TL;DR Summary

Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk has reported a significant increase in sales and profits due to the success of its weight-loss drug semaglutide. Sales of Novo Nordisk's diabetes and obesity drugs rose from 113bn Danish kroner to 154bn kroner in the nine months leading up to September 2023. However, the company is struggling to meet the high demand for semaglutide. The drug's effectiveness in treating obesity has gained widespread recognition, with notable figures such as Elon Musk and Boris Johnson claiming to have taken it. Novo Nordisk's market value has nearly doubled since the start of 2022, making it Europe's most valuable company.
