Yihan Li's questions to Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Yihan Li of Barclays asked about Novo Nordisk's confidence in its estimate of the compounding market size and questioned how much of the revised guidance was attributable to the persistence of this illicit market.
Answer
David Moore, EVP of US Operations, confirmed their estimate of the compounding market is around 30% of the total, or one million patients, based on market research. Karsten Knudsen, EVP & CFO, clarified that the revised guidance for the year does not include any potential upside from a reduction in compounding, as any positive impact would likely be delayed into 2026 and beyond.
