Recent chatter on X about Novo Nordisk (NVO) has been buzzing with reactions to the company’s latest developments, particularly the FDA approval of Wegovy for treating metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious liver disease. Many users are intrigued by the potential boost this could give to the stock, which saw a pre-market surge of over 4% following strong half-year sales growth. However, discussions also reflect lingering concerns about competitive pressures in the weight-loss drug market.
Despite the positive news, a significant portion of the conversation on X remains focused on the company’s earlier disappointments, including a cut in the full-year 2025 sales forecast and a Q2 earnings miss. Some users have pointed out softening demand for Wegovy in the U.S. as a red flag, while others see the recent stock dip as a potential opportunity. The mix of optimism and caution paints a complex picture of investor sentiment.
