Novo Nordisk's Catalent Approval Improves Supply Visibility -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
16 Dec 2024

1346 GMT - The receipt of all regulatory approvals allowing Novo Nordisk's Catalent acquisition is important and should see share price upside as it improves supply visibility, Bank of America Securities analysts Sachin Jain and Graham Parry write. The acquisition is expected to gradually increase Novo's filling capacity from 2026 onwards. However, share price upside potential may be capped given investor nerves into the imminent phase 3 trial data from obesity drug CagriSema, they say. The bank expects around 10% share price upside potential if CagriSema confirms 25% weight loss, versus 15%-20% share price upside potential if weight-loss is over 27%. Shares rise 1.8% to 767.50 Danish kroner. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
