NVO bounce off 50 emaI have been waiting for another flush on NVO for a while, this tap of the 50 EMA should bounce and I bet the stock returns to the momentum trend line (teal).

My plan: I have already entered 130$ Dec calls. I will add more if we candle body this EMA. My PT is 129$, then a more optimistic 141$.

Novo Nordisk could be dropping 15% from hereLooking at Novo Nordisk and the fundamental I have a hard time thinking Novo would drop further at this point. However the technical setup indicates that if we don't hold the current level we could drop more than 15% from here. - The head and shoulder is complete now we just need to see if we can get a follow through. - Closing price Friday was below the 200 daily moving average. The recent price drop is caused by a dissapoint in early trial results of their pill Monlunabant.

How To Pick Top Pharma Stocks like a ProAnalyzing the pharmaceutical industry, whose products play a key role in improving the quality of life of people around the world, is quite challenging sometimes also it requires deep knowledge and a careful approach, as I believe that investors should consider many factors, starting with evaluating the efficacy of the analyzed company's medications, including in relation to its competitors and the "gold standards," and ending with an analysis of its financial indicators In this article you will learn how to pick Top Pharma stocks like a pro trader and which factors you should consider, so buckle up 1/ Recognizing the risks At the very beginning, an investor you must recognize that the pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive, where a company's investment attractiveness depends not only on the rate of expansion of its portfolio of product candidates, revenue growth, margins, the amount of total debt and cash on the balance sheet but is also heavily influenced by the expiration of patents on medications and vaccines. Moreover, in recent months, the healthcare sector has increasingly felt the impact of the upcoming 2024 US presidential elections, as some politicians are aiming to further tighten regulation of drug prices despite the existing Inflation Reduction Act. 2/ Leveraging data to your advantage The second step use data wisely, you should check all kinda data including stock screener, transcripts of earnings calls, financial results for the last quarters, analyst expectations, options data... The goal is to filter companies in poor financial condition, as well as those that trade at a significant premium to the sector and/or competitors I would also like to point out that in the current market environment, with Fed interest rates remaining at multi year highs, I do not recommend investing in companies with market caps below $500 million, as they typically have limited cash reserves and weaker institutional backing Also, I'd recommend investors read 10-Ks and 10-Qs, especially the section related to debt and sources of financing of the company's operations, to reduce the likelihood of an "unexpected" drop in the share price. A striking example is Invitae Corporation aka NVTAQ which declared bankruptcy in mid February 2024! Was there a prerequisite for this? The answer is yes since the company continued to generate negative cash flow and also had convertible senior notes maturing in 2028. Convertible notes can involve significant financial risks if the company cannot effectively use the cash to grow the business and break even. In this case, management will not be able to pay off the bonds with cash reserves and will have to resort to significant dilution of investors. In my opinion, Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. NASDAQ:PACB may face this problem because it has convertible senior notes maturing in 2028 and 2030. Factors that concern me include the company's declining revenue and total cash and short-term investments in recent quarters, while its operating expenses remain extremely high at around $80 million per quarter. Let's return to the second step in my approach to selecting the most promising assets in the healthcare sector. When selecting companies with market caps between $4 billion and $40 billion, I use more parameters since most of them already have FDA approved drugs and/or vaccines. As a result, it is also necessary to consider the rate of growth of operating income, net debt/EBITDA ratio, and how management copes with increased marketing and production costs. Finally, let's move on to the last basket, which contains pharmaceutical companies with market capitalizations exceeding $40 billion. I think, this group is best suited for more conservative investors looking for assets offering attractive dividend yields and growing net income, supported by a rich portfolio of FDA approved and experimental drugs. So, from Big Pharma, I like Pfizer Inc NYSE:PFE , AbbVie Inc NYSE:ABBV , Merck & Co NYSE:MRK and AstraZeneca PLC NASDAQ:AZN . I also want to include Novartis AG NYSE:NVS and Roche Holding AG OTC:RHHBY in this group sometimes investors need to make exceptions, namely if one larger company buys out a smaller player and/or when a major partnership agreement is concluded, as was the case between Merck and Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited OTC:DSKYF in 2023. Also, in the event of a major acquisition or merger, the company's debt may temporarily increase sharply. If its management has previously implemented effective R&D and financial policies, the "net debt/EBITDA ratio" A remarkable example of a company falling into the "value trap" is Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited NYSE:TAK , which overpaid for Shire. This deal did not significantly strengthen or rejuvenate the Japanese company's portfolio of drugs. As a result, it had to sell off billions of dollars in assets to pay off its debt partially. However, despite all the efforts of Takeda's management, its net debt/EBITDA ratio, although it fell below 5x, remains high, namely about 4.7x at the end of March 2024. 3/ Identifying promising therapeutic areas In general, the more prevalent a disease is, the larger the total addressable market for a drug and, as a result, the higher the chances that it will become a commercially successful product. Global spending on cancer medications will reach $377 billion by 2027, followed by immunology, and diabetes will come in third with an estimated spending of about $169 billion What challenges arise when choosing pharmaceutical companies? you should also keep in mind that the larger the market, the higher the competition between medicines, as companies strive to grab as big a piece of the pie as possible. As a result, for drug sales to take off, they need to have significant competitive advantages over the "gold standard." These competitive advantages may include greater efficacy in treating a particular disease, less frequent administration, a more favorable safety profile, and a more convenient route of administration. So, in recent years, competition in the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market has intensified. Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic condition. Currently, three drugs have been approved to combat the disorder, including Biogen Inc.'s (BIIB) Spinraza, Roche/PTC Therapeutics, Inc.'s (PTCT) Evrysdi, and Novartis AG's (NVS) gene therapy Zolgensma. All three products have similar efficacy, but Evrysdi has a more favorable safety profile and is the more convenient route of administration, namely the oral route, which is reflected in its sales growth rate from year to year. The second pitfall is the company's pipeline of experimental drugs. I believe that financial market participants opening an investor presentation that presents a company's pipeline, especially if its market cap is below $5 billion, should also pay close attention to what stage of clinical trial activity its experimental drugs are in. if a pharmaceutical company has most of its product candidates in the early stages of development, this represents a significant risk because, in this case, institutional and retail investors are often overly optimistic about the prospects for the drugs' mechanisms of action and/or clinical data obtained in a small group of patients. Simultaneously, as is often the case, the higher the optimism, the less favorable the risk/reward profile. In most cases, the larger and more diverse the patient population, the weaker the efficacy of a drug relative to what was seen in Phase 1/2 clinical trials. This ultimately leads to a downward valuation of its likelihood of approval and casts doubt on its ability to take significant market share from approved medications. This may subsequently reduce the company's investment attractiveness, making it more difficult to attract financing for its operating activities. As a result, I recommend excluding any company that, instead of focusing its financial resources on the most promising product candidates, conducts multiple early-stage clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of its experimental drugs. In my experience, the most successful pharmaceutical companies focus their efforts on bringing up to three product candidates to market and then reinvesting the revenue from their commercialization into developing the rest of the pipeline. The table below highlights the following parameters that I use to screen out the least promising companies. A third factor that investors, especially those new to the investment world, should consider is that large pharmaceutical companies are leaders in certain therapeutic areas, with a rich portfolio of patents covering various mechanisms of action and delivery methods of drugs, making it more difficult and more prolonged for smaller players to find product candidates that could potentially have the competitive advantages. So, Novo Nordisk A/S NYSE:NVO and Eli Lilly and Company NYSE:LLY have long been leaders in the global diabetes and weight loss drugs markets, and only very recently, they may be joined by Amgen Inc. NASDAQ:AMGN , Roche Holding, and several other companies 4/ Assessing a company's drug portfolio in comparison to competitors Evaluating the effectiveness, safety profile, and mechanism of action of a medication, as well as comparing clinical data with its competitors, takes a lot of time and effort. I provided examples of drugs and the most promising mechanisms of action in the obesity treatment market. Their manufacturers are Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Roche Holding, Viking Therapeutics, Inc, Amgen, Pfizer, Altimmune, Inc, OPKO Health, Inc, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Zealand Pharma A/S 5/ When market exclusivity for a company's key medications ends Every financial market participant who is considering investing in pharmaceutical companies should consider the expiration time of key patents of medicines. Marketing exclusivity represents protection against the entry of a generic version and/or biosimilar of a branded drug into the market, thereby allowing the company to recoup the resources spent on its development and, in the event of its commercial success, also reinvest the money received to accelerate the development of the remaining product candidates. Where can you find information about patent expiration dates? All the necessary information is either in 20-Fs/10-Ks or on the FDA website, namely in the "Orange Book" section. let's take Eli Lilly as an example. Open the latest 10-K. Then, the CTRL + F combination opens the ability to find specific words in the document. I usually enter "Expiry Date" or "compound patent" to find the patent section.nvestors can also find information about patents on the FDA website. As an example, I enter "Mounjaro" in the top line, and a list of patents opens that protect Eli Lilly's blockbuster from the introduction of its generic versions onto the market.hen, clicking on "Appl. No." will open information about the submission date of the patent and when it will expire. 6/ Evaluating the impact of insider share transactions The next step in selecting the most interesting assets in the healthcare sector is to analyze Form-4s. The CEO, CFO, and other key members of the company's management buy or sell shares from time to time.I am only interested in analyzing purchases since, most often, sales by management are option exercises carried out to pay taxes. When management starts making large outright purchases of a company's shares, it can signal that it believes in its long-term growth potential.if more than two top managers buy a large block of shares within two weeks of each other, it significantly increases the likelihood of the company's stock price rising in the next two months from the moment of their transactions But as with everything, there are exceptions, such as in the case of OPKO Health, which is developing a long-acting oxyntomodulin analog for the treatment of obesity together with LeaderMed Group.Over the past 12 months, OPKO's management, especially CEO Phillip Frost, has purchased over 12 million shares. However, despite this, its stock price has fallen by 27% over the same period. I believe that the key reasons for the divergence between these two facts are investors' lack of confidence in Phillip Frost's ability to make the company profitable again, as well as its low cash reserves. Therefore, companies like OPKO Health have already been eliminated at the second step of selection using Seeking Alpha's screener. 7/ CEO Performance in Business Development The CEO plays a crucial role in the success of a pharmaceutical company since the pharmaceutical industry is highly dynamic, and the competition between Big Pharma is especially high, I advise readers to pay attention to the track record of the CEO, especially how he copes with force majeure situations, as well as how effective the R&D policy is carried out under his leadership. 8/ Identifying Entry and Exit Points for Long-Term Investments The eighth step is in addition to the information that was obtained in the previous steps, as well as the analysis of financial risks and various financial metrics of the company, including its net debt, maturity dates of bonds, historical revenue growth rates, EBIT, gross margin, I build a DCF model with the ultimate goal of determining the price target. it is necessary to conduct a technical analysis of them, as well as the main ETFs that include them. In my opinion, the key ETFs are the SPDR® S&P Biotech ETF AMEX:XBI , Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF AMEX:FBCG , iShares Biotechnology ETF NASDAQ:IBB , and VanEck Pharmaceutical ETF $PPH. The purpose of technical analysis is to determine the stop-loss level and entry points at which the risk/reward profile is most favorable. taking profit is not that easy cuz you must master your emotions and greed which damn hard 9/ Creating a Watchlist Based on Risk/Reward Ratio The purpose of which is to create a watchlist of the companies I have selected based on the previous steps. I make several lists of companies based on their market caps and also rank them according to risk/reward profile, that is, in the first place is the stock that I think has minimal risks and at the same time can bring the greatest potential profit. I also advise creating small notes on each company, which can include information about risks, support/resistance zones, dates of publication of clinical data, and any thoughts you have that will make your decision more conscious when opening a position “What’s your secret sauce for choosing pharma stocks?”

Novo Nordisk: Analyzing a Potential Pullback and Key levelsLong-Term Overview (3M Timeframe) Looking at the 3-month timeframe, we can observe that OMXCOP:NOVO_B has maintained a consistent bullish trend channel since 1990, characterized by higher highs and higher lows. Medium-Term Analysis (1M Timeframe) On the one-month timeframe, since the last significant pullback in 2016, OMXCOP:NOVO_B has surged by approximately 1000%. Recently, the stock touched the upper resistance trend line and then experienced a sharp downward move, suggesting an impending pullback, which could be followed by another significant bullish run. Key Levels (1W Timeframe) Focusing on the one-week timeframe, we can identify crucial levels at 590 DKK, 735 DKK, and 930 DKK. Historically, these levels have acted as key resistance and support zones, making them critical areas to watch moving forward. Fibonacci Analysis Using Fibonacci retracement, the stock has respected the 0.236 level, reinforcing the validity of these levels as potential reversal points during the pullback. The relevant Fibonacci levels to monitor are 810 DKK, 670 DKK, and 560 DKK. Outlook and Strategy Given the recent price action, I anticipate that OMXCOP:NOVO_B may form a reversal pattern, such as a double top or head and shoulders, leading to a more pronounced pullback. This pullback could have a reversal at one of the identified key levels or the lower support line within the long-term bullish trend channel. How to Capitalize: To capitalize on this potential move, consider monitoring smaller timeframes for signs that the pullback is concluding at the key levels. Once you identify such signals, a strategic entry could be made, with a stop loss placed just below the key support level to minimize risk.

Novo Showing Bullish SignsHello everyone, happy Sunday. Today I am presenting my "cup and handle" bullish pattern on $NYSE:NVO. From a technical perspective, the stock has shown a typical cup pattern with resistance, and I expect a handle to soon form before a bullish continuation upwards. Currently in with 75 shares around $133, will add to 100 shares scalping along the way down the handle if it occurs. Side note, very bullish on this company fundamentally for the next few quarters, will most likely hold shares beyond this near-term idea.

Novo Nordisk's Wegovy Secures China Approval, Poised for Major MDanish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk gains significant access with the approval of its weight-loss drug Wegovy in China. This move grants Novo Nordisk entry into the world's second-largest economy, targeting a growing population facing obesity challenges. Key Considerations: Wegovy targets patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher alongside weight-related comorbidities like hypertension and type 2 diabetes. The approval coincides with the impending expiration of the semaglutide patent in 2026, potentially intensifying competition with generic alternatives. Novo Nordisk adopts a strategic initial focus on self-pay patients in China, mirroring its approach in other regions for early adoption before broader insurance coverage. Competition emerges from Eli Lilly's weight-loss product Zepbound and domestic Chinese drug manufacturers. Wegovy's potential for success in China aligns with the remarkable growth of Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug Ozempic (sharing the same active ingredient), which saw sales double in the region last year. Novo Nordisk demonstrates a proactive commitment to meeting the global demand for weight-loss solutions through substantial investments in production capacity. Maintaining leadership in this market requires a continued focus on innovation, strategic expansion, and effective market penetration strategies as the semaglutide patent nears expiration. The approval of Wegovy represents a significant milestone for both Novo Nordisk and China's public health efforts in addressing obesity. While this marks a new chapter in global weight-loss treatment, the competitive landscape promises to intensify. Novo Nordisk's future success hinges on its ability to navigate this evolving market.

Novo Nordisk Stock Slipped 3.3% ThursdayNovo Nordisk ( NYSE:NVO ) stands as a beacon of innovation, continually pushing boundaries in the treatment of diabetes and obesity. However, despite its recent successes, the company finds itself navigating the delicate balance between bullish growth projections and meeting market expectations. The latest buzz surrounds Novo Nordisk's weight-loss blockbuster, Wegovy, which witnessed a staggering nearly doubling of sales year over year, reaching an impressive $1.34 billion. Yet, the street had anticipated an even stronger performance, setting the bar at $1.49 billion. This slight discrepancy hints at the challenges Novo Nordisk ( NYSE:NVO ) faces in keeping pace with the soaring demand for its revolutionary obesity treatment. The surge in Wegovy sales underscores the growing need for effective solutions in combating obesity, a global epidemic that continues to plague millions worldwide. Novo Nordisk's commitment to addressing this pressing health issue is evident in its strategic acquisitions and investments, such as the $16.5 billion plan to acquire drug manufacturer Catalent. This move aims to ramp up production of weight-loss and diabetes drugs, including Wegovy and Ozempic, signaling the company's proactive stance in meeting future demands. Novo Nordisk's Chief Executive, Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen, remains optimistic about the company's trajectory, attributing the robust demand to its innovative treatments. Jorgensen emphasizes, "More patients benefit from our innovative treatments, and the agreement to acquire the three Catalent manufacturing sites will enable us to serve significantly more people living with diabetes and obesity in the future." While Wegovy and Ozempic continue to drive substantial growth for Novo Nordisk, challenges persist in other areas. Revenue from insulin products experienced a slight downturn, falling approximately 4% to $1.91 billion. However, this dip was offset by strong performances in other segments, with sales of diabetes drugs witnessing a remarkable 74% increase. Looking ahead, Novo Nordisk ( NYSE:NVO ) remains bullish on its prospects, forecasting sales to climb between 19% to 27% in constant currency for the year. Additionally, the company anticipates a significant jump in operating profit, reflecting its confidence in its robust product pipeline and strategic initiatives. As Novo Nordisk ( NYSE:NVO ) works through the complexities of market expectations and innovation, it reaffirms its position as a pioneer in the field of diabetes and obesity treatment. With a steadfast commitment to improving patient outcomes and driving sustainable growth, Novo Nordisk continues to chart a course towards a healthier, more resilient future.

Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) as of 7th March 2024.Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) has exhibited a robust upward trajectory over the preceding quarter, as indicated by the persistent development within the bullish Ichimoku Cloud. A closer inspection of the technical facets as of March 7th, 2024, suggests a consolidation phase nearing culmination, with potential for either continuation or reversal imminently observable. Technical Indicators: Ichimoku Cloud: The price is consolidating above the Ichimoku Cloud, which acts as dynamic support. The Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line) remains above the Kijun-sen (Base Line), indicating a potential continuation of the bullish trend. The future cloud appears bullish, widening and sloping upwards, which could project a bullish sentiment forward. Fibonacci Retracement: The asset's price rebounds off the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level at $111.37, indicative of buyers consolidating strength. A breach beyond the recent swing high at $127.17 may target the 100% extension at $138.25. Relative Strength Index (RSI 14): RSI lingers near the equilibrium mark of 50, suggesting a neutral momentum with a slight inclination towards bullish sentiment. The RSI trajectory appears to be stabilizing, indicating the dissipation of prior selling pressure. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): The MACD line resides beneath the signal line, though both lie near the zero axis. The histogram reflects diminishing bearish momentum, implying that a bullish crossover may transpire should buying pressure escalate. On-Balance Volume (OBV): The OBV indicates substantial accumulation, sustaining above 2.105 billion. This metric advocates for the underlying strength in the bullish trend, signifying that volume is backing the price ascent. Price Action & Chart Patterns: The candlesticks align within the upper echelon of the Bollinger Bands, yet no breach of the upper band has been observed, circumventing an overbought scenario. The pattern of higher lows maintained since the outset of February intimates a rising support trendline, contributing to the formation of an ascending triangle pattern, which typically resolves to the upside. Market Sentiment & News: The market cap of Novo Nordisk has maintained a bullish market sentiment, corroborated by the company's stable financial health and progressive R&D initiatives. Anticipation around the upcoming earnings report in 24 days may be catalyzing investor optimism. Speculative Price Targets: Should the ascending triangle resolve as anticipated, an assertive break above $127.17 could pilot the asset towards the $138.25 mark, aligning with the 100% Fibonacci extension level. Traders should monitor for a confirmed break with volume substantiation to validate this speculative outlook. Alternatively, should the support fail, retracement towards the Ichimoku Cloud support at approximately $120 may occur, which would necessitate reassessment of the bullish thesis. Conclusion: Investors and traders should remain vigilant for confirmatory signals via both price action and volume. A breach with convincing volume above the $127.17 pivot would affirm the bullish stance, potentially heralding a move towards the $138.25 price region. Conversely, a reversal below the current support trendline calls for strategic stop-loss placements to mitigate potential drawdowns. The forthcoming earnings report will serve as a critical event that could either bolster the bullish scenario or impose a shift in the market's narrative for NVO.

NOV Stock – An Investor’s Gold Mine?Over a billion people worldwide suffer from obesity. Physical exercise and various treatments often require a lot of effort and time to have any noticeable result. If a pharmaceutical company comes along and invents a magical drug that can help people lose weight without making any effort, that would undoubtedly revolutionize the industry. This is essentially what happened when the pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk (XETR: NOV) released its weight-loss drug three years ago. The company’s market value has more than doubled, becoming bigger than the GDP of Denmark, its home country. With recent expansions into the US obesity market, the upward trend is only expected to continue, to the point that some analysts believe Novo will join the trillion-dollar club in just a few years. NOV Stock & the Obesity Market Even though It’s common knowledge at this point that obesity is one of the biggest health issues facing adults in the US, the numbers can still shock you when you hear them. According to the CDC, obesity currently affects around 100 million adults and 14.7 million children. That’s approximately 61% of the total population. The costs resulting from obesity are also insane, accounting for approximately $147 billion in annual healthcare costs. Obesity is often seen as a problem with an individual’s lifestyle or behavior. However, more and more people are coming to think of obesity as a disease that requires medical intervention, at least in some cases. An important step in this direction was the American Medical Association’s recognition of obesity as a disease. Since then, big pharmaceutical companies have started the process of developing new weight-loss drugs that are safer and more effective than most available obesity products. So, the current situation is that there’s a growing demand for obesity drugs, and the market is especially huge in the US. Experts estimate that around 15 million people in the US will be on obesity medication by 2030. Overall, the obesity drug market is projected by some analysts to be worth over $100 billion in less than ten years. The obesity market is a gold mine for any pharmaceutical company capable of seizing the opportunity to develop an efficient drug to satisfy the ongoing demand. This is exactly what the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk has been doing with its new groundbreaking drugs, Wegovy and Ozempic. The Magical Drugs Both drugs were originally invented by the company to treat type 2 diabetes. This obviously means that they help control blood sugar. But by far, their most significant effect is their ability to manipulate hunger signals to the brain. This tricks the body into feeling full and slows the stomach’s emptiness rate. This effect has proven to be magical for people attempting to lose weight. Over time, studies have shown that both drugs reduce body weight by 15%. For a person suffering from obesity, this number can mean the difference between life and death. The Food and Drug Administration approved Ozempic in 2017 for diabetes and Wegovy in 2021 for obesity. In 2022, they were joined by a new drug named Mounjaro, also introduced as a diabetes treatment with the same effects on appetite that result in significant weight loss. Novo filed for the FDA’s approval for obesity treatment and got it in November of 2023. The effects of these drugs have been described as miraculous. Some claim that their appetite dropped so much that they started saving hundreds of dollars per month on food because they stopped ordering takeout. The success of the drugs has also been reflected in the company’s staggering quarterly reports. Mounjaro sales, for example, saw a mind-boggling year-over-year increase of 6250% in Q3 2023, growing from merely $16 million to $1 billion. This growth shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Novo’s Q2 2024 reports beat expectations, with an overall increase of 31% in sales and to $33.71 billion. Net operating profit also strikingly moved up 37% to $14.89 billion. The company expected the sales growth to continue, predicting another 18% to 26% jump for the next quarter. This only makes sense since the market is still in its infancy. The number of people actively benefiting from the drugs is less than 1% of the estimated total number of people suffering from obesity all over the world. NOV Stock Recent Performance The company’s recent growth has exceeded $505 billion in market value. The number is bigger than Denmark’s entire GDP, leading some to describe the country’s economy as powered mainly by this one company. On a global scale, though, the company has fierce competitors. One of the obesity drugs making headway into the market is Eli Lilly’s Zepboud, which was approved in November of 2023. The US-based company is Novo’s main rival and the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, with a market cap of $612 billion. Both companies are expected to be the first in the health industry to join the trillion-dollar club in just a few years. But plans for expansion come with a host of pressing concerns that Novo must quickly address, which brings us to some of the risks you should be aware of if you decide to invest in the company’s stock. First, it’s ironic that the drug has been very successful to the point that the company hasn’t been able to keep up with the increasing demand, the result being some supply chain issues. For example, in late 2023, the company decided to cut the supply of starter doses of Wegovy to keep supplying people who are already taking the drug. The company expects the drug to remain restricted for some time into 2024, and has recently started easing the curb. In response to the issue, Novo has been ferociously expanding its supply chain and investing in research and production facilities. In 2023 alone, the company invested more than $10 billion to deal with the problem. Given the drugs’ resounding success, investors probably shouldn’t worry too much about the cash burn resulting from these investments. The recently reported profits are more than enough to cover the expenses for many years. Another issue that could slow down the company’s growth is the high price tag of the drugs, combined with the unfortunate fact that private and public insurers mostly don’t cover them. Wegovy, for instance, costs $1,350 monthly, and Mounjaro isn’t much cheaper, with a price tag of $1,025 per month. Federal insurance programs like Medicare and Medigap don’t cover weight-loss medications by law, which has been the case since 2006. Though admittedly, some Medigap and Medicare programs for retirees do, As for private insurers, they usually don’t cover drugs with the active ingredient contained in Novo’s products if they’re prescribed for weight loss only. There’s reason to be optimistic when it comes to insurance, though. Recently, Novo released a multi-year study called SELECT, which shows that the company’s drugs are notably effective at preventing cardiovascular conditions, which can be worsened by diabetes or obesity. If the drugs are approved by the FDA for cardiovascular treatment, it’s expected that many insurance providers will cover them if they are prescribed for this reason. Many insurance plans already cover some of the drugs when they’re prescribed for type-2 diabetes. So this will help many more people afford the drugs through insurance. This is not to mention that the company is already making an effort to lower the prices, but this is probably going to take a few years, especially since it cannot even supply the drug at a satisfactory rate yet. NOV Stock Forecast Overall, these difficulties don’t seem to be particularly difficult to overcome. Even if the drugs remain expensive, the recent boom in sales will probably continue for the next few years, given how huge the market is. As for the supply issues, we’ve seen that the company has more than enough time and cash to handle them. Patents for this kind of medicine have lasted ten years, so we can expect the company to keep growing until at least 2031. If the drug becomes available in pill form, which is an active research project for Novo, the patent will last ten more years, and we can safely assume that the upward trend will keep going until then. Overall, Novo could probably be the next gold mine for investors.
