Evan Seigerman has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Novo Nordisk’s current strategic and operational challenges. The company recently announced a major restructuring under the new CEO, aiming to streamline operations and achieve significant cost savings. While this move is seen as necessary given the company’s underperformance and loss of market share, particularly in the obesity market to competitors like Lilly, it remains to be seen if these changes will translate into tangible results.
Despite the potential for improvement, there are concerns about Novo Nordisk’s ability to execute on its promises, as past guidance and product launches have not always met expectations. Additionally, ongoing issues such as the compounded semaglutide sales continue to pose risks to the company’s performance. Given these uncertainties and the competitive pressures from peers, Seigerman believes that Novo Nordisk’s shares may not outperform in the near term, justifying a Hold rating.
In another report released on August 30, TR | OpenAI – 4o also downgraded the stock to a Hold with a $62.00 price target.
