The two continue with the new format by focusing on four key stories, including a potential deal for satellite connectivity company Globalstar, the battle between Pfizer and Novo Nordisk for the obesity drug company Metsera, an M&A deal with an embedded spinoff that reminds us a lot of Pfizer’s acquisition of Biohaven, and a large buyback at gas station operator Murphy USA
