NVO
Published: November 05, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

NVO's GLP-1 franchise, led by Ozempic and Wegovy, faces moderated growth and supply constraints, yet remains a key revenue driver at 49% of sales. Promising Phase 3 data for oral Wegovy supports its potential as the first oral GLP-1 obesity therapy, with an FDA decision expected by end-2025.
