Novo Nordisk Q1 Earnings Review: Forget Revenue Miss, Buy Semaglutide Hype
NVO
Published: May 07, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Novo Nordisk A/S announced its Q1 earnings today, blaming a slight revenue miss on sales of compounded semaglutide. Q1 2025 earnings showed revenue of ~$11.9bn, operating profit of $5.9bn, with diluted EPS up 15% year-on-year. ~65% of revenues were driven by semaglutide, or Wegovy (obesity)/Ozempic (diabetes). This is truly a miraculous drug, and as compounded versions of semaglutide cease to be manufactured, performance will improve in 2H25.
