The Obesity Pill Rush: Healthcare ETFs to Gain as FDA Nods to Novo Drug

FDA approval of NVO's oral Wegovy could reshape obesity care and lift healthcare ETFs, offering investors diversified exposure to the GLP-1 boom.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>FDA approval of Wegovy’s oral formulation gives Novo Nordisk an early lead in a potentially large new segment of the weight-loss market.</li><li>&nbsp;Pricing pressures, supply constraints, and intensifying competition from Lilly continue to be headwinds for the stock.</li><li>Sustained stock upside will depend on pill adoption, margin discipline, and the company’s ability to reaccelerate growth after a sharp reset.</li></ul>Novo Nordisk’s (NVO) year started on a sour note, as a broader stock uptrend seen since 2017 stalled and it began a steady descent, dragged by a host of factors. With the company likely to be the first to market with an oral diabetic pill following the U.S. FDA’s nod for the same, investors hope the stock may have hit bottom and is positioned to turn a new leaf in the new year.For the year-to-date period,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVO">Novo Nordisk’s stock</a> is down nearly 43%, while from its February peak, it is down a steeper 50%.&nbsp;That sets it on track for its worst year since 1984, according to Koyfin data.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/NVO_1_YEAR_Return_png_86f6e1f305.webp" alt="NVO 1 YEAR Return.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Ailed NOVO Stock?</h2>Novo may have revolutionized the obesity drug race with its semaglutide diabetes drug, which was marketed as Ozempic. Initially, Ozempic was used off-label for weight loss before the Danish company gained regulatory approval for a higher dose of semaglutide, under the brand name Wegovy, exclusively for treating obesity.The weight-loss drug maker’s fortunes have since taken a turn for the worse. Citing lower growth for its GLP-1 treatment in diabetes and obesity, the company trimmed its 2025 forecast for the third time this year. To make matters worse, the company had to agree to a price cut for the direct-to-consumer sales in the U.S. to align with the Trump administration’s efforts to make drugs accessible and affordable.To make matters worse, late-stage trial results for NOVO’s next-generation drug CargiSema failed to resonate with investors, exerting further downward pressure on the stock.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Weight-Loss — Panacea For Stock?</h2>At least, the stock reaction to the FDA nod for the pill formulation of Wegovy suggests investors are optimistic about Novo Nordisk’s newest opportunity. The stock was up nearly 8% in the premarket session on Tuesday. If the premarket move holds in the regular session, the stock is on track for its best day in nearly a year. Lilly (LLY), which has taken a lead over Novo Nordisk in the obesity drug race, fell 0.71% in the premarket.Retail sentiment toward the stock has turned ‘extremely bullish’ following the release of the data, reversing from the ‘bearish’ mood seen a day ago.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:716/442;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_23_at_7_18_06_AM_png_a08b931f72.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 7.18.06 AM.png" width="716" height="442"></figure>A retail watcher&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/Promisbarber/message/639949439">lauded</a> the approval as “great” but remained cautious. “But supply, pricing, and competition still matter,” they said. Another user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/showtime1/message/639949319">expects</a> the stock to go up by 30%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Road Ahead For Novo Nordisk</h2>According to McKinsey, nearly one in three adults in the U.S., or about 100 million people, meet the clinical criteria for obesity. Add to this the 900 million people worldwide, and the addressable opportunity swells. And a bulk of this target population will likely gravitate toward an oral pill.Citing analysts, a Reuters report <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/novo-nordisk-wins-us-approval-weight-loss-pill-2025-12-22/">said</a>, by 2030, pills may account for about 20% of the market, driven by demand from patients who prefer easier, non-invasive therapies. Christopher Chrisman, a managing director and partner at consultancy BCG, reportedly said:“The pills will not displace or replace the injections," said Christopher Chrisman, a managing director and partner at consultancy BCG, adding some patients may prefer to continue with weekly injections. But pills offer clear advantages to some people. There's travel convenience and no need for a fridge.”The 1.5-mg starting dose of the Wegovy pill will be available in early January. Reuters also said Novo and Lilly had agreed to offer starter doses of their weight‑loss pills at $149 per month for the U.S. government Medicare and Medicaid health insurance programs and to cash-paying customers via the White House's direct-to-consumer TrumpRx site.Novo Nordisk now has a lead over Lilly's oral pill to be sold under the brand name “Orforglipron,” a late-stage candidate.

Novo Nordisk’s Worst Year In Over Four Decades May Be Ending — Thanks To A Weight-Loss Pill

NVO has suffered a steep year-to-date decline amid slowing GLP-1 growth, pricing pressure, and investor disappointment over its pipeline, but year-end has brought some good news for the company.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Global obesity-drug sales could exceed $130–150B by the mid-2030s, driven by GLP-1/GIP drugs and expanding access beyond the U.S.</li><li>Lilly strengthens its leadership with a deep pipeline, while Novo faces slowing growth, price cuts, and disappointing CargiSema data.</li><li>New entrants—from Wave Life Sciences to Amgen, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer—intensify competition in an expanding market.</li></ul>The weight-loss category has emerged as pharma’s new sweet spot, propelling Eli Lilly (LLY) to become the first trillion-dollar&nbsp;healthcare company. The momentum hasn’t been limited to the giants—several smaller players have also surged on the back of their obesity drug pipelines. The scramble for dominance in weight-loss therapeutics now mirrors the AI arms race in tech, with companies pouring capital, talent, and research into a market too transformative to ignore.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/WVE">Wave Life Sciences Ltd.’s (WVE) shares</a> jumped nearly 150% on Monday after the small-cap biotech announced positive interim early-stage trial data for its obesity treatment candidate, codenamed “WVE-007.” Wall Street went gaga over the data, with the stock receiving a raft of generous price target raises and even a few upgrades.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Anti-Obesity Drug Market — Bulky Opportunity</h2>The weight-loss drug market is currently essentially a duopoly — one dominated by Danish pharma giant Novo Nordisk (NVO) and Lilly. But there are hordes of other large-cap pharma giants and small fries waiting in the wings. But is the field lucrative enough to justify the strong interest?Morgan Stanley in May raised its global weight-loss medication market estimate for 2035 to $150 billion, calling it the peak potential, up from $105 billion. If the forecast proves accurate, the market is expected to grow exponentially, from $15 billion in 2024. According to the firm’s analyst Terence Flynn, “We believe we are now at an inflection point for the broadening of obesity drugs’ use, which will extend beyond the U.S. to larger numbers of patients globally.”Coherent Market Insights puts the global market opportunity at $82.55 billion by 2032, growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% from $25.87 billion in 2025. Health information technology company IQVIA estimates the anti-obesity medication market to grow at a CAGR of 13-15% to $130 billion by 2034.<h4 class="st-heading-4" style="text-align:center;">Obesity Drug Market: Rapid Growth Through 2035</h4><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_09_at_3_48_53_AM_png_f0daa98697.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-09 at 3.48.53 AM.png">Source: IQVIAAccording to McKinsey, nearly one in three adults in the U.S., or about 100 million people, meet the clinical criteria for obesity.

These are injectable drugs that mimic natural gut hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) to slow digestion, reduce appetite, and lower blood sugar. Dual-class agonists, such as Lilly’s Zepbound (chemically, tirzepatide), combine agonist activity to produce a better effect by working synergistically in the brain and gut.Some of the other modalities used by currently marketed drugs and those in development are:<ul><li>Lipase inhibitors (block fat-digesting enzymes in the gut)</li><li>Appetite suppressants (target specific genes/receptors for hunger)</li><li>Hormone/analog-based agents (slow gastric emptying)</li><li>Genetic/receptor-targeted therapies (used for rare forms of obesity; work by regulating via the central nervous system)</li></ul>Wave Sciences’s WVE-007 uses RNA interference (RNAi) to silence the INHBE gene, thereby reducing Activin E protein levels and promoting fat burning.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Lily Soars, Novo Lags</h2>Novo Nordisk may have revolutionized the obesity drug race with its semaglutide diabetes drug, which was marketed as Ozempic. Initially, Ozempic was used off-label for weight loss before the Danish company gained regulatory approval for a higher dose of semaglutide, under the brand name Wegovy, exclusively for treating obesity.The company has further beefed up the portfolio with Saxenda, an injectable formulation used in adults and some adolescents.Novo Nordisk has also filed for regulatory approval for an oral formulation of its obesity drug and a long-acting GLP-1 analogue intended as a once-weekly treatment for obesity. The company also has several other candidates in various stages of development, including its next-generation drug candidate CargiSema.&nbsp;The weight loss credentials of CargiSema, gleaned from two late-stage trial results, haven’t lived up to the hype, serving as a drag on the stock. The company has, however, maintained that it is on track to file a regulatory submission in the first quarter of 2026.Rival Lilly’s has an FDA-approved obesity treatment, Zepbound, and its diabetes drug Mounjaro is also used to treat obesity. The company’s obesity pipeline is brimming with activity, including:&nbsp;<ul><li>Once-daily, oral GLP-1 receptor agonist Orforglipron (Phase 3 development)</li><li>Triple-acting injectable incretin called Retatrutide (targeting GLP1+GIP and glucagon receptors)</li><li>Once-weekly injectable late-stage candidate Eloralinitide</li><li>Mid-stage Bimagrunab that came into its stable through its Versanis Bio buy (works by reducing fat mass even while preserving muscle mass)</li></ul>Novo Nordisk’s weight-loss drug’s charm has since then declined. Citing lower growth for its GLP-1 treatment in diabetes and obesity, the company trimmed its 2025 forecast for the third time this year. To make matters worse, the company had to agree to a price cut for the direct-to-consumer sales in the U.S. to align with the Trump administration’s efforts to make drugs accessible and affordable.The slowing sales of this money-spinning portfolio led to the ouster of Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen in May. The board explicitly stated that the exit was due to market challenges it faced and the resulting decline in the stock price since mid-2024.Here’s a look at how obesity portfolios of both companies have fared:<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/How_Much_Revenue_Do_Novos_Obesity_Drugs_Generate_jpg_9b42c387d7.webp" alt="How_Much_Revenue_Do_Novos_Obesity_Drugs_Generate.jpg"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/How_Much_Revenue_Do_Novos_Obesity_Drugs_Generate_jpg_5e73990a2a.webp" alt="How_Much_Revenue_Do_Novos_Obesity_Drugs_Generate.jpg">Source: Fiscal.ai*Ozempic and Mounjaro sales may not be entirely attributable to the obesity indication since they are used off-label for the indication.On Monday, JPMorgan slashed its price target for Novo Nordisk by 30% but maintained an ‘Overweight’ rating, the Fly reported. Argus downgraded the stock to ‘Hold’ from ‘Buy,’ citing the loss of share in the GLP-1 drug market and the price cuts in the U.S. The firm also flagged potential generic competition in some international markets and the lukewarm results from ongoing trials of pipeline candidates.&nbsp;On the other hand, Eli Lilly stock received a price target hike from Guggenheim to $1163 from $1,036. The firm said the action followed the updation of its models for the two obesity drug rivals to reflect prescription trends, GLP-1 pricing updates, and announcements.&nbsp;The stock prices of <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/LLY">Lily</a> and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVO">Novo Nordisk</a> have captured the reversing fortunes of both companies.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/LLY_VS_NVO_Stock_png_8157958009.webp" alt="LLY VS NVO Stock.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">Other Players Knocking On The Door</h2><ul><li>Amgen - MariTide (Phase 3)</li><li>Boehringer Ingelheim - Survodutide (Phase 3)</li><li>AstraZeneca - AZD-6235, AZD-5004 (Phase 2)</li><li>Arrowhead - ARO-ALK7 (Phase 2)</li><li>Regeneron - Trevogrumab (Phase 2)</li><li>Roche - RG-6640 (Phase 2)</li><li>Pfizer - PR-07976016 (Phase 2)</li><li>Viking - VK-2735 (Phase 2)</li></ul><h2 class="st-heading-2">The Future</h2>Drugmakers see the shift from injectables to oral formulations as the holy grail of obesity treatment. Lilly and Novo Nordisk both have an oral drug candidate in late-stage development. The latter could leave the worst behind and regain its lead if it can convince regulators of Cargisema's efficacy and safety.&nbsp;Morgan Stanley sees the supply, additional clinical benefits for other diseases, expanded payer coverage, pill formulation and more efficient delivery mechanisms as factors that can increase the uptake of the obesity drugs.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nasdaq-s-and-p-500-futures-freeze-amid-fresh-trump-tariff-threats-fed-jitters/cLIr8v9REZ5">Nasdaq, S&amp;P 500 Futures Freeze As Fresh Trump Tariff Threats On Mexico, India Collide With Fed Jitters — Strategist Warns Santa Rally Looks Unlikely</a>
