Here are some of the companies saying weight loss drugs could impact their business

The impact of new weight loss treatments is being felt well beyond the health-care industry . Analysts used the ritual of quarterly earnings calls to probe companies on whether their businesses were being helped — or hampered by — the latest trend. Drugs that mimic gut hormones like glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, were first used to treat diabetes, but have gained favor as obesity treatments.

Cardinal Health also said the medications provided a tailwind to its revenue for another quarter. The company raised its fiscal 2024 pharmaceutical sales outlook, citing help from the drugs.

Some companies already bar weight loss medications from their insurance plans to keep costs down.
