DataMeds AI, Inc. and Tollo Health, LLC announced the launch of the Health Lives Here mobile application, initially focused on supporting users of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, with plans to expand to Long COVID patients in the fourth quarter of 2026 and thereafter to cancer patients. Marketing is being driven through the companies' partnership with NFL Alumni Health, the health-focused division of the National Football League Alumni Association. The launch coincides with the creation of a national Health Lives Here healthcare network, beginning with key independent pharmacies selected from among DataMEDS' wholly-owned subsidiary Corexa Health's independent pharmacy network, with the first Health Lives Here pharmacy being Moose Pharmacy of Concord in Concord, NC. The app offers in-app telemedicine consultations with licensed physicians who can evaluate patients for, prescribe and help manage GLP-1 therapies, and Corexa's pharmacy offers cash-pay options to purchase FDA-approved branded GLP-1 receptor agonist medications within the app with direct delivery to patients' homes. The app also features targeted nutritional support including Tollo Health's proprietary medical food Forzet, antiviral products Galectovid and Tollovid, wearables data tracking from Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, WHOOP and Oura Ring, behavioral health tools including an AI health coach and AI chatbot, and forthcoming diagnostic lab services through DataMEDS' acquisition of Helomics Corporation, with patient electronic health records and digital twin development and a provider network planned for 2027. The companies believe the Health Lives Here ecosystem will be especially valuable to underserved and rural communities by increasing awareness of healthy living, improving access to affordable pharmacy services and unique products, and giving patients more control over their health data.
Corexa Health's independent pharmacy network supplies the first Health Lives Here pharmacies and offers in-app cash-pay GLP-1 delivery.

Pfizer Trades at 9.6 Times 2026 Earnings as Guidance Points to Decline
Pfizer is trading at roughly 9.6 times the midpoint of its 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range of $2.80 to $3.00, a discount that reflects expected earnings decline rather than a straightforward bargain. The 2026 EPS midpoint sits below the $3.075 midpoint of Pfizer's 2025 guidance, and the company expects 2026 revenue of $59.5 billion to $62.5 billion against approximately $62 billion in 2025 guidance, with COVID-19 products falling to about $5 billion from approximately $6.5 billion and loss-of-exclusivity products creating another $1.5 billion revenue headwind. Excluding COVID products and products facing loss of exclusivity, Pfizer expects approximately 4% operational revenue growth at the midpoint, suggesting a business in transition rather than one losing its ability to grow. On the pipeline side, Pfizer reported Phase 2b data in June for berobenatide, its investigational monthly GLP-1 receptor agonist, showing almost 16% non-placebo-adjusted weight loss at 32 weeks at the 2.4 mg weekly dose, and plans 10 Phase 3 studies in 2026 within a program of more than 20 obesity trials, while also highlighting next-generation oncology programs including a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, an antibody-drug conjugate and a next-generation CDK4 inhibitor at ASCO 2026. Pfizer also reached settlements with generic manufacturers extending VYNDAMAX's effective U.S. patent expiry to June 1, 2031, versus a previous expectation of significant U.S. revenue decline beginning in 2029, and now expects VYNDAMAX revenue to remain relatively stable from 2028 through mid-2031, subject to other litigation, with 2026 adjusted R&D spending guided to $10.5 billion to $11.5 billion.

3SBio Signs MindRank AI Deal to Commercialize Oral GLP-1 Obesity Drug MDR-001
3SBio subsidiaries Zhejiang Sunshine Mandi and Zhejiang Wansheng have signed an agreement with MindRank AI to commercialize MDR-001, an oral GLP-1 candidate in Phase 3 obesity trials. The deal lands as 3SBio shares trade at HK$15.07, with a 1-year total shareholder return down 45.58 percent, a 30-day share price return down 6.69 percent and a year-to-date share price return down 38.69 percent, even as the 3-year total shareholder return is up more than 2x. On valuation, 3SBio trades at a P/E of 3.9x against a Hong Kong Biotechs industry average of 17.3x and a peer group average of 36.2x, with an estimated fair P/E of 8.2x. A discounted cash flow model puts 3SBio's estimated future cash flow value at HK$33.62 versus the current HK$15.07 share price. Recent declines in revenue and net income, combined with the weak 1-year return, could pressure sentiment if MDR-001 progress disappoints.

Eli Lilly's Taltz Plus Zepbound Shows Added Psoriasis and Metabolic Benefit in Phase 3b Trial
An exploratory analysis of Eli Lilly's ongoing phase 3b TOGETHER-PsO trial indicates that combining Taltz, or ixekizumab, with Zepbound, or tirzepatide, may improve both psoriasis and metabolic outcomes compared with Taltz alone. The trial enrolled patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who were obese or overweight and who had at least one additional weight-related comorbid condition, randomizing them to receive Taltz plus Zepbound or Taltz alone. At week 36, participants who took the two treatments together saw better changes in psoriasis-specific, immune, and metabolic biomarkers than those in the Taltz monotherapy group, with changes noted in more psoriasis disease-associated and metabolic biomarkers. The trial's primary endpoint is the proportion of participants achieving both Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 100 and at least 10% weight reduction at week 36. Lilly noted that in the US, approximately 61% of individuals with psoriasis also have obesity or are overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.
Novo Nordisk Raises 2026 Outlook, Targets Peer-Level Growth Through 2030
Novo Nordisk raised its 2026 outlook while telling investors at a London strategy day that it aims to grow revenue through 2030 at roughly the pace of large drugmaker peers. In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted sales rose 7% at constant exchange rates and adjusted operating profit rose 11%, though reported operating profit fell 16%, dragged down by a DKK 6.3 billion non-cash impairment on pipeline assets and by a year-ago rebate reversal. The raised 2026 outlook now puts adjusted sales and operating profit between flat and down 6% at constant exchange rates, while the longer view promises more than five multi-blockbuster launches by 2030, over DKK 150 billion in pipeline sales in 2035, and revenue growth in line with peers from 2026 to 2030, which management stressed are ambitions rather than guidance. The company's Wegovy pill topped 265,000 weekly prescriptions in a single week this summer and total prescriptions have passed 5 million since launch, but Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound have overtaken Ozempic and Wegovy in the US, and Novo's next-generation shot CagriSema missed its goal of proving it was not inferior to Lilly's tirzepatide. At a forward P/E of 10.97 as of October 6, against 18.77 for the sector and a five-year average of 27.91, Novo trades well below peers, with 59 hedge funds holding the stock in the most recent quarter, up from 55, and short interest at just 0.83% of the float.

Eli Lilly Trades at 30.94 Times Forward Earnings Despite 48% Revenue Growth
Eli Lilly reported 48% revenue growth for the second quarter of 2026 and raised its full-year outlook, yet the stock trades at 30.94 times forward earnings, well below its five-year average of 45.59. Mounjaro brought in $9.9 billion in the quarter, up 91%, and Zepbound added $4.9 billion, up 46%, while non-GAAP gross margin reached 86.3% and revenue outside the US rose 80% to $8.6 billion. The once-daily weight-loss pill Foundayo booked $98 million in its first quarter of sales, and Medicare's new coverage pathway now lets eligible patients get Foundayo or Zepbound for $50 a month, with Lilly estimating about 20 million Medicare patients may meet the clinical criteria. Management lifted 2026 revenue guidance to between $85 billion and $87 billion from $82 billion to $85 billion, and plans to file retatrutide with the FDA in the first quarter of 2027. Growth was volume-led, with volume up 60% against a 13% decline in realized prices, and second-quarter EPS of $8.38 absorbed $3.03 per share of acquired research charges, while reported EPS was $7.94 and full-year guidance stands at $35.50 to $36.50.
