Metsera, Inc.: A Promising Buy in the Obesity Market with Potential for Significant Returns

Seamus Fernandez, an analyst from Guggenheim, has initiated a new Buy rating on Metsera, Inc. (MTSR).

Seamus Fernandez has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Metsera, Inc.’s promising position in the obesity market. The company’s ultra-long-acting nutrient stimulating hormone analog pipeline, particularly the lead asset MET-097i, is expected to secure a significant stake due to its competitive weight loss results and improved tolerability. The potential for a substantial return is further bolstered by the combination opportunities with MET-233i, which could lead to a near doubling of the stock value in the next 18-24 months if the data supports efficacy and tolerability.
Metsera’s leadership, comprised of experienced professionals with a strong track record in cardiometabolic drug development, adds to the confidence in the company’s ability to execute its strategy efficiently. The emerging oral peptide pipeline and the MOMENTUM platform, designed to enhance bioavailability, present additional upside potential. With several valuation upgrade opportunities and downside risk protection from MET-097i’s unique half-life, Fernandez recommends investors to consider building a position in the company before key data releases in late 2025.
