Pharmaceutical stock Amgen (AMGN) is rising following early positive results from the development of its new GLP-1 weight-loss drug, MariTide. Yahoo Finance Senior Health Reporter Anjalee Khemlani breaks down two ways MariTide could stand out among other obesity drugs, like Novo Nordisk's (NVO) Wegovy and Ozempic and Eli Lilly's (LLY) Zepbound and Mounjaro.
