Important Information for Novo Nordisk A/S Investors: Securities Class Action Announced
On February 20, 2025, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, a reputable national plaintiffs law firm based in San Francisco, California, announced the filing of a securities class action against Novo Nordisk A/S (Novo or the Company) (NYSE:NVO). The lawsuit alleges that Novo and certain of its executives violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements and omissions to the investing public regarding the Company’s financial results, business, and prospects.
Background
Novo is a leading global healthcare company based in Denmark, with a focus on the discovery, development, manufacture, and marketing of pharmaceutical products. During the Class Period, which spans from November 2, 2022, to December 19, 2024, Novo reported strong financial results and upbeat guidance. However, on December 20, 2024, the Company disclosed that its diabetes drug, Semaglutide, was under investigation by regulatory authorities for potential safety concerns, causing its stock price to plummet.
The Allegations
The securities class action alleges that Novo and certain of its executives made false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the safety and efficacy of Semaglutide, as well as the financial impact of the potential regulatory investigations and related litigation. The complaint further alleges that Novo failed to disclose material information regarding the number of adverse events associated with Semaglutide, the potential regulatory risks, and the financial implications of these risks.

The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for investors who have suffered financial losses as a result of the alleged securities fraud. If the plaintiffs are successful, they may be entitled to recover their losses, as well as any damages for losses resulting from the sale of securities at artificially inflated prices.
Impact on the World
The securities class action against Novo could have far-reaching implications for the pharmaceutical industry and the regulatory landscape. The lawsuit highlights the importance of transparency and accurate disclosures in the pharmaceutical sector, as well as the potential consequences of regulatory investigations and litigation.
