Dramatic Price Drops Offer Potential Investment Opportunities by Novo Nordisk
Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical company, has recently experienced a significant drop in its stock price. This decline was primarily caused by a profit warning issued by the company, which revealed reduced demand for its GLP-1 diabetes and weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic.
The reduced demand is attributed to competition from alternative products in the US and selected global markets. This news triggered a sharp 23% single-day plunge, and overall the stock has fallen about 70% from its peak in May 2024.
The profit warning also reflected lowered forecasts for 2025 sales growth (8–14%) and operating profit growth (10-16%), moderated further by currency effects. Leadership changes, including the appointment of a new CEO, suggest the company is responding to the challenges.
For investors, the price drop means that although the stock has fallen significantly, some analysts view this as a potential buying opportunity since the company still has growth prospects and its valuation based on forward earnings looks attractive (forward PE around 12.3 times). However, risks remain given the challenges in sales and competitive pressures.
