NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VTEX (NYSE: VTEX), the backbone for connected commerce and the only vendor named a Gartner® ' Customers' Choice ' for two consecutive years, unveiled a bold expansion of its enterprise-grade capabilities at VTEX Vision 2025, its annual digital showcase. This year's release introduces new solutions tailored for B2B complexity, personalized omnichannel experiences, and an agentic AI workforce that drives operational excellence through automation. B2B Enterprise: Tailored Capabilities That Convert and Scale The report by Andy Hoar recognized VTEX with the most Gold medals across Enterprise and Mid-Market categories, including Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Marketplace capabilities.

VTEX's continued stream of B2B innovation affirms what enterprise leaders already know: success requires infrastructure built around how corporate buyers manage procurement, not systems that restrict transactions.

Cross-Channel Fulfillment: Newly simplified BOPIS (buy online, pick up in store) and Ship from Store features, simplified returns, leading to operational cost reductions and improved inventory accuracy. Agentic Commerce: The Enterprise AI Workforce Enterprise commerce is entering a new operational era. VTEX is leading that shift with agentic AI built to streamline critical workflows and accelerate enterprise performance worldwide. The first phase of its roadmap toward a fully agentic commerce platform launches three AI agent specialists engineered for precision, speed, and adaptability. Together, they signal the beginning of a new standard where digital infrastructure operates as intelligently as the enterprises it serves. Customer Service Agent: a fully autonomous support agent across WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, and more. Deployed by brands like UNICEF and Cencosud, it has already resolved 92% of tickets without human input and cut AHT from hours to minutes. Visual Editor Agent: will soon allow any team to instantly update a storefront using a Figma file or natural language, no developers required. Data Insights Agent: receive priority access to real-time omnichannel performance data in plain language, without the need for static dashboards or SQL queries. ' Enterprise commerce doesn't slow down in the face of complexity. It rewards those who turn it into leverage. With VTEX Vision 2025, we have expanded our infrastructure to meet rising demands, from B2B buyer personalization to seamless consumer retail experiences, all on one unified commerce platform built for growth, ' said Mariano Gomide de Faria, Founder and Co-CEO of VTEX. ' As VTEX advances toward a fully agentic commerce platform, we continue to transform cost centers into engines of growth with measurable impact. Our first wave of AI agents marks a critical step, compressing complex workflows and unlocking new value for global brands. Flexibility, transparency, and real-time adaptability will define the next generation of enterprise leaders. Anything else will be left behind. ' One Platform. Infinite Control. VTEX is building the commerce infrastructure enterprises need to unlock growth across both B2C and B2B models. Whether it's enabling a buyer to place highly complex orders with hundreds of line items or approval hierarchies in seconds, orchestrating global fulfillment across 20 countries, or deploying an AI agent that turns data into action, VTEX gives enterprise brands one platform to manage it all.

Viking Therapeutics stock falls 37% on high dropout rate in obesity trial
-- Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ:VKTX) stock plunged as much as 37% Tuesday after revealing results from its Phase 2 VENTURE-Oral Dosing trial for its oral obesity treatment, while Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) shares gained 1.5% as analysts pointed to competitive advantages. The trial demonstrated that Viking's oral tablet formulation of VK2735, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, met its primary endpoint with patients losing up to 12.2% of body weight after 13 weeks compared to 1.3% for placebo. Despite the weight loss efficacy, the 28% treatment discontinuation rate among patients receiving VK2735 versus 18% for placebo raised significant concerns among investors and analysts. Mizuho analyst Jared Holz highlighted competitive disadvantages compared to Eli Lilly's offerings: "Data look inferior to LLY on almost all metrics and the thing to consider here is that patients discontinued at such a high rate over 13-weeks vs. LLY in the mid 20% range --- but over 72-weeks; A much longer trial, and therefor LLY looks far better head-to-head. This probably shutters hope for VKTX a bigtime player in the oral obesity market over the near to medium term." JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) analyst Hardik Parikh offered a more balanced view, noting, "In 13 weeks, the three highest-dosing arms of 60/90/120mg showed avg pbo-adj weight loss of ~7.5%, 10%, 11%, which we think is very strong compared with other orals in development. Tolerability overall was manageable, but it was worse than we expected based on the ph1 performance." Parikh added that while the adverse event profile wasn't as clean as in Phase 1 trials, "we still think oral vk-2735 offers strong efficacy with a manageable tolerability profile." Viking reported that 99% of gastrointestinal-related adverse events were mild or moderate. The company also highlighted an exploratory maintenance dosing arm showing weight loss could be maintained at lower doses. The major adverse events included vomiting rates of 20-35% in the three highest dose arms compared to about 10% for placebo, and nausea rates of approximately 58% for patients on treatment versus 48% for placebo.

2 Growth Stocks to Buy With $200 and Hold Forever
Key Points Unity is in the middle of a turnaround, and growth is just around the corner. AMD is winning market share and building a massive artificial intelligence (AI) chip business. Both growth stocks are under $200 per share. 10 stocks we like better than Unity Software › You don't need much money at all to invest in some of the best growth stocks available. If you've got $200 and are ready to put it to work in the stock market, Unity Software (NYSE: U) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) look like solid bets. Unity is on the cusp of a return to growth, and AMD is stealing market share from its biggest rival. 1. Unity Software: Staging a comeback Video game engine developer Unity has reached an inflection point, according to CEO Matthew Bromberg. The company's accelerated pace of development, its work to regain trust after the Runtime Fee debacle, and its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Vector ad platform have brought the company close to a return to growth. Overall revenue was still down slightly in the second quarter, but things are moving in the right direction. Unity's Create Solutions segment, which includes its game engine, grew revenue in the second quarter, thanks to a large customer win and an increase in subscription revenue. The Grow Solutions segment, which focuses on advertising, shrank slightly. However, Unity Ad Network grew revenue by 15% compared to the first quarter, thanks to the new Vector platform, which was offset by weakness in other areas. In the third quarter, Unity expects its Grow Solutions segment to report mid-single-digit revenue growth compared to the second quarter, a sign the Vector platform is gaining traction. Create Solutions will be weaker due to the large customer win in the second quarter that won't be repeated. Overall revenue is expected between $440 million and $450 million, up from the second quarter at the midpoint. Unity may not look like much of a growth stock right now, but the company has all the pieces in place to become a long-term winner. The Unity game engine is widely used across the video game industry, and switching costs are significant. On the advertising side, the Vector platform aims to fix issues that have plagued that part of the business for years. As Unity gets back on its feet, now's a great time to buy stock. 2. AMD: A force in CPUs and AI AMD still finds itself in a second-place position behind Intel in the PC and server CPU markets, but the company has gained an incredible amount of ground thanks to good products and Intel's various issues. AMD managed a 27.3% unit share and a 41% revenue share in the server CPU market during the second quarter of 2025. Eight years ago, Intel had a near-monopoly. A similar story has played out in the PC CPU market. AMD managed a 32.2% unit share of the desktop CPU market and a 20.6% unit share of the notebook CPU market, both of which are up dramatically over the past decade. The company's Ryzen CPUs have been winning over consumers as Intel struggled with stability issues for its Raptor Lake chips and later a lackluster launch for Arrow Lake. Outside of CPUs, AMD has built a solid AI accelerator business as well. The company is still far behind market leader Nvidia, but its Instinct data center GPUs are now a multibillion-dollar annual revenue business. The company sees this as a long-term opportunity as AI chip demand continues to explode, with the potential for tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue down the road. AMD faces a few risks. First, Intel under its new CEO could become more aggressive and put pressure on AMD's CPU businesses. Second, if the AI boom starts to fizzle out, the AI accelerator business may not be as lucrative in the long run as the company is assuming. However, even with those risks, AMD is a much stronger company than it was even five years ago, and it should continue to thrive in the years ahead.
