$50 BILLION DOLLARS. Gone. In a single trading session.

Yesterday, Novo Nordisk—the company behind Ozempic and Wegovy, the company that basically invented the weight loss drug revolution—watched 18% of its market value disappear in hours.

But here's what makes this story wild. After the crash, their new CEO got in front of investors and said: "People should expect that it goes down before it comes back up."

He told them it gets worse from here.
