Analyst projections of the future price of Zealand Pharma A/S stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In people with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes, petrelintide cut average body weight by up to 9.2% after 28 weeks, against 2.0% for placebo, and improved HbA1c. The result supports its potential in a patient group with both weight and blood-sugar needs. (Zealand Pharma)
Petrelintide may stand out on treatment tolerability: only 1.9% of treated participants stopped ZUPREME-2 because of gastrointestinal side effects, close to the 1.7% on placebo. Most reported effects were mild, which could help patients stay on long-term treatment. (Zealand Pharma)
Roche and Zealand have begun three Phase 3 trials of petrelintide, targeting about 7,000 participants across obesity populations with and without type 2 diabetes and with cardiovascular disease. This puts the lead asset into large-scale testing with a major pharmaceutical partner. (Zealand Pharma)
Zealand’s other major obesity asset, survodutide, faces a serious tolerability hurdle: roughly a quarter of patients on the highest dose stopped treatment in a Phase 3 trial, often because of gastrointestinal effects. High dropout rates could limit its commercial appeal even where weight-loss results are meaningful. (Reuters, Fierce Biotech)
Petrelintide’s efficacy may be hard to distinguish from rival obesity drugs, while its blood-sugar benefit in ZUPREME-2 looked modest by comparison: HbA1c fell by up to 0.65%, versus reported rival results of 1.3% to 2.1%. That could weaken its appeal for patients with type 2 diabetes. (Fierce Biotech)
Zealand’s earnings remain exposed to lumpy partnership payments rather than recurring product sales. H1 2026 operating cash flow was negative despite reported profit, and the company expects operating costs to rise as it funds its pipeline. (Inderes)
