Shares in Novo Nordisk fell as much as 6% on Friday to their lowest since August 2021, extending recent losses to wipe out almost all the gains made since the drugmaker launched its blockbuster weight-loss treatment Wegovy.

Compounding pharmacies are crimping sales of Novo Nordisk's obesity drug Wegovy by making what are essentially copies of the name-brand medicine. The company says it trying to stop them.

Partially as a result, Novo Nordisk stock has steadily declined since last summer. Over the past year, NVO shares are down more than 57%. And since the beginning of 2025, the company’s share price has declined more than 35%. As of the time of this writing, NVO shares are down just over 20% this morning to $55.17 per share.
