Novo Nordisk vs 1 Million GLP-1 Patients

Novo Nordisk Earnings Call: Implications for GLP-1 Users and the Future of Obesity Treatment

In this episode of The Downsized, host Christopher Durham reviews Novo Nordisk's Q2 2025 earnings call, revealing significant financial growth but a surprising full-year forecast reduction. Despite 18% growth in sales and 29% growth in operating profit, Novo has had to lower its forecast due to slowing GLP-1 growth in the U.S., partly attributed to compounded medications. Key revelations from the call include Novo's legal actions against compounded GLP-1 providers, the need for more affordable pricing to combat competition, and the potential of Novo's innovation pipeline, including new GLP-1 formulations and cardiovascular outcomes. Durham emphasizes the growing power of patient choices in shaping the market, urging Novo to reduce drug prices and expand access. The episode ends with a preview of Eli Lilly's upcoming earnings call, promising more insights into the future of obesity treatment.
