Vertex should earn other important approvals through 2030 that could jolt its stock price. It's developing a treatment called zimislecel for type 1 diabetes (T1D), and the therapy is showing the ability to restore patients' insulin production in clinical trials.

The founders of Metsera have a battle to buy their company. It would be their second time striking deal gold.
