LXRX Stock News HeadlinesLexicon Pharmaceuticals to Report Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results on August 6, 20262 hours ago | globenewswire.comLexicon Pharmaceuticals (LXRX) As Phase 3 Enrollment Beats Plan Faces An Undervalued View3 hours ago | finance.yahoo.comThe trade I’ve been waiting for since 2011Ross Givens, Director of Research at Traders Agency, is calling for gold to reach $10,000 an ounce this supercycle - and says that may be conservative. Billionaire Pierre Lassonde has argued for $19,000. Former CIA advisor Jim Rickards targets $27,000 based on a federal revaluation of the gold supply. But the bigger opportunity may not be gold itself. A 'backdoor' gold-linked asset has historically multiplied gold's move by 10x or more - returning 846%, 1,668%, 1,847%, and 1,915% in the last supercycle.July 30 at 1:00 AM | Traders Agency (Ad)Lexicon Pharmaceuticals: Advancing Cardiometabolic Pipeline and Phase 3 HCM Data Support Unchanged $6 Price Target and Buy RatingJuly 27 at 10:51 AM | tipranks.comLexicon Pharmaceuticals Completes Enrollment of Pivotal Phase 3 SONATA-HCM Study of Sotagliflozin in Symptomatic Non-Obstructive and Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)July 27 at 8:30 AM | globenewswire.comLexicon Pharmaceuticals (LXRX) Gains on Russell 3000 InclusionJuly 3, 2026 | insidermonkey.comIs Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
