📈 Retatrutide: Lilly's premium peptide upgrade path

Retatrutide's triple-agonist phase-3 data (37lb loss, liver fat -80%, A1C 7.9→6.0, muscle-sparing) makes it the premium upgrade above $50-Medicare tirzepatide — 'the Mercedes to the Honda... that's where they're going to start to make all this money' — with approval possibly late 2026, mid-2027 latest, and an 'avalanche of peptides' expanding the market beyond obesity into fitness and longevity.

IS THIS A TRADE? 🚫 Not a trade — conviction 29.0 is EMBER, below WATCH (45) and far from the GREEN entry bar (65). If more weighted voices pile on, it climbs; two mentions isn't conviction. direction semantics: bullish = the plays below are expected to RISE if the thesis is right → expression is long.
