Stock Track09-27

Shares of BioAge Labs Inc. (BIOA) surged 25% on Wednesday after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company priced its upsized initial public offering (IPO), raising $198 million by selling 11 million shares at $18 each.

The Richmond, California-based company is looking to capitalize on the surging popularity of weight-loss drugs, which are expected to become a $150 billion market by the early 2030s. BioAge is developing azelaprag, a pill intended to be used in combination with leading weight-loss treatments such as Eli Lilly's Zepbound and Novo Nordisk's Wegovy.

BioAge has initiated a mid-stage study testing azelaprag in combination with Zepbound, with data expected in the third quarter of 2025. The company also plans to start a second mid-stage trial pairing azelaprag with Wegovy in the first half of 2025, with results anticipated in the second half of 2026. Proceeds from the successful IPO will help fund the advancement of azelaprag into late-stage clinical studies.
