Barclays Reiterates an 'Underweight' on Novo Nordisk (NVO); Shares Trading As If Not Risk Priced In

Barclays reiterates an 'Underweight' on Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO).

Analyst, Brian Bourdot, said, "Novo Nordisk stock seems priced for flawless launch and growth of its new insulin degludec (Tresiba) for diabetes. We see near-term uncertainties in the form of physician unfamiliarity and a strong defence from Sanofi (NYSE: SNY). We see long-term risks from Lilly's (NYSE: LLY) LY2605541 and potentially other competitors, as well as a tougher pricing environment. We do not see these risks reflected in Novo's multiple of 20x 2013 earnings and reiterate our rating."
