Novo Nordisk suffered significant
stock losses this month, the largest since 2002, due to various factors. Decreasing sales of their weight loss drugs,
Wegovy and
Ozempic, and disappointing quarterly earnings were significant contributors. The company also faced increased competition following Roche's partnership deal with rival obesity drugmaker Lexicon, causing Novo to share a significant fall. Despite these challenges, some investors view this downslide as an opportunity to buy and hold Novo Nordisk's stock, based upon its performance in the past and believing it to be potentially undervalued at its current status. Furthermore, Novo Nordisk has entered into two substantial
obesity treatment deals recently. One was an expensive $2 billion deal to buy a Chinese weight loss drug, and another was a $1 billion licensing deal with Lexicon for an oral obesity drug. These moves showcase their intent to maintain a stronghold in the obesity treatment market, although these decisions have yet to prove financially favorable in the short term.
