Welcome to the Third Quarter 2024 Novo Nordisk A/S Earnings Conference Call.
After rising in premarket trading, Novo Nordisk's (NVO) U.S.-listed shares fell after the market opened Wednesday as its third-quarter sales fell short of estimates despite continued growth form weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Novo Nordisk's sales growth next year could be in the high teens in percentage terms, Chief Financial Officer Karsten Munk Knudsen said on an analyst call following the release of third-quarter earnings on Wednesday.
Novo Nordisk's (NVO) U.S.-listed shares rose Wednesday morning as it reported better third-quarter profits than expected, though sales of its drugs including popular weight-loss treatments Ozempic and Wegovy grew less than expected.
Novo Nordisk reported forecast-beating quarterly sales of its popular Wegovy weight-loss drug on Wednesday, sending its shares up nearly 9%.
Novo Nordisk on Wednesday nudged higher its outlook for the year as the drugmaker registered another quarter of strong sales of its weight-loss drugs.
Novo Nordisk said the side effects in trials so far for its experimental obesity drug CagriSema were similar to its GLP-1 drugs already on the market, and reiterated its expectation the new injection will deliver 25% weight loss.
Novo Nordisk is lifting curbs on prescriptions of its weight-loss drug Wegovy in the United States and is increasing supply in that market, its CEO said on Wednesday.
Novo Nordisk is aware of 100 hospitalizations and 10 deaths resulting from people taking compounded copies of its popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs, the drugmaker's finance chief said on Wednesday.
Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) reported better-than-expected third-quarter sales of its weight-loss drug Wegovy, reaching $2.49 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $2.29 billion and increasing 48% from the previous quarter. The strong performance is seen as a positive sign amid competition from Eli Lilly's obesity drug, Zepbound.
