Novo Nordisk rebounds sharply on analyst preference over Eli Lilly in GLP-1 race
A Seeking Alpha analysis published January 14 recommended selling Eli Lilly and buying Novo Nordisk instead, citing stretched valuations and rising competition concerns for Lilly. This comes as Novo refocused its strategy on diabetes and obesity at JPM26, with CEO Doustdar signaling intent to regain market leadership from Lilly in the obesity space.

Analysis

Today's gain reverses the prior three-day pullback that saw NVO decline roughly 4.5%. The strategic pivot announced at JPM Healthcare Conference, combined with favorable analyst commentary positioning Novo as the better GLP-1 value play, appears to be driving renewed interest. UBS maintained its Hold rating today with a DKK390 target, providing a neutral backdrop rather than a catalyst.
