GLP-1 UNCERTAINTY WEIGHS ON FORECAST

** Leerink Partners ("market perform," PT: $17.5) says there is "significant uncertainty around the GLP-1 franchise with a number of unresolved matters still swirling" and warns they "can't be confident" in the forecast with "another shoe to drop on the GLP‑1 side"
