    February 4, 2026, 10:42 AM EST.

The firm's CEO Mike Doustdar highlighted pricing pressures, despite launching a new Wegovy pill in the U.S. In contrast, rival Eli Lilly reported doubling of pre-tax earnings to $25.73 billion and a 110% surge in sales of its Mounjaro drug in the last quarter of 2025.
