In its own words
What could break it.
Supplier concentration
- limited raw-material suppliers; reliance on third-party manufacturersmedium
Viking has no internal manufacturing and relies on third-party CMs (e.g., CordenPharma for VK2735); a limited number of suppliers exist for the raw materials needed, risking disruption of clinical/commercial supply.
“There are a limited number of suppliers for raw materials that we use to manufacture our drugs, and there may be a need to identify alternate suppliers to prevent a possible disruption of the manufacture of the materials necessary to produce our drug candidates for our clinical trials, and, if approved, ultimately for commercial sale.”
SEC filing →As of 2026
Regulatory & policy
- U.S. drug-pricing reform (IRA, ACA, Medicare cuts)low
Healthcare reform — the IRA, ACA and ongoing Medicare funding reductions — and state importation/price-control measures could lower future pricing and reimbursement for any approved Viking products.
“We expect that the ACA, the IRA, and any other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, more rigorous coverage criteria, new payment methodologies and additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product.”
