0808 GMT - Novo Nordisk's downgraded guidance assumes a meaningful uplift of Wegovy volumes in the second half of the year and analysts at Morgan Stanley think the top end of the new guidance is still demanding. The guidance cut implies a 1% cut to consensus sales and EBIT at constant exchange rates but a 4% cut on sales and 6% cut on EBIT including currencies, the bank says. First quarter Wegovy sales missed expectations by 7%, impacted by destocking in the U.S. and compounding competition. Novo Novo also noted lower realized prices. Ozempic beat by 3%.
