Effects of GLP-1 Drugs on Weight Watchers and Oprah Winfrey
The popularity of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wigovi has impacted Weight Watchers negatively, leading to subscriber losses, amplified by Oprah Winfrey's departure from the Weight Watchers board. This situation prompted Weight Watchers' lenders to engage a law firm to prepare for talks, causing a 13% stock increase. Weight Watchers is exploring options to improve leverage ratio and considering capital structure changes, with bonds quoted in the 40s.
