NOV Stock – An Investor’s Gold Mine?Over a billion people worldwide suffer from obesity. Physical exercise and various treatments often require a lot of effort and time to have any noticeable result. If a pharmaceutical company comes along and invents a magical drug that can help people lose weight without making any effort, that would undoubtedly revolutionize the industry. This is essentially what happened when the pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk (XETR: NOV) released its weight-loss drug three years ago. The company’s market value has more than doubled, becoming bigger than the GDP of Denmark, its home country. With recent expansions into the US obesity market, the upward trend is only expected to continue, to the point that some analysts believe Novo will join the trillion-dollar club in just a few years. NOV Stock & the Obesity Market Even though It’s common knowledge at this point that obesity is one of the biggest health issues facing adults in the US, the numbers can still shock you when you hear them. According to the CDC, obesity currently affects around 100 million adults and 14.7 million children. That’s approximately 61% of the total population. The costs resulting from obesity are also insane, accounting for approximately $147 billion in annual healthcare costs. Obesity is often seen as a problem with an individual’s lifestyle or behavior. However, more and more people are coming to think of obesity as a disease that requires medical intervention, at least in some cases. An important step in this direction was the American Medical Association’s recognition of obesity as a disease. Since then, big pharmaceutical companies have started the process of developing new weight-loss drugs that are safer and more effective than most available obesity products. So, the current situation is that there’s a growing demand for obesity drugs, and the market is especially huge in the US. Experts estimate that around 15 million people in the US will be on obesity medication by 2030. Overall, the obesity drug market is projected by some analysts to be worth over $100 billion in less than ten years. The obesity market is a gold mine for any pharmaceutical company capable of seizing the opportunity to develop an efficient drug to satisfy the ongoing demand. This is exactly what the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk has been doing with its new groundbreaking drugs, Wegovy and Ozempic. The Magical Drugs Both drugs were originally invented by the company to treat type 2 diabetes. This obviously means that they help control blood sugar. But by far, their most significant effect is their ability to manipulate hunger signals to the brain. This tricks the body into feeling full and slows the stomach’s emptiness rate. This effect has proven to be magical for people attempting to lose weight. Over time, studies have shown that both drugs reduce body weight by 15%. For a person suffering from obesity, this number can mean the difference between life and death. The Food and Drug Administration approved Ozempic in 2017 for diabetes and Wegovy in 2021 for obesity. In 2022, they were joined by a new drug named Mounjaro, also introduced as a diabetes treatment with the same effects on appetite that result in significant weight loss. Novo filed for the FDA’s approval for obesity treatment and got it in November of 2023. The effects of these drugs have been described as miraculous. Some claim that their appetite dropped so much that they started saving hundreds of dollars per month on food because they stopped ordering takeout. The success of the drugs has also been reflected in the company’s staggering quarterly reports. Mounjaro sales, for example, saw a mind-boggling year-over-year increase of 6250% in Q3 2023, growing from merely $16 million to $1 billion. This growth shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Novo’s Q2 2024 reports beat expectations, with an overall increase of 31% in sales and to $33.71 billion. Net operating profit also strikingly moved up 37% to $14.89 billion. The company expected the sales growth to continue, predicting another 18% to 26% jump for the next quarter. This only makes sense since the market is still in its infancy. The number of people actively benefiting from the drugs is less than 1% of the estimated total number of people suffering from obesity all over the world. NOV Stock Recent Performance The company’s recent growth has exceeded $505 billion in market value. The number is bigger than Denmark’s entire GDP, leading some to describe the country’s economy as powered mainly by this one company. On a global scale, though, the company has fierce competitors. One of the obesity drugs making headway into the market is Eli Lilly’s Zepboud, which was approved in November of 2023. The US-based company is Novo’s main rival and the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, with a market cap of $612 billion. Both companies are expected to be the first in the health industry to join the trillion-dollar club in just a few years. But plans for expansion come with a host of pressing concerns that Novo must quickly address, which brings us to some of the risks you should be aware of if you decide to invest in the company’s stock. First, it’s ironic that the drug has been very successful to the point that the company hasn’t been able to keep up with the increasing demand, the result being some supply chain issues. For example, in late 2023, the company decided to cut the supply of starter doses of Wegovy to keep supplying people who are already taking the drug. The company expects the drug to remain restricted for some time into 2024, and has recently started easing the curb. In response to the issue, Novo has been ferociously expanding its supply chain and investing in research and production facilities. In 2023 alone, the company invested more than $10 billion to deal with the problem. Given the drugs’ resounding success, investors probably shouldn’t worry too much about the cash burn resulting from these investments. The recently reported profits are more than enough to cover the expenses for many years. Another issue that could slow down the company’s growth is the high price tag of the drugs, combined with the unfortunate fact that private and public insurers mostly don’t cover them. Wegovy, for instance, costs $1,350 monthly, and Mounjaro isn’t much cheaper, with a price tag of $1,025 per month. Federal insurance programs like Medicare and Medigap don’t cover weight-loss medications by law, which has been the case since 2006. Though admittedly, some Medigap and Medicare programs for retirees do, As for private insurers, they usually don’t cover drugs with the active ingredient contained in Novo’s products if they’re prescribed for weight loss only. There’s reason to be optimistic when it comes to insurance, though. Recently, Novo released a multi-year study called SELECT, which shows that the company’s drugs are notably effective at preventing cardiovascular conditions, which can be worsened by diabetes or obesity. If the drugs are approved by the FDA for cardiovascular treatment, it’s expected that many insurance providers will cover them if they are prescribed for this reason. Many insurance plans already cover some of the drugs when they’re prescribed for type-2 diabetes. So this will help many more people afford the drugs through insurance. This is not to mention that the company is already making an effort to lower the prices, but this is probably going to take a few years, especially since it cannot even supply the drug at a satisfactory rate yet. NOV Stock Forecast Overall, these difficulties don’t seem to be particularly difficult to overcome. Even if the drugs remain expensive, the recent boom in sales will probably continue for the next few years, given how huge the market is. As for the supply issues, we’ve seen that the company has more than enough time and cash to handle them. Patents for this kind of medicine have lasted ten years, so we can expect the company to keep growing until at least 2031. If the drug becomes available in pill form, which is an active research project for Novo, the patent will last ten more years, and we can safely assume that the upward trend will keep going until then. Overall, Novo could probably be the next gold mine for investors.

VCP Breakout Buy in NVONovo Nordisk is emerging from a textbook volatility compression pattern (VCP) - the setup made famous by Mark Minervini. Notice the series of progressively shallower pullbacks from left to right as supply has been absorbed by buyers. NVO is a market-leading stock by all accounts. Shares are up 75% over the last twelve months with no signs of slowing down. This is largely thanks to its new weight loss drug showing tremendous results in clinical trials. The company has also experience accelerating earnings growth for the last several quarters - another favorite quality of Minervini's for identifying top performers. NVO looks buyable here as a swing trade with a stop loss 9-10% below the current price.

Novo Nordisk In-depth analysis Novo Nordisk A/S, a healthcare company, engages in the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of pharmaceutical products worldwide. It operates in two segments, Diabetes and Obesity care, and Rare Disease. The Diabetes and Obesity care segment provides products in the areas of insulins, GLP-1 and related delivery systems, oral antidiabetic products, obesity, glucagon, needles, and other chronic diseases. The Rare Disease segment offers products in the areas of haemophilia, blood disorders, endocrine disorders, growth disorders, and hormone replacement therapy. The company has a collaboration agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc.; and research collaboration with Novo Nordisk to discover cell-specific carriers of nucleic acid therapeutics. The company was founded in 1923 and is headquartered in Bagsvaerd, Denmark. Macroeconomics Fundamental analysis suggests that the US may enter into recession in the near future. Interest rates are currently around 5% and are not expected to fall. US yields are rising, which does not suggest that they will pivot soon. If the US goes into recession, other countries are likely to follow and go into recession as well. This is why it is important to monitor how the NVO performs in a recession. Recession is hitting NVO, but the company is more stable than SP500. Valuation method - Sector analysis The health care sector did not impress last year, but over 5 years it returned 41%, which is an average of 8.2% per year. It is also underperformed against SP500. The large cap sector is doing very well, but low beta is quite disappointing. Valuation Method - relative The company is not the outlier, but it has outperformed most of its peers. PE and other ratios are high, which means the company is overvalued but the market is willing to pay the premium for this stock. Valuation Method - absolute Diabetes is one of the most common causes of death in the world and shortens a human life by an average of 8 years! Anyone with the disease needs immediate treatment. Currently, over 50% of sales of diabetes drugs are generated in the USA, as the American healthcare system is enormously lucrative for producers. The market is growing constantly, and due to increasing affluence and the accompanying poor diet, this will not change in the future. Another trend is not coming from consumers, but from the companies themselves: There are fewer and fewer companies doing research on diabetes. Research is not easy. There are not many big competitors, but new products are regularly coming onto the market that work even better and for longer. So the competition is gradually being squeezed out of the market. The established companies such as Novo Nordisk or Boehringer Ingelheim benefit enormously from this and can further expand their position in the market. Business The business appears to be stable and very profitable. Together with Elly Lilly, NVO has contracts with the US government for its diabetes products. They recently announced a new innovative product - the diabetes pencil, which is already approved in many countries. The company has many production facilities in different countries reducing the foreign exchange risk, which in current situation with high interest rates is very important. R&D pipeline The scientists are currently working on novel and innovative treatments to address the unmet needs of people living with diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, haemophilia, growth disorders and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The R&D pipeline is pretty big and from the financial statement we see that every year they expand the pipeline. Countries with R&D facilities - 5 "Novo Nordisk to invest $2.3bn to expand Danish manufacturing facilities" Employment Leaders have been with the company for a long time, have proven their leadership skills. There are various social programmes to please the employers. Employment is rising year on year. Performance It is very clear from the annual accounts that NVO is doing quite well - sales, turnover and profits are growing. Debt is coming down. They have a diversified asset portfolio that avoids market risk. Dividends Dividends are not so high, but they are increasing every year, which gives us some sense of stability. The payout and coverage ratios are also very good. Ownership There is no lack of institutions investing in this company - Renaissance Technologies, Bank of America Corporation, Morgan Stanley, Blackrock Inc. and others. There are also several mutual fund holders. Consensus rating is "buy", made by several analysts. Technical analysis The market structure is currently bullish. Price is moving in a bullish channel and until this channel holds, NVO should remain "Buy". At the moment, the price is bouncing off the upper band of the channel and appears to be overbought. There is also an imbalance to be closed from the previous impulse move. RSI is suggesting a bullish structure. Valuation method - fair price The fair value models suggest that the company is currently overvalued. According to the VaR, the price could fall to USD 70-80, which is in line with the lower band of the channel and the moving averages. I would say that 70 usd is the fair value for that company, considering all the valuation metrics. Summery Although the stock is overvalued, it seems to have a lot of potential to go up in the future. The business model is very good and stable, and is backed up by the company's accounts. At the moment, all stocks are falling due to the current economic situation, so when the NVO reach the reaction area, we should watch how it will react.

mean reversion with enhancementsIm looking for mean reversion opportunities in this stock currently. My SL is bassed on time to profit ratio. i dont use stop losses but will get out if theres a 50% decline. I tested for probalistic monthly sharpe ratio outperformance of the s and p 500. I tested for monthly normality with the kolmogrov smirnov statistic. and looked for a non-significant p-value in order to signify the distibution fitting I measured the annual sharpe ratio outperformance. I also measured the uler,calmar,sterling and martin ratio to compare ma drawdown, avg drawdown and loss after previous loss using the ulcer index. I used the hurst exponent to measure if the return distributions are indeed mean reverting then lastly i created a portfolio based around a basket of qualified stocks and maximized its sharpe ratio.
