NVO
Novo Nordisk is one of the world’s premier providers of novel medicines for diabetic&obese patients. With diabetes expected to afflict 750 million people by 2045, Novo is a pure growth play. Lately, the company has launched a new product, Wegovy, that is the first medicine scientifically proven highly efficacious against obesity. This should open a brand new market for Novo, with the potential to eventually sell the medicine to billions of people world wide. Although Novo’s dividend is modest today, the company’s potential for explosive growth could mean a cash flow bonanza for shareholders.
