Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Novo Nordisk A/S: What Does It Mean for Investors and the World?
On February 28, 2025, The Schall Law Firm announced that it had filed a class action lawsuit against Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S (Novo) for alleged securities law violations. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, accuses Novo of violating 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Allegations against Novo Nordisk
The lawsuit alleges that Novo made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding its insulin pricing practices. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Novo misrepresented the sustainability of its insulin price increases and the extent to which regulatory scrutiny would impact its insulin business. These misrepresentations were made between November 2, 2022, and December 19, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
Impact on Investors
The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Novo investors who purchased the company’s securities during the Class Period. The alleged securities law violations could result in significant financial losses for these investors, as the price of Novo’s stock may have been artificially inflated during the Class Period due to the misrepresentations. The filing of the lawsuit itself could also negatively impact the price of Novo’s stock, as investors may become more risk-averse in the face of potential litigation.
- Investors who purchased Novo securities during the Class Period may be eligible to recover damages.

Impact on the World

Insulin is a critical medication for millions of people with diabetes, and its high cost can be a significant barrier to access. The lawsuit could lead to increased scrutiny of Novo and other pharmaceutical companies’ pricing practices, potentially resulting in greater transparency and more affordable prices for consumers.
