Health Care Down as Novo Nordisk Plunges -- Health Care Roundup

Dow Jones
03-11

Health-care companies fell as traders retreated from some of the highest risk issues.

Shares of Novo Nordisk plunged 9% after patients in a clinical trial for the Danish obesity-drug maker's CagriSema product lost less weight than investors had anticipated. The boom in GLP-1 weight-loss drugs has been complicated by competition from compounding pharmacies such as Hims & Hers, and lofty investor expectations about the drugs' potential as a panacea.

Eli Lilly fell 4.6%. Illumina cut its growth forecast and said it would reduce capital expenditure by $100 million because China barred sales of the company's gene-sequencing machines.

CVS Health is testing stores that will offer full-service pharmacies but very limited retail, reflecting drug-store chains difficulties competing with mainline retailers in recent years.
