Welcome to the Q1 2025 Novo Nordisk A/S Earnings Conference Call.
NVO stock gains after reporting first-quarter 2025 results, mainly due to expectations of U.S. sales recovery of its popular obesity drug, Wegovy.
Novo Nordisk A/S announced its Q1 earnings today, blaming a slight revenue miss on sales of compounded semaglutide. Q1 2025 earnings showed revenue of ~$11.9bn, operating profit of $5.9bn, with diluted EPS up 15% year-on-year. ~65% of revenues were driven by semaglutide, or Wegovy (obesity)/Ozempic (diabetes). This is truly a miraculous drug, and as compounded versions of semaglutide cease to be manufactured, performance will improve in 2H25.
Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) first-quarter results offered few surprises, but they may just have delivered the market something it needed more: relief. That collective anxiety release was reflected in the share price, which rose 4%.
Q1 2025 results show a 19% sales increase, 20% operating income growth, and 14% net profit rise, defying the 55% stock drop. Novo Nordisk's profitability and growth in emerging markets, coupled with a forward P/E ratio of 16.35x, make it an undervalued investment opportunity. Market concerns over minor market share losses are overblown; NVO remains the leader in a rapidly growing obesity and diabetes market.
U.S.-listed shares of Novo Nordisk (NVO) are jumping in premarket trading Wednesday even as the Danish pharmaceutical giant lowered its full-year outlook.

Investors breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday as shares in Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) rose 3% in early trading, despite the drugmaker trimming its sales and profit forecasts for 2025. The downgrade, which had largely been anticipated, brings an end to a four-year streak of upgrades driven by booming demand for its obesity drug Wegovy.
The company has seen sales hit by alternative compounded versions of its blockbuster weight-loss and diabetes drugs, particularly in the U.S.
