Novo Nordisk shares dropped sharply in pre-market trading after disappointing clinical trial results for its GLP-1 drug in Alzheimer's treatment, while several other stocks also declined ahead of Monday's opening bell.

U.S. stock futures climbed Monday morning, with Nasdaq futures up around 100 points. But not everyone was joining the party.

Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) took the biggest hit in pre-market trading, with shares plummeting after the pharmaceutical giant released disappointing news from its Evoke Phase 3 trials. The data showed that GLP-1 drugs—the class of medications that includes the company's blockbuster weight-loss treatments—did not demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in Alzheimer's disease progression.

The company's shares tumbled 9.3% to $43.22 in pre-market trading, a meaningful blow for investors who had hoped the popular drug class might expand beyond diabetes and weight management.

Other Notable Pre-Market Decliners

Geospace Technologies Corp (GEOS) led the pack of losers, dropping 13.7% to $11.05 in pre-market action. This extended the pain from Friday's session, when the stock already fell 26%.

Inventiva ADR (IVA) slipped 6.1% to $4.04 after the company reported its cash position as of September 30, 2025 and revenues for the first nine months of 2025.

Datavault AI Inc (DVLT) fell 5.8% to $2.40, giving back some of Friday's impressive 46% rally.

Waldencast PLC (WALD) declined 5.5% to $2.91 following the release of operating results for the second quarter and a trading update for the third quarter.

Pacific Biosciences of California Inc (PACB) dropped 4.1% to $2.13, reversing part of Friday's 18% gain.

American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc (AXL) fell 3.7% to $6.00 after climbing approximately 7% in the previous session.

Hafnia Ltd (HAFN) declined 3.4% to $6.20 in pre-market trading.

Getty Images Holdings Inc (GETY) slipped 3.3% to $1.46, also pulling back after a 7% advance on Friday.
