0802 GMT - Novo Nordisk stands ready to launch new obesity and diabetes jab CagriSema, a rollout which must prove that a renaissance in obesity injectables is achievable and that semaglutide-patent expiries are surmountable, Berenberg analysts write. Assuming obesity-treatment approval by year-end, Novo stands ready to launch CagriSema in the U.S. in early 2027, the bank says. Novo's injectable business remains lackluster as competitor Eli Lilly continues to dominate market-share gains. At the same time, investor sentiment on the upcoming CagriSema launch remains subdued, it adds. However, Novo delivered solid third-quarter results and a guidance upgrade. Wegovy pill continues to surprise on the upside, and new market launches should see strong growth carry into 2027. The bank has a hold rating on the stock and 305 Danish kroner price target. Shares closed at 275.75 kroner.
