Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Novo Nordisk A/S: What Investors Need to Know
On March 18, 2025, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announced the filing of a class action securities lawsuit against Novo Nordisk A/S (“Novo” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NVO). The lawsuit alleges securities fraud against the Danish pharmaceutical company, affecting investors who purchased or otherwise held Novo securities between November 2, 2022, and December 19, 2024.
Class Definition and Allegations
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeks to recover damages for investors who suffered losses due to Novo’s alleged misrepresentations regarding the safety and efficacy of its drugs, particularly its GLP-1 receptor agonists, Victoza and Levemir.
According to the complaint, Novo and certain of its executives made false and misleading statements about the safety and efficacy of these drugs, failing to disclose the risks of pancreatic cancer and thyroid cancer associated with the use of Victoza and Levemir. The lawsuit alleges that these misstatements artificially inflated Novo’s stock price, causing investors to purchase Novo securities at artificially inflated prices.
