DSIP was rejected); the branded GLP-1 supply migration through the Novo Nordisk Wegovy/Ozempic and Eli Lilly Zepbound/Mounjaro commercial partnerships since Q1 2026; and management commentary on the FDA rulemaking timeline (typically 12-24 months per PCAC-recommended substance) that gates when the July 23-24 PCAC recommendation actually translates into new compounded-peptide revenue lines. Leerink analysts estimate Hims peptide sales at approximately $440 million in 2026, representing roughly 15% of the projected 2026 revenue midpoint; Truist analysts have cautioned that substantial peptide revenue is unlikely before 2028 even with the PCAC advisory support. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anant Vinjamoori's July 23 PCAC public-comment testimony (which reportedly moved several undecided panelists on the harm-reduction argument for legal 503A compounded peptides) added a public-facing dimension to the Hims peptide strategy that will likely be referenced on the earnings call.
Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) shares fell approximately 5% across Tuesday and Wednesday August 4-5, 2026 following the H1 2026 earnings release. CEO Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen defended Wegovy pill economics on the earnings call, addressing analyst concerns about the compressed margin trajectory from the Most-Favored-Nation pricing deals announced with the Trump administration in November 2025 (which paired lower drug prices with expanded Medicare access and a three-year tariff grace period) and the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program launched July 1, 2026 (providing Wegovy, Zepbound KwikPen, and Foundayo at a capped $50/month copay for eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries through December 31, 2027). Both programs reduce net realized prices per unit even as prescription volume climbs. Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide 25 mg for obesity) has reached more than 5 million cumulative US prescriptions since the Q1 2026 launch, one of the fastest oral obesity-drug uptake curves on record. Novo Nordisk H1 2026 sales reached 78.49 billion Danish kroner ($12.09 billion, +3% constant currency); the company raised full-year 2026 guidance from prior expectations to down 6% to flat at constant exchange rates. Analyst attention now focuses on 2027 pricing environment and Novo's ability to defend franchise economics as Eli Lilly's tirzepatide and orforglipron continue to widen the competitive gap.
The peptide-and-obesity Q2 2026 earnings week (Merck August 4, Pfizer August 4, Amgen August 4, Eli Lilly August 5, Novo Nordisk H1 August 4-5) delivered mixed signals across the pharma sector. Merck (NYSE: MRK) posted $16.61 billion Q2 revenue (+5% YoY, beat consensus by $250M), raised FY revenue guidance to $66.3-67.3 billion but cut adjusted EPS guidance to $2.66-2.76 due to a $5.7 billion Terns Pharmaceuticals acquisition charge; Keytruda reached $8.37 billion (+5%) and LIPFENDRA (enlicitide) launched at $315/month with $5 billion peak sales potential by 2034. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) reported $15 billion revenue and $0.77 adjusted diluted EPS, raised FY revenue guidance midpoint to $60.5-62.5 billion, and CEO Bourla said the obesity program (danuglipron plus Metsera pipeline) is advancing with substantial momentum. Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) reported $10.05 billion Q2 revenue (+10% YoY), raised FY guidance to $38.2-39.4 billion, discontinued AMG 513 early-stage obesity candidate leaving MariTide as sole obesity focus. Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) delivered $23 billion Q2 revenue (+48% YoY blowout), raised FY guidance to $85-87 billion, Mounjaro reached $9.9 billion (+91%), Zepbound $4.9 billion US (+44%), and Foundayo generated $98 million in first fully operational commercial quarter. Novo Nordisk H1 reached 78.49 billion DKK ($12.09 billion, +3% CER) with Wegovy pill at 5 million+ prescriptions and raised guidance; NVO shares fell 5% on margin concerns. Alnylam (NASDAQ: ALNY) extended a 30% selloff (approximately $12 billion market cap lost) since the July 30 Q2 report on the Amvuttra TTR guidance cut plus eplontersen setback.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ: BMRN) hosts its Q2 2026 financial results conference call and webcast Thursday August 6, 2026 at 4:30 PM ET. Analyst focus areas: Voxzogo (vosoritide) commercial trajectory in achondroplasia (Voxzogo is a C-type natriuretic peptide analog administered by daily subcutaneous injection, making it a substantive peptide franchise for the site's coverage); ROCTAVIAN (valoctocogene roxaparvovec) hemophilia A AAV gene therapy commercial ramp and payer coverage; Palynziq (pegvaliase-pqpz) for phenylketonuria (PKU) revenue trajectory; and the broader rare-disease enzyme replacement franchise including VIMIZIM (elosulfase alfa), Naglazyme (galsulfase), and Aldurazyme (laronidase). BioMarin has been transitioning its commercial focus from the mature enzyme replacement franchise toward newer growth drivers (Voxzogo and ROCTAVIAN) with analyst attention on the balance of growth-portfolio contribution versus legacy-franchise stability. Amylyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMLX) also reports Q2 2026 results Thursday August 6 at 8:00 AM ET, with focus on the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pipeline following the March 2024 US withdrawal of Relyvrio and pipeline reprioritization to progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and other rare neurodegenerative indications. Tarsus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TARS) reports at 8:00 AM ET.
