About this listen

Details the mounting pressures confronting Novo Nordisk as newly appointed CEO Mike Doustdar takes charge during a period of significant board restructuring and investor unease. Following a sharp decline in the company’s stock price from record highs, Novo Nordisk faces growing competition from Eli Lilly in the highly profitable obesity and diabetes drug sector.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation, the firm’s controlling shareholder, has intervened more directly in company governance, pushing for faster decision-making and strategic adaptation amid concerns that previous leadership was moving too cautiously in the rapidly evolving weight-loss market. At the same time, Novo Nordisk is engaged in an acquisition battle with Pfizer over Metsera, a biotech company seen as crucial to bolstering its drug pipeline.
Investors are now closely watching Doustdar’s early statements and strategic direction, particularly regarding diversification beyond the company’s core drug ingredient and potential measures to counter what some analysts view as an emerging slowdown in U.S. demand for obesity treatments.
