Pfizer nears $7.3B deal to buy Metsera, a weight-loss drug developer, to enter booming obesity market.
Pfizer is reportedly close to acquiring Metsera, a New York-based weight-loss drug developer, in a $7.3 billion deal, according to the Financial Times, citing unnamed sources.
The acquisition, valued at $47.50 per share in cash plus potential performance-based payments, represents a 42.5% premium over Metsera’s recent stock price.
The move comes after Pfizer abandoned its own obesity drug, danuglipron, due to safety and tolerability issues.
Metsera’s lead candidate, MET-097i, showed an average 11.3% weight loss in mid-stage trials.
The deal, if finalized, would mark Pfizer’s entry into the rapidly growing obesity treatment market, projected to reach $150 billion by the early 2030s.
Neither company has confirmed the reports, and the transaction remains subject to change.
