Citi maintained a neutral rating on Novo Nordisk following the failure of its heart drug ziltevekimab in the ZEUS trial, which showed no benefit over placebo in reducing cardiovascular events. Despite this setback, the drug's expected peak sales are modest and factored into valuations. Citi highlighted ongoing concerns about pricing and competition in the obesity drug market, particularly from rivals like Eli Lilly and new oral GLP-1 formulations. Investors are advised to await upcoming trial results in 2027 before making further decisions.
