Viking Therapeutics reported a narrower-than-expected loss per share, which was a positive surprise for investors. However, the stock fell by 4.85% on the day, likely due to the lack of revenue information and no forward guidance. Investors may be cautious as the company navigates ongoing challenges in its clinical programs.
