Viking Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VKTX#NASDAQ">VKTX</a>) reported its first-quarter financial results after the bell Wednesday. Here's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/04/n38415238/viking-therapeutics-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-provides-corporate-update">look at the highlights.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Viking Therapeutics reported quarterly losses of 26 cents per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of losses of 28 cents by 7.14%. 
Research and development expenses were $24.1 million for the first quarter, compared to $11 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to manufacturing for the company&#8217;s drug candidates, pre-clinical studies, clinical studies, stock-based compensation, salaries and benefits and services provided by third-party consultants.
Viking ended the first quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $963 million, compared to $362 million as of Dec. 31, 2023. The first quarter balance reflects the receipt of approximately $630 million in gross proceeds from the company&#8217;s public offering of common stock which closed on March 4, 2024.
&#8220;The first quarter of 2024 was an exceptional period for Viking,&#8221; stated Brian Lian, Ph.D., president and CEO of Viking. &#8220;During the quarter, the company reported positive top-line results from the Phase 2 VENTURE study of subcutaneous VK2735 in obesity and encouraging initial data from a Phase 1 study of our novel tablet formulation of this compound. We plan to meet with regulators to discuss the path forward for both programs and expect to advance each into further development later this year.&#8221;

Meta beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines, reporting first-quarter revenue of $36.455 billion versus estimates of $36.156 billion and EPS of $4.71 versus estimates of $4.33, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite topping estimates, the stock is tanking in after-hours trading, likely due to the company&#8217;s guidance. Meta said it expects second-quarter revenue to be in the range of&nbsp;$36.5 billion to $39 billion versus estimates of $38.3 billion. 
The company raised its expense outlook for the year from a range of $94 billion to $99 billion to a new range of $96 billion to $99 billion. Meta also raised its capital expenditures forecast from a range of $30 billion to $37 billion to a new range of $35 billion to $40 billion as the company continues to accelerate its infrastructure investments to support its AI roadmap.
&#8220;While we are not providing&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for years beyond 2024, we expect capital expenditures will continue to increase next year as we invest aggressively to support our ambitious AI research and product development efforts,&#8221; the company said. 
Meta also noted that it expects operating losses to &#8220;increase meaningfully&#8221; year-over-year for its Reality Labs division. Meta shares were down more than 12% at the last check.
