On December 20th, Jinshi data reported that Novo Nordisk announced on Friday that its experimental next-generation weight-loss drug CagriSema helped overweight patients lose 22.7% of their weight in late-stage trials, lower than the expected 25%, which caused a significant fall in the company’s stock price. This lower-than-expected data is a blow to Novo Nordisk, which had hoped that CagriSema would be a more powerful product than its previous generation weight-loss drug Wegovy, to replace it. Investors and analysts have been eagerly awaiting these data to test whether Novo Nordisk has a strong follow-up product to replace Wegovy in the fiercely competitive anti-obesity market. After the results were announced on Friday, Novo Nordisk’s stock price fell big dump by 22% in pre-market trading on the US stock market.
