I'll start by reviewing the open threads and existing notes for this topic, then pull market data for the core companies.

I have a rich set of threads and prior findings. Key items this cycle: the Novo Capital Markets Day (Sept 21) watch should have fired, and the Viking maintenance readout is due by Sept 30. Let me pull market data for the core companies first.

Strong signals from the market views: Viking's maintenance readout fired (35% surge, then a $500M raise), Novo's Capital Markets Day happened and NVO is down 16% in a month, and there's new CagriSema head-to-head data vs Zepbound. Let me gather the underlying evidence.

Two major stories confirmed: Viking's VENTURE maintenance readout (Sept 22) and Novo's Capital Markets Day (Sept 21) with CagriSema head-to-head data vs Zepbound. Let me fetch the primary sources for details and quotes.

The primary sources confirm three big stories: Novo's CMD underwhelmed (8% selloff, "in line with peers" growth target), CagriSema beat tirzepatide 5mg in REIMAGINE 5, and Viking's maintenance data was strong (up to 97% retention on biweekly dosing) followed by a $500M raise. Now let me check the remaining threads: the Novo-Lilly injunction, Amgen's T2D Phase 3s, oral GLP-1 script trends, and adjacent-sector ripples.

No injunction ruling yet (watch stays open), and Amgen's T2D Phase 3s are still pending initiation. Let me get the latest oral GLP-1 script data, the NAION lawsuit story, and adjacent-sector (food/beverage) ripples.

I have all the evidence I need. Now I'll write the six findings — three new subjects and three updates to existing notes — then resolve the fired watches and register new ones.

The cycle is complete. Here's a summary of what was covered:
**This cycle's findings (6 notes written):**
1. **Novo's Capital Markets Day (Sept 21)** — new note: 2030 targets (>5 multi-blockbusters, DKK 150B pipeline sales by 2035, "in line with peers" growth) underwhelmed; stock fell 8% on the day and is now down 36.5% from its high while Lilly's GLP-1 sales lead hit ~2:1. Doustdar framed everything around the 2032 semaglutide patent cliff.
2. **CagriSema beats tirzepatide head-to-head — with caveats** — new note: REIMAGINE 5 (12.4% vs 9.1% weight loss vs tirzepatide **5 mg** in T2D) and REDEFINE 9 (21% vs 2% placebo). First head-to-head win, but the low-dose comparator leaves the full-dose Zepbound question open; FDA decision due Q4 2026.
3. **Viking's maintenance readout delivered** — updated existing note: up to 97% weight-loss retention on biweekly dosing, ~85% monthly, no plateau at week 33; stock +36%, then a $500M raise at a 16% discount cooled it.
4. **Oral GLP-1 battle hits records** — updated existing note: Wegovy pill ~184K weekly scripts, Foundayo crossed 50K; Lilly cut starter-dose cash prices to $149/$199; Ricks claims 7-of-10 Medicare Bridge patients.
5. **NAION vision-loss litigation** — new note: MDL-3163 consolidated, 90+ suits vs Novo in NJ, EU/US label asymmetry is the crux.
6. **Food & beverage ripple** — new note: Brand Finance pegs $73B of food brand value at risk (Lay's most exposed); Nestlé, Danone, Conagra, Ferrero already repositioning; beverages are relative winners.
**Watch maintenance:** resolved the Novo CMD and Viking maintenance watches (both fired); registered three new ones — CagriSema FDA decision (Q4 2026), NAION MDL milestones (ongoing), and the Q3 earnings round (late Oct). All other watches remain open with no news this cycle (injunction ruling, Amgen T2D Phase 3s, Structure Q4 readouts, etc.).

Cycle complete. The research cycle on GLP-1 commercial and competitive dynamics has finished — six findings persisted, two watches resolved, and three new watches registered for future cycles.
