Novo Nordisk could run with healthcare stocks as tech sells off, helped by the midterm health trend of the last 20 years. The market seems to be looking for value in health and pharma. Novo's $11.8 billion in free cash flow and major buybacks at these levels should eventually lift its depressed price once investors realize Novo and Eli Lilly can both do well in oral GLP-1s, where Novo leads. Novo might have found a bottom. x.com 

Novo Nordisk is one of the best opportunities in the market and a safe haven in an AI-driven market, crushed while its long-term growth story is rebuilt. It trades at 9x earnings with a 4.64% dividend yield, controls about 80% of the GLP-1 weight-loss pill market and plans to scale oral GLP-1 capacity 10x by 2030. Revenue growth is expected to return to double digits in 2027, and it has partnered with Anthropic on drug discovery. It would need a 110% rally to regain its 200-week average. x.com 

Novo Nordisk's management showed too little action against near-term problems, leaving the case in real doubt for the first time. A 5-10-year recovery plan clashes with the semaglutide patent expiring within that window, already lost in Canada, India and Turkey, while Eli Lilly poses real threats. Pipeline work in blood/endocrine, liver and cardiovascular is exciting and diversifying would be a game changer, and NovoCare is a positive, but the clock is running and management is uninspiring. … Show more

Novo Nordisk is cheap at about 9x earnings, even assuming zero earnings growth. At 15x its current earnings it would be worth about $61 a share, and at 20x about $82. That $82 level is roughly a return to the 200-week moving average, about 115% upside, so the fundamental rerating and the technical target point to the same area. x.com 

Novo Nordisk is priced as if its story were permanently broken, and it is not. GLP-1 competition, pricing pressure and weaker guidance are fair concerns, but it remains one of the most important healthcare companies in the world, in one of the biggest markets on earth. Along with ServiceNow, it is one of the two names most liked at current levels, and its drawdown looks interesting. x.com 

Novo Nordisk's AI partnerships won't pay off in the stock until its R&D bill starts behaving differently. R&D rose from DKK 14.2bn in 2019 to DKK 52.0bn in 2025, from 11.7% to 16.8% of sales, and 2026 brought a failed ZEUS trial, DKK 6.3bn of pipeline impairments and sales guided at 0% to -6%. The stock fell hard on those events but barely moved on the OpenAI, AWS and Anthropic deals. Disclosing a metric like time from target to first human dose would make them priceable. x.com 

Novo Nordisk trades at its lowest valuation ever, about 7x earnings, in the same year it launched one of the most in-demand oral medications in the world. Competition from Eli Lilly is a real headwind, but even if Novo's oral market share fell to 50% it should do fine, and an expected 1-3% earnings drop next year hardly justifies 7x. Novo should still be competing at a similar scale in seven years. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Eli Lilly should see further positive revenue revisions as it expands the weight-loss market by reducing gastrointestinal side effects and lowering treatment costs. Strong demand for Mounjaro and Zepbound drove a second FY2026 revenue guidance raise in three months, to $91B-$92B from $85B-$87B. Lilly Direct and the Medicare Bridge program for seniors aim to make treatment cheaper. At 29x 2027 earnings against 15% revenue and 20% EPS growth projected for 2027-30, Lilly still looks cheap. x.com 

Novo Nordisk's P/E is expected to rise because its earnings are expected to drop. The market is forward-looking, not backward-looking, and it doesn't like companies that have completely messed up for years, as Novo has. x.com 

Novo Nordisk is far too cheap in the $30s given its earnings power. It earned about $1 million of net income every 34 minutes in 2025, yet the stock fell 40% that year and is down 25% this year, even allowing for its 2032-2035 outlook. x.com
