Dow Jones2023-09-29

0746 GMT - Novo Nordisk's management priorities remain focused on scaling supply-chain capacities and growing the pipeline to sustain growth through the 2030s/40s, Citi analysts say in a note after meeting the company's chief financial officer. There are currently 500,000 U.S. patients on weight-loss drug Wegovy versus an addressable U.S. population of over 100 million and expected global population of 1 billion by 2030, Citi says. "The CFO seemed to be bemused that the warning letter relating to Clayton [manufacturing plant] had generated so much share price volatility. Actions to address FDA concerns have already been made, and the facility continues to run at full capacity." Management believes Medicare access to Wegovy is a matter of when not if, Citi says.
