Eli Lilly Soars, Novo Nordisk Plummets On GLP/Obesity Updates - Here's What To Do
LLY, NVO
Published: February 04, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Eli Lilly and Company defies valuation skeptics, posting 45% revenue growth and 96% EPS growth in 2025, with 2026 guidance projecting $80–83 billion in revenue and $33.5–35 EPS.

Novo Nordisk: My Certainties Swept Away By A Quarterly Report (Downgrade)
NVO
Published: February 04, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Novo Nordisk A/S faces disappointing 2026 guidance, projecting a 5–13% revenue and operating profit decline despite Wegovy pill adoption. Margin pressure arises as the oral Wegovy pill is costlier to produce and priced lower than injectables, compressing profitability even amid surging demand. US pricing pressure, currency headwinds, and competition from Eli Lilly compound risks, pushing NVO's FWD price/FCF multiple to 33x amid deteriorating fundamentals.
