Novo Nordisk downgraded by leading banks as CagriSema trial flops against Zepbound
NVO
Published: February 24, 2026 by: Proactive Investors
Sentiment: Negative

The failure of its next-generation obesity drug to match Eli Lilly's blockbuster has blown a hole in Novo's post-Ozempic strategy, with analysts slashing price targets and two major banks walking away from bullish positions Novo Nordisk's (NYSE:NVO) last best hope for life after semaglutide has stumbled badly. The Danish drugmaker's CagriSema combination jab failed on Monday to demonstrate non-inferior weight loss against Eli Lilly's Zepbound in the REDEFINE-4 phase III trial, a result that has prompted two high-profile analyst downgrades and forced a broad reassessment of the company's long-term earnings power.

Sentiment: Neutral

Weight loss treatments provider Novo Nordisk might have experienced a sharp stock decline after disappointing 2025 results and 2026 outlook, but it has seen an impressive bounce back since. While the expected financial weakness is a real downer, there's a possibility of a sales surprise this year considering the company's recent vigorous actions as well as promising launches. NVO's forward P/E has fallen so low now that further upside looks unmistakable. This is especially true as the company is expected to return to improved financial health from 2027.

Keeping my Buy rating on Novo Nordisk A/S despite a disappointing negative 2026 sales guidance amid fierce competition from Eli Lilly and compounders.
