  • Launch and early uptake of Wegovy pill.
  • Introduction of higher-dose Wegovy formulations.
  • Ongoing obesity market penetration outside the US.
  • Reversal of 340B provisions supporting reported results.

Headwinds

  • Lower realized prices in the US market.
  • Most Favoured Nations agreement impact on pricing.
  • Patent expiry of semaglutide in some international markets.
  • Intensifying competition in GLP-1 therapies.
  • Reduced Medicaid coverage for obesity medications in the US.
