Novo Nordisk Stock (NOVO-B, NVO) Update Dec 14, 2025: Wegovy 7.2 mg Tailwind, Ozempic India Launch, Akero Deal — Outlook for the Week Ahead

Updated: December 14, 2025 (Sunday) Novo Nordisk A/S shares ended this week with a rebound after a choppy start, as investors weighed three heavyweight catalysts: (1) the EU regulator’s support for a higher-dose Wegovy, (2) the long-telegraphed India launch of Ozempic at a sharply lower price point, and (3) the closing of Novo’s multibillion-dollar acquisition of Akero Therapeutics to expand beyond obesity/diabetes into MASH (fatty liver disease). Reuters+2Reuters+2 While the broader 2025 narrative has been painful—Novo’s U.S. ADR is down roughly ~41% YTD by some market-data services, and Danish-listed shares have been down more than 50% at points this year—the
