The Q2 23 results were driven by robust momentum for the firm’s GLP-1 diabetes drugs and obesity portfolio. While the management again upgraded the 2023 guidance, the markets seemed disappointed with the continued restrictions on the Wegovy supply. Overall, despite the stellar growth prospects and laudable operating performance, we remain cautious in terms of our recommendation, as Novo trades at expensive valuations on the back of the obesity market frenzy.

Q1 beat was largely driven by FX tailwinds as quarterly sales and operating profit CER growth were already provided during April 2023’s guidance upgrade. While GLP-1 and obesity drugs continued their stellar momentum, markets were probably spooked by another temporary supply reduction guidance for Wegovy and/or Eli Lilly’s progress on Alzheimer’s which could increase expectations for Novo to deliver in that area. Overall, despite robust growth prospects and operational excellence, Novo remains p
Catalent, Novo’s main contract manufacturer for its hyped obesity drug Wegovy, is facing productivity issues at three of its manufacturing plants. While this is the same company that faced issues in late-2021, leading to limited Wegovy supplies for most of 2022, this time it is unclear if Wegovy’s production is likely to be impacted. Nonetheless, it is worth tracking this development since any adverse news flow could prompt an abrupt reaction from the Novo share price.

Q4 sales again exceeded expectations, driven by GLP-1 products and obesity care offerings, which overshadowed insulins’ weakness. With all doses for Wegovy available from December 2022 onwards, obesity care should get a further impetus. For 2023, strong growth and higher capex, to meet increasing demand, are guided by management. Overall, despite being a quality stock, Novo seems expensive, especially given the looming competitive risks and interest rate hikes (possibly) nearing a peak resulting
While diabetes has been Novo’s traditional stronghold, the firm is also the front-runner to grab a big share of the rapidly-growing obesity market. A combination of changing market dynamics, including patient perspectives and innovation, has created a big obesity market opportunity, which could be worth $50bn by 2030. While Novo is likely to face competition from Eli Lilly, both firms have a clear first mover advantage. Overall, despite its expensive price tag (2022 PE of 33x), the firm’s invest
Novo’s quarterly results again topped expectations, driven by robust momentum for GLP-1 and obesity. Consequently, the 2022 guidance was upgraded. Overall, while the firm remains on a strong footing underpinned by its dominance in diabetes, sustained growth for focus areas and a healthy balance sheet – leaving room for (inorganic) growth/diversification opportunities – we maintain our cautious stance mainly because of the stock’s expensive valuation (2022 PE of 33x).
