Gilead Stock Gains. It’s Trying to Get Into the Obesity Drug Game.

Gilead Sciences stock was climbing Friday on hopes that it would get into the obesity-drug game. GLP-1s, the technical name for the popular obesity drugs, has been one of the biggest drivers of pharmaceutical stocks in recent months. Which may be why Gilead stock has gained 2.8% to $64.55 in afternoon trading Friday after Jefferies released a note late Thursday night.
