Facing increasing competition from local drug manufacturers, Novo Nordisk has announced a price reduction of up to 48% for its obesity treatment Wegovy in China. This strategic move, along with recent FDA approval for an orally administered version of Wegovy, aims to alleviate treatment burdens for patients. Despite these initiatives, Novo Nordisk's stock has declined by over 40% in the past year and is not regarded as a popular choice among hedge funds.
