According to recent reports, the World Health Organization (WHO) may for the first time include drugs that combat obesity on its \u201cessential medicines list,\u201d which is used to guide government purchasing decisions in low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n

This will only add to the buzz around these drugs, which is approaching the levels surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots like GPT-4.<\/p>\n

Despite the hype, we believe investors are right to be excited about the drugs.<\/p>\n

These drugs will find a quickly growing market from expanding waistlines. That\u2019s because obesity is growing in tandem with rising global prosperity. A bad side effect of prosperity is that consumption of not-so-healthy foods rises a lot, as does the prevalence of occupations requiring less physical work.<\/p>\n

Obesity already affects about 650 million people around the world. America\u2019s waistline is among those rapidly expanding\u2014almost half of Americans will be obese by 2030, a Harvard study found. It also estimated that about 18% of healthcare spending would then go to related conditions of obesity.<\/p>\n

No wonder, then, that Morgan Stanley thinks the market for weight-management medicines could reach $54 billion in just seven years\u2014with $31.5 billion of this from the U.S. alone.<\/p>\n

Companies behind the new obesity drug treatments are flying high:<\/p>\n

Novo Nordisk (NVO) \u2014 the dominant player in diabetes treatments \u2014 generated $2.4 billion in sales from obesity treatments last year. And it has barely started to widely distribute its new obesity drug, Wegovy. Its shares are up 43% over the past year, and 15% year-to-date.<\/p>\n

Eli Lilly (LLY), whose diabetes drug, tirzepatide, should get regulatory approval to treat weight loss this year, has seen its stock price rise 17.5% over the last year, although it is down 7% year-to-date.<\/p>\n

So, we thought we\u2019d do a comparison of the companies. The easiest way to do that is to ask Magnifi Personal<\/em> to do it for us. It\u2019s as simple as asking this investing AI to \u201cCompare NVO to LLY<\/a>\u201d and selecting a three-year timeframe. <\/p>\n
