Novo Nordisk Stock Jumps After Wegovy Pill Sales Surprise in Lilly Obesity Fight
Novo Nordisk bumped up its 2026 forecast on Wednesday, buoyed by stronger-than-expected initial sales for its Wegovy weight-loss pill—a fresh win in its rivalry with Eli Lilly. In Copenhagen, the stock jumped up to 9.2% after Novo told investors it now expects this year’s drops in sales and profit to be less steep than it previously warned.
