Recent chatter on X about Novo Nordisk (NVO) has been heavily focused on the company’s disappointing Q2 earnings and a significant cut in its full-year 2025 sales growth forecast. Many users have expressed concern over weakening demand for Wegovy in the U.S. market, compounded by fierce competition from rival weight-loss drugs. The stock’s sharp decline, with drops of up to 35% from its June 2025 high noted in discussions, has kept the conversation intense and speculative.
Additionally, posts on X have highlighted mixed analyst updates, with some upgrades citing potential in the company’s pipeline and upcoming data readouts, while others downgrade the stock due to current market pressures. There’s also attention on recent share price movements, with some users pointing to critical support levels and others eyeing upcoming quarterly results under new leadership. The debate continues to swirl around whether the current price reflects long-term growth potential in diabetes and obesity treatments.
