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.
