How Ozempic And Wegovy Accidentally Made Novo Nordisk A $400B Company

Pharmaceutical giant, Novo Nordisk, is now Europe’s most valuable company, worth more than its home country, Denmark’s total economy. That wasn’t always the case, and only recently, through its popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, is it witnessing unprecedented financial success. For a century, the company predominantly focused on insulin and treating those with Type 2 diabetes. In its 2023 second quarter, the company reported a 46% increase in net profits and a 32% increase in sales compared to the same quarter the year prior. Alongside competitors like Eli Lilly the company is hoping to help treat the 1 billion people worldwide who are affected by obesity and hence transform a largely untapped market.
