Ozempic Maker’s Obesity-Fueled Gains Seen Slowing After Banner Year

 

  • Analysts see 9% upside after company became Europe’s biggest
  • Some say valuation is stretched as Novo faces more competition

A frenzy around obesity drugs made Novo Nordisk A/S Europe’s biggest stock-market success story of 2023. Repeating the trick won’t be so easy.

Shares of Novo, which makes the diabetes drug Ozempic and weight loss medicine Wegovy, have risen 42% this year, as investors latched on to the growth potential of a market that some analysts predict could reach $100 billion by 2030. The rally made it Europe’s biggest company and pushed the Danish firm’s value past the size of its domestic economy.
