Unlock the projected rangeSee where this setup landed historically — with Premium.

Over the next 20 trading days, similar setups historically landed in a measured range of outcomes. Premium shows the median return, the typical range, and how often they were positive. This is the historical range of outcomes — not a prediction of this stock’s price.

Ranges describe how this exact setup resolved in the past — derived from thousands ofhistorical occurrences across QuoTrend’s coverage since 2006, survivorship-corrected to include companies that later delisted. The band is the typical spread (±1σ) of those outcomes, not a forecast; the central value is their average move. Fewer matching cases over longer horizons widen the band and lower its reliability. Backtested results are hypothetical, based on historical data, and do not represent actual trading. Past performance does not guarantee or predict future results. QuoTrend is an educational research tool, not investment advice. Markets involve risk, including loss of principal.

Company

Viking Therapeutics, Inc. operates as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, specializing in the creation of novel treatments for metabolic and endocrine conditions. The company's leading investigational drug, VK2809, is an orally administered, tissue and receptor-selective agonist of the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRß). This compound is currently progressing through Phase IIb clinical trials, targeting both non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in biopsy-confirmed patients and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Viking's pipeline also features VK5211, an oral, non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator undergoing Phase II studies for individuals recuperating from non-elective hip fracture surgery. Additionally, VK0612, an oral drug candidate for type 2 diabetes, is poised to enter Phase IIb trials. The firm is also developing VK0214, another orally active, tissue and receptor-selective TRß agonist, specifically aimed at X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Founded in 2012, Viking Therapeutics is headquartered in San Diego, California.
