Lilly stock is well below its summer highs and is trading at $746.94 at the time of writing. The once red-hot obesity drugmaker is in the crosshairs of bearish technicals and political uncertainty.
Could the selloff be an overreaction?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bearish Signals Galore For LLY Stock</h2>
Lilly stock is trading beneath its eight-, 20-, and 50-day exponential moving averages, firmly positioning it in a bearish trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 33.02 indicates the stock is teetering on oversold territory, while the MACD at negative 37.55 confirms strong downward momentum.
Even the 200-day simple moving average of $835.76 is now a distant memory, amplifying concerns.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kennedy Sends Drugmakers Tumbling</h2>
The broader selloff in anti-obesity drugmakers like Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk AS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) and Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) has been linked to fears over the possible appointment by President-elect Donald Trump of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Investors worry his critical stance on GLP-1 weight-loss treatments could lead to reduced insurance coverage or pricing pressures. While the agency has limited power to enact sweeping changes without Congress, the uncertainty has spooked the market.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Still Room To Run?</h2>
For contrarian investors, the fundamentals paint a different picture. Eli Lilly's Zepbound and Mounjaro sales are projected to hit $18 billion by 2026, doubling from 2024 estimates.
Total revenue is expected to climb to $69 billion by 2026, with earnings soaring to $30 per share — more than double the current $13.26.
And at 33.2 times forward earnings (per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112124&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> data), the stock's valuation looks far more attractive than its July peak of 57.2 times.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
Jim Cramer's take sums up the contrarian sentiment: "This stock is as hated now as it was loved not that long ago. I think it's a buy&#8230; enough on the selling."
For long-term investors, Eli Lilly's dominance in the burgeoning obesity drug market remains a compelling growth story. 
Whether the selloff is a red flag or a golden opportunity may depend on how much faith investors have in the fundamentals.

Eli Lilly Stock Tumbles As Kennedy Targets Weight Loss Drugs

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is facing legal challenges from three competing pharmacy-benefit managers (PBMs) over its attempt to restrict their ability to negotiate drug prices for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41256923/cvs-unitedhealth-request-ftc-chair-recusal-amid-ongoing-pharmacy-benefit-managers-lawsuit" rel="noreferrer noopener">health plan sponsors</a>.
In September, the FTC filed a formal complaint against three major pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—CVS Health Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) Caremark,&nbsp;Cigna Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), Express Scripts, and&nbsp;UnitedHealth Group Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) Optum—for allegedly engaging in unfair and anti-competitive practices that have inflated the list&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39695378/ftc-investigation-uncovers-anti-competitive-practices-by-handful-of-pharmacy-benefit-managers-includ" rel="noreferrer noopener">price of insulin medications</a>.

The&nbsp;complaint&nbsp;accuses the PBMs of creating a system that benefits them financially by prioritizing drug rebates, forcing patients to pay higher costs for life-saving insulin. These PBMs, referred to as the Big Three, administer around 80% of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40964870/us-federal-trade-commission-sues-cvs-health-cigna-unitedhealths-pharmacy-benefit-managers-for-infl" rel="noreferrer noopener">prescriptions in the U.S</a>.
The PBMs argue that this action seeks to upend current drug rebate contracts and disrupt long-standing practices, all while expanding the FTC&#8217;s authority beyond traditional limits.
The companies also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/ExpressScriptsIncetalvFederalTradeCommissionetalDocketNo424cv0154?doc_id=X11H3MUIQJ4995RQ9NSUPGSE2AP" rel="noreferrer noopener">contend</a> that the administrative proceeding violates constitutional principles by lacking independent judicial oversight and claim that the FTC&#8217;s approach could result in significant and irreparable injury.
The lawsuit stems from the FTC&#8217;s attempt to regulate the drug rebate system, allowing PBMs to secure manufacturers&#8217; discounts.
However, the FTC&#8217;s complaint accuses the PBMs of using their power to create an unfair market, alleging that the system allows drug manufacturers to inflate prices.
In challenging the FTC&#8217;s action, the PBMs argue that this is not just a market dispute but a constitutional issue.
They assert that the FTC&#8217;s administrative proceeding, taking place in an in-house forum where the agency decides the facts, the law, and the outcome, is unconstitutional.
Furthermore, the PBMs argue that the FTC&#8217;s decision to handle the case through this in-house process, with a partisan panel of Democratic commissioners, deprives them of a fair trial.

Novo Nordisk Unusual Options Activity For November 19

Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) said it will officially launch its weight-loss drug Wegovy in China.
China&#8217;s National Health Commission survey revealed over half of its 1.4 billion population is overweight or obese.
Wegovy is the world&#8217;s first weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39530614/novo-nordisk-to-restrict-initial-wegovy-sales-in-china-amid-high-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">long-term weight management</a>.
China&#8217;s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved Wegovy in late June. It is intended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher who also have at least one weight-related complication.

Initial sales of Wegovy in China will begin at a public hospital in Shanghai, where the first prescriptions are set to be issued this week, the&nbsp;financial media company&nbsp;Yicai&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/novo-nordisks-weight-loss-drug-to-start-sales-in-china" rel="noreferrer noopener">noted</a>.
The cost of a four-injection pack is reported to be around $194 (CNY 1,400) compared to around $1,349 per patient <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/39042551/novo-nordisk-faces-scrutiny-over-high-prices-of-ozempic-and-wegovy-blames-us-health-system" rel="noreferrer noopener">per month in the U.S</a>.
A month&#8217;s prescription for Wegovy costs $186 in Denmark, $140 in Germany, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41010577/novo-nordisk-to-consider-ways-for-patients-to-affordably-access-weight-loss-drugs-ozempic-wegovy-" rel="noreferrer noopener">$92 in the U.K</a>.
In the U.S., Novo Nordisk has been criticized for charging high prices for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40534249/novo-nordisks-ozempic-might-be-among-2027-medicare-price-negotiation-targets" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wegovy and Ozempic</a>.
While Novo Nordisk&#8217;s CEO&nbsp;Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen&nbsp;has defended the high U.S. prices of the company&#8217;s blockbuster drugs,&nbsp;Ozempic&nbsp;and&nbsp;Wegovy, stating that these medications are reducing the economic burden of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40550961/novo-nordisk-does-not-operate-as-drug-cartel-ceo-defends-us-pricing-of-ozempic-against-criticism-" rel="noreferrer noopener">obesity-related health issues</a>.
Due to the tight supply, access to the medication will be somewhat limited initially, requiring patients to schedule outpatient appointments and undergo a medication assessment.
Currently, Wegovy is not included in China&#8217;s national medical insurance program.
Zhou Xiaping, Novo Nordisk&#8217;s global senior vice president and president for China, noted that the company is actively pursuing strategies to make the drug more affordable, including potential partnerships with commercial insurance providers.
The Bloomberg report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-18/novo-nordisk-launches-wegovy-in-china-with-prices-well-below-us" rel="noreferrer noopener">adds</a> that while many patients in the U.S. and Europe get some help with drug costs through insurance, most Chinese consumers will need to pay for the drug themselves.
Price Action: NVO stock is down 1.67% at $100.04 at the last check on Monday.

<ul>
<li>It is worth a reminder that The Arora Report is politically agnostic.&nbsp; Our sole job is to help our members extract the maximum amount of money out of the markets with the least possible risk.</li>
<li>The price action on the chart shows that the rip roaring Trump rally is taking a breather.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market is still above the breakout line.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that the stock market has pulled back, reflecting a loss of momentum. The stock market is still overbought.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the volume remains low.&nbsp; This indicates that institutional investors are not rushing to buy stocks.</li>
<li>Yesterday, Powell spoke that truth – the market did not like it.&nbsp; Powell said, "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates."&nbsp; Powell elaborated, "The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully."</li>
<li>Powell's remarks brought some selling into stocks and bonds.</li>
<li>This morning, in the early trade, selling continues.</li>
<li>The reason for some selling is that the prevailing wisdom on Wall Street has been that another rate cut in December was a sure thing.&nbsp; The Arora Report has been questioning Wall Street's wisdom and sharing with you that the data does not support another rate cut.</li>
<li>Some conservative commentators are upset believing that the reason Powell started rate cuts with a 50 bps cut was to help Kamala Harris get elected.&nbsp; Now that Trump has been elected, Powell is in no hurry to cut rates.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, even though the data does not support a rate cut in December, Powell is going to feel pressure from Trump and Republicans to cut rates.&nbsp; There is also a significant amount of data between now and the December Fed meeting.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, based on a 360 degree view, including the political pressure and the pressure from Wall Street to cut rates, the probability of a rate cut in December is now about 60%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>There is consternation about several Trump picks.&nbsp; Impacting the market most are Trump's picks of RKF Jr, Matt Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth.&nbsp; These picks are bringing selling in vaccine makers such as Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), BioNTech SE ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), and Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in other healthcare stocks, including weight loss drug companies Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and packaged food stocks such as The Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in defense stocks such as Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), and Rtx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in big tech stocks.</li>
<li>The latest economic data is strong.&nbsp; The U.S. economy is about 70% consumer based.&nbsp; For this reason, prudent investors pay attention to retail sales.&nbsp; Here are the details of the just released data:
<ul>
<li>Retail sales came at 0.4% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Retail sales ex-auto came at 0.1% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>There are hundreds of indicators.&nbsp; At The Arora Report, the system has been refined through decades of research to share with you only those indicators that matter.&nbsp; Normally, we do not mention the NY Fed Empire State Manufacturing Index.&nbsp; Today, we are mentioning it due to its exceptional strength.&nbsp; The index came at 31.2 vs. 3.3 consensus.&nbsp; This indicates that manufacturing in the New York area has picked up steam. &nbsp; If similar strength is happening in the rest of the country, that would argue against further cutting interest rates. The problem for investors is that stock valuations are so high that to sustain them, rate cuts are needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Even the slightest dips in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) are being bought.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Novo Nordisk

On Tuesday, a Cantor analyst wrote that additional data from Amgen&#8217;s experimental weight loss injection, MariTide, suggests a new potential safety risk tied to the drug.
On Wednesday, Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) stated the MariTide (maridebart cafraglutide, formerly AMG 133) Phase 1 data, saying, &#8220;Amgen does not see an association between the administration of MariTide and bone mineral density (BMD) changes. The Phase 1 study results do not suggest any bone safety concerns or change our conviction in the promise of MariTide. We look forward to sharing the Phase 2 topline data <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41932478/amgen-provides-statement-on-maritide-phase-1-data" rel="noreferrer noopener">later this year</a>.&#8221;
CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/12/amgen-stock-falls-on-weight-loss-drugs-bone-density-loss-data.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighted</a> that MariTide could be a strong new contender in the weight loss drug market. Unlike current weekly injections from Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) and Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), MariTide is taken once a month and works through a different mechanism.

Analysts referred to new public data from a phase one study, showing that the highest dose of MariTide (420 milligrams) was associated with around 4% decrease in bone mineral density over 12 weeks.
Goldman Sachs responded that after reviewing the data, they do not believe it shows any safety issues.
Goldman Sachs says BMD measurements from DEXA scans and believes concerns about the data are not justified as there is no significant difference between the treatment and placebo, nor any clear dose-dependent effect in the DEXA data.
The analyst also says a study by Amgen&#8217;s deCODE genetics, which included data from 1.2 million people, found no link between obesity-related variants in the GIPR gene and a higher risk of fractures or lower BMD. It&#8217;s already well-established that rapid weight loss is linked to BMD loss.
William Blair notes that at lower doses of AMG 133 (140 mg and 280 mg), the reduction in bone mineral density is minimal, around 2% at most, which might not differ significantly from the placebo due to limited data in smaller groups.
While the 4% reduction stands out compared to typical reductions of 2% to 2.5%, bariatric surgery has been known to reduce BMD by 3% to 5% after six months.
MariTide, which leads to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/36934096/weight-loss-drugs-new-entrant-amgen-to-compete-with-novo-nordisk-eli-lilly-as-investigational-wei" rel="noreferrer noopener">more significant weight loss</a> over six months than semaglutide or liraglutide, may also result in greater BMD reductions due to this weight change.
Price Action: AMGN stock is up 1.39% at $302.98 at last check Wednesday.

Amgen Defends Its Investigational Monthly Weight Loss Injection After Analyst Cites MariTide's Impact on Bone Density

Health and wellness platform Hims &amp; Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>), which has gained traction for its obesity-related portfolio, has highlighted the ongoing difficulties Americans face in accessing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41811226/compounded-versions-of-weight-loss-and-diabetes-drugs-led-to-death-and-hospitalization-novo-nordi" rel="noreferrer noopener">branded GLP-1 medications</a>.
To address the issue, the company launched a GLP-1 Supply Tracker, allowing individuals to report their experiences and advocate for improved access to essential medication.
The move comes despite last week's update when the FDA revised its shortage list to&nbsp;note&nbsp;that the .25 mg starter dose of semaglutide-based obesity med Wegovy is now&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41685634/popular-weight-loss-drug-wegovy-shows-encouraging-results-in-liver-fibrosis-trial" rel="noreferrer noopener">available in the U.S</a>.
Last month, the FDA removed&nbsp;Eli Lilly And Co's&nbsp;(NYSE: LLY) tirzepatide <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41232660/fda-sparks-controversy-with-sudden-removal-of-eli-lillys-weight-loss-drug-from-shortage-list" rel="noreferrer noopener">from its shortage list</a>.
Since September, Hims &amp; Hers has been collecting data on these access issues. Nearly 80,000 individuals on their platform reported difficulties in obtaining branded GLP-1s, with notable challenges in states with high obesity rates.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41190700/hims-hers-health-asserts-demand-for-its-compounded-weight-loss-offering-to-continue" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hims &amp; Hers Health Asserts Demand For Its Compounded Weight Loss Offering To Continue Despite Resolved Supply Shortages</a>
In Texas, for example, nearly 5,000 customers shared their struggles in acquiring the needed treatment.
The company has been in dialogue with state and federal agencies, relaying its users' experiences to advocate for policy improvements.
The newly launched GLP-1 Supply Tracker aims to deepen understanding of nationwide access challenges.
Within its first week, nearly 7,000 individuals reported difficulties, particularly with medications containing semaglutide, which emerged as the most challenging to obtain.
Semaglutide is an active ingredient in Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Ozempic and Wegovy.
The tool serves as a data collection and advocacy resource, providing the FDA with insights into supporting better healthcare access.
The shortage of branded GLP-1 medications reflects a broader issue in the healthcare landscape, with supply often falling short of surging demand.
Although no formal reports have comprehensively assessed the impact, Hims &amp; Hers' research revealed that nearly 30% of their weight loss customers prescribed branded GLP-1s could not fill their prescriptions due to pharmacy shortages. This trend aligns with a surge in demand as awareness of these treatments grows.
The University of Southern California reported a 442% increase in semaglutide prescriptions from January 2021 to December 2023.
In September, Hims &amp; Hers Health launched the Service Appreciation Initiative, offering compounded GLP-1 weight loss medications to some personnel for as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40944130/hims-hers-to-offer-access-to-compounded-diabetes-and-weight-loss-drugs-for-just-99month-to-certain-p" rel="noreferrer noopener">low as $99 per month</a>.
The initiative covers eligible U.S. military personnel, veterans, teachers, nurses, and first responders.
Price Action: HIMS stock is up 5.77% at $28.23 at the last check Wednesday.

What's Going On With Hims & Hers Health Stock On Wednesday?

Ahead of World Diabetes Day, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called for all insulin manufacturers to provide injection pen devices at $1 per pen.
The humanitarian organization <a target="_blank" href="https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/eli-lilly-novo-nordisk-and-sanofi-must-make-insulin-pens-available-1-each" rel="noreferrer noopener">emphasized</a> that this would help ensure access to life-saving treatment for millions in low- and middle-income countries, where many struggle to afford diabetes care.
MSF highlighted that Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>), which dominate the global insulin market, have the power to set high <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40731728/eli-lillys-once-weekly-insulin-shows-non-inferior-blood-sugar-reduction-vs-frequently-used-daily-" rel="noreferrer noopener">prices that restrict access</a>.

According to MSF, data published in&nbsp;JAMA Network Open&nbsp;shows that insulin pens could be produced for as little as $0.94 per unit and remain profitable, yet current prices far exceed this figure.
For instance, a pen costs $1.99 in South Africa, $5.77 in India, $14.00 in the Philippines, and $90.69 in the U.S.
Dr. Helen Bygrave, an advisor for MSF's Access Campaign, underscored the disparity by recalling the initial intentions of the scientists who discovered insulin. "Over 100 years ago, they sold the patent for just $1 to ensure global access. Now, only about half of those who need insulin can access it," she said.
She stated that the corporate control by Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi has led to a "double standard" that hinders equitable diabetes treatment.
In July, the FDA rejected Novo Nordisk's BLA filing for the once-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39732571/fda-rejects-novo-nordisks-weekly-insulin-requests-information-related-to-manufacturing-process-ty" rel="noreferrer noopener">weekly insulin icodec</a>.
Insulin pens, known for their dosing accuracy and user-friendly design, have been preferred by 82% of surveyed diabetes patients due to their convenience and less invasive administration compared to vials and syringes.
Recently, Novo Nordisk decided to cease insulin pen production to prioritize its GLP-1 medications for diabetes and obesity, like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41775675/ozempicwegovy-maker-maintains-q3-sales-growth-on-booming-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ozempic and Wegovy</a>.
This shift, motivated by profit margins in wealthier markets, could force many patients back to using syringes and vials.
South Africa, which transitioned to insulin pens in its public sector in 2014, recently faced a shortage that led to rationing when Novo Nordisk paused the supply of human insulin pens to the government.

Amgen Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) stock dropped over 7% on Tuesday following revelations about bone density loss in early trials of its experimental obesity drug MariTide, while CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer suggested the news could benefit rival Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
What Happened: Previously undisclosed data from MariTide&#8217;s Phase 1 trial showed a 4% decrease in bone mineral density among participants receiving a 420mg dose during the 12-week multiple ascending dose study. According to Olivia Brayer of Cantor Fitzgerald, the information emerged from hidden tabs in extended data files related to the trial.
MariTide, positioned as a monthly alternative to weekly injections offered by competitors Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) and Eli Lilly, operates through a different weight loss mechanism. The drug&#8217;s development has attracted significant attention due to its potential to disrupt the growing obesity treatment market.
&#8220;If Amgen has hidden bone risk data for its obesity drug, that&#8217;s huge news for Lilly which has become a pathetic stock of late,&#8221; Cramer wrote on X, formerly Twitter, announcing plans to discuss the implications at an upcoming meeting.

Why It Matters: Despite concerns, Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Overweight rating on Amgen with a $405 price target. The firm acknowledged that while some bone density loss is expected during weight loss treatments, particularly with a suboptimal diet, the dose-dependent increase in bone density loss could raise red flags.
The analysis also revealed data about AMG 598, a predecessor molecule that Amgen may have been investigating to challenge assumptions about GIPR antagonism&#8217;s role in bone density loss.
Price Action: Eli Lilly stock closed at $818.86 on Tuesday, down 1.63% for the day, with a slight drop of 0.10% in after-hours trading. Despite this, the stock has seen a strong 38.27% increase year-to-date. 
Meanwhile, Amgen ended the day at $298.84, down 7.14%. However, it saw a slight recovery after hours, rising 0.61%. Amgen's stock has gained 0.49% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Decoding Novo Nordisk's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Germany-based Evotec SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVO#NASDAQ">EVO</a>) is trading on Monday after a report that suggests the company is a takeover target.
The private equity firm Triton Partners&nbsp;is reportedly considering acquiring Evotec, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
In an SEC filing, Evotec <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1412558/000119312524254399/d872020dsc13d.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> that Triton had acquired a 9.99% stake in the company via several open-market transactions.

According to the report, the investment firm has been trying to meet with senior Evotec executives as it looks into a possible buyout.
If Triton wants to increase its stake to 10% or more, it would need approval for foreign investment, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-11/triton-is-said-to-weigh-takeover-deal-for-drug-developer-evotec" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> added.
Any major move would also require backing from Evotec&#8217;s key shareholders, including Novo Holdings, the parent company of Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and the Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Investment.
Last week, the German company reported third-quarter revenues of 184.89 million euros, down from 196.28 million a year ago, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evotec.com/uploads/download-files/IR-ESG-DE/2024-11-06_9M_Analyst-call-presentation.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">noting</a> a soft market in shared R&amp;D.
It <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evotec.com/uploads/download-files/IR-ESG/Financial_Publications/Interim-Statement-9M-2024-English.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> an operating loss of 26.46 million euros, compared to 12.19 million euros loss a year ago.
In its second-quarter earnings, Evotec&#8217;s CEO said the company is operating in a more challenging market environment, notably the slowdown of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40376143/bristol-myers-german-partner-evotec-plans-layoffs-cites-challenging-revenues-profitability" rel="noreferrer noopener">early-stage R&amp;D spending</a>.

Private Equity Triton Partners Takes Around 10% Stake In Evotec, Reportedly Mulls Potential Takeover Deal

The biopharmaceutical sector showed signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2024, fueled by increased investor optimism following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate cuts in September. 
According to GlobalData, the top 20 global biopharmaceutical companies <a href="https://www.globaldata.com/media/business-fundamentals/top-20-global-biopharmaceutical-companies-witness-2-growth-in-market-capitalization-in-q3-2024-reveals-globaldata/#:~:text=As%20a%20result%2C%20the%20top,data%20analytics%20and%20research%20company.">saw</a> a 2% rise in their combined market capitalization, reaching $4.3 trillion by the end of September, up from $4.2 trillion in June.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Leads Biopharma Recovery With Almost 25% Growth In Market Cap, But Novo Nordisk And Lilly Suffer Market Setbacks

Earlier, Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) petitioned the FDA to ban compounding pharmacies from producing cheaper, unapproved versions of its drugs <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41527988/ozempic-can-potentially-cut-risk-of-alzheimers-compared-to-other-diabetic-medicines-study-shows" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wegovy and Ozempic</a>.
Amid shortages and rising demand for branded drugs, compounded semaglutide has gained popularity due to its affordability.
However, Novo Nordisk contends that only FDA-approved versions should be available, emphasizing the safety risks associated with compounded drugs.
Novo Nordisk&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer Karsten Munk Knudsen has reportedly confirmed that the company was aware of at least ten deaths and 100 hospitalizations linked to these compounded versions of semaglutide-based drugs.

However, he noted that no definitive cause of death is identified in the reports, as the data is pulled from the FDA adverse events database.
Last week, the update came as the FDA revised its shortage list to&nbsp;note&nbsp;that the .25 mg starter dose of semaglutide-based obesity med Wegovy is now <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41685634/popular-weight-loss-drug-wegovy-shows-encouraging-results-in-liver-fibrosis-trial" rel="noreferrer noopener">available in the U.S</a>.
Less than a month ago, the FDA removed&nbsp;Eli Lilly And Co&#8217;s&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>)&nbsp;tirzepatide&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41436151/eli-lilly-sues-some-vendors-for-unauthorized-sale-of-fake-weight-loss-drug" rel="noreferrer noopener">from its shortage list</a>.
Soon after the shortage was resolved, the FDA reminded compounders of the legal restrictions on making copies of FDA-approved drugs. The update has sparked concern among medical professionals, patients, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41313216/fda-to-reassess-ban-on-cheaper-compounded-versions-of-eli-lilly-weight-loss-drugs" rel="noreferrer noopener">drug compounding facilities</a>.
A company spokesperson referred Reuters to the FDA&#8217;s database, which tracked these events over the past two years. Adverse event reports, which are submitted by doctors, patients, drugmakers, and others, are primarily used as an early warning system.
These reports are not considered conclusive evidence of causality and often lack important details. Furthermore, it is possible that multiple submissions may describe the same incident.
Knudsen also discussed the company&#8217;s ongoing efforts to address safety concerns related to compounded versions of its drugs.
He mentioned that Novo Nordisk has been monitoring the market for compounded products and has identified several safety issues.
Novo Nordisk argues that these compounded versions may pose safety risks, such as impurities and incorrect dosages, and sometimes lack the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41506422/ozempic-and-wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-asks-fda-to-halt-production-of-compounded-fat-loss-drugs-due-t" rel="noreferrer noopener">active ingredient entirely</a>.
On Wednesday, Novo Nordisk <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41775675/ozempicwegovy-maker-maintains-q3-sales-growth-on-booming-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">released Q3 earnings</a>. &#8220;Following higher-than-expected volume growth in recent years, including GLP-1-based products such as Ozempic and Wegovy, combined with the expectation of continued volume growth and capacity limitations at some manufacturing sites, the outlook also reflects expected continued periodic supply constraints and related drug shortage notifications across a number of products and geographies,&#8221; it added.
Price Action: NVO stock is up 1.59% at $107.04 at the last check on Thursday.
