- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Arena’s only approved product is Belviq, used for chronic weight management. Though it was the first obesity drug to be approved by the FDA in over a decade, is yet to impress with its performance. However, the company’s partnership agreements and efforts to improve the performance of the drug are impressive. We are also encouraged by the company’s cost-reduction initiatives to streamline the organization to support its development programs. Shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the last one year. On the flip side, Arena’s pipeline consists of early-to-mid stage candidates, still several years from commercialization. Plus, competition remains intense in the obesity market with both branded and generic players. " (3/9/2018)
