Eli Lilly completes $US7.8 billion Centessa deal, drawing attention to orexin drugs for narcolepsy

AI Market Summary
Eli Lilly's $7.8B acquisition of Centessa highlights escalating pharma M&A focused on orexin-targeting narcolepsy therapies, adjacent to the broader peptide/GLP-1 innovation wave underpinning Lilly's valuation. FDA approval of a competing Takeda drug underscores competitive intensity and regulatory momentum, while experts caution on repurposing narratives (e.g., cognition/productivity). Near-term market impact centers on Lilly's pipeline optionality versus execution and trial-risk reassessment.
