Last year, the pharmaceutical giant threw in the towel on experimental weight-loss therapy danuglipron due to potential safety concerns. However, Pfizer didn't give up. Instead, the drugmaker took another route, acquiring Metsera in November 2025 for $7 billion, plus contingent value rights that could raise the deal's total cost to $10 billion. This acquisition put Pfizer back in the game as a GLP-1 stock. The company's management believes that the game is winnable. Pfizer's Chief Scientific Officer, Chris Boshoff, discussed the encouraging results from the Phase 2b Vesper-3 clinical study evaluating PF'3944 (formerly MET-097i) in the fourth-quarter update.

1. In 2025, Hong Kong experienced robust economic performance, posting a 3.5% increase in GDP, a 28% surge in its equity markets, and a 12% rise in tourism. Despite these successes, the article cautions that Hong Kong must not become complacent, warning of numerous challenges that need addressing to maintain progress. These include both financial and demographic pressures expected to shape the city’s trajectory over the next five years.[para. 1][para. 2] 2. A key focus for Hong Kong’s next phase of growth is its ability to adapt to major transformations in global supply chains, the rise of AI-driven manufacturing in China, and its aging population. Research conducted by the Oliver Wyman Forum, based on roundtable discussions with over 80 regional executives, highlights the need for financial policy reforms, leveraging Hong Kong's status as a conduit for mainland companies expanding globally, and capitalizing on the so-called "silver economy" by developing more products and services tailored to older citizens.[para. 3] 3. The dynamics of global supply chains offer both risks and opportunities for Hong Kong. Business leaders interviewed anticipate that as companies seek more resilient supply chains, Southeast Asia and South Asia will draw more manufacturing activity, importing more components from China in the process. This is expected to drive new trade corridors, with trade between China and Southeast Asia forecasted to grow significantly—from $890 billion in 2024 to $1.4 trillion by 2030, per Oliver Wyman estimates.[para. 4] 4. China’s export sector is poised to remain globally influential due to efficiency, innovation, and scale, and its move toward "mass-AI" aims to overhaul the economy with artificial intelligence. Hong Kong is expected to benefit as China shifts from component exports to exporting AI-enabled products, especially to the Global South, where there is less resistance to technological sovereignty. This transformation is likely to see Chinese firms e...
