Novo Nordisk Valuation Looks Appropriate Given Uncertainties -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Yesterday

0701 GMT - Novo Nordisk's valuation now looks broadly appropriate given both near and long-term uncertainties, Citi analysts write. Shares found a floor in the fourth quarter of 2025 after falling over 70% from the mid-2024 highs, and the stock has rebounded over 20% year-to-date. Citi sees a tough 2026 outlook given U.S. pricing, copycat drugs, semaglutide patent expiries, and a sluggish diabetes market, among other things. An impressive initial Wegovy pill launch is a potential offset, but with just two weeks data it is too early to extrapolate, the bank adds. Obesity represents a huge volume opportunity, but prices are eroding and competition creates uncertainty. The bank initiates coverage of Novo Nordisk stock with a neutral rating and 400 Danish kroner target price. Shares closed at 397.05 kroner. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
