Viking is developing what might be a game-changing medication in the segment. Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX) , a biotech that has shot to prominence thanks to a weight-loss drug it is developing, was a winning stock this week.

The agency will officially support the use of such medications by adults struggling to lose weight, and will make a push to improve access to the drugs for lower- and middle-income patients.
