Viking Therapeutics reported Q3 2026 results with a net loss of $183.2 million ($1.55/share) versus $90.8 million ($0.81/share) a year ago, driven by a doubling of R&D spend to $166.8 million as Phase 3 programs scale. The pipeline advanced on multiple fronts: VANQUISH Phase 3 trials for subcutaneous VK2735 remain on track for 2027 completion, SUNRISE oral Phase 3 trials are now underway, and Part 1 of the maintenance dosing study showed 83-97% weight-loss retention on less-frequent dosing with continued weight loss to ~22% on weekly dosing.
