Novo Nordisk: Job Cuts, Profit Guidance Shock - Why Investors Should Hold Firm
Novo Nordisk A/S announced this morning that it will cut ~9k staff and that the one-off costs of doing so will severely impact profitability in 2025. Novo Nordisk's 2025 has been turbulent, but I believe investors shouldn't panic given the company's long-term strengths. Despite NVO management missteps and external headwinds, semaglutide remains a best-in-class asset with blockbuster potential across obesity, diabetes, and other indications.
Novo Nordisk: Keep It Low So I Can Keep Accumulating (Rating Upgrade)
Novo Nordisk A/S's strong Q2 results, led by Wegovy's explosive growth and robust profitability, reinforce my bullish outlook and justify recent share accumulation.

Novo Nordisk: Undervalued Pharma Heavyweight With Upside Potential
Novo Nordisk is deeply undervalued, trading at a forward P/E of 14, despite 20%+ top and bottom-line growth and dominant weight-loss market share.
