Novo Nordisk's stock climbed nearly 3% Friday as investors reacted to competitor Eli Lilly's aggressive pricing strategy for its obesity drug Zepbound. The Danish pharmaceutical giant now holds a temporary advantage in European markets where Lilly announced significant price increases—a MOVE that could spark consumer backlash.
The development comes amid heightened scrutiny of drug pricing. While Novo Nordisk received one of 17 warning letters from the TRUMP administration demanding price reductions, the company has yet to signal any intention to follow Lilly's lead. Market observers note this creates a rare pricing power imbalance in the competitive GLP-1 drug market.
