Novo Nordisk says it is increasing its full-year outlook for 2026 after strong demand for its weight-loss treatment Wegovy.

Quartz adds that the company’s profit is tracking higher than expected, linking the improved performance to the scale of U.S. prescribing.

Overall, the coverage centers on the same development: Novo Nordisk’s revised outlook is driven by sustained sales of Wegovy, supported by cumulative U.S. prescriptions exceeding five million and signs of broader international adoption.
