🙌 FDA’s ‘Green Light’ for Wegovy, Novo Nordisk’s Roller-Coaster Ride Just Found a Booster

2 Minute Read

Novo Nordisk’s blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy has been moonlighting. Already the darling of diet clinics and celebrity Instagram posts, it just scored FDA approval for treating liver disease — proving that in 2025, even medications are diversifying their revenue streams.

Shares of Novo Nordisk shot higher, because nothing gets Wall Street more excited than a pill that cures one thing while accidentally fixing another. For years, Wegovy was marketed as the solution to America’s collective “extra fries” problem. Now, it’s also a ticket to healthier livers — and, coincidentally, healthier portfolios.

Wegovy might be slimming waistlines, but it’s bulking up balance sheets with the ferocity of a bodybuilder on a bulking cycle. Traders who got in early are now flexing gains like they’ve just hit the gym, while latecomers are left asking their brokers if they, too, can get a prescription.

Why Investors Love It

A single drug with multiple approvals means revenue streams more diversified than most ETFs.

A biotech rally fueled not by memes, but by actual science (a rare feat these days).

And, of course, the irresistible irony: a weight-loss treatment making Wall Street’s collective pockets heavier.
