诺和诺德如何痛失GLP-1减肥药市场领先地位
Jaimy Lee / Steve Goldstein 2024年8月，诺和诺德(Novo Nordisk)用大巴将员工送到哥本哈根郊外庞大的罗斯基勒(Roskilde)展览场，参加一年一度的夏季派对。据当地媒体报道，这家丹麦公司举办这项狂欢活动已有多年，但在2024年，活动规模大约增加了一倍，估计有20,000人参加，这反映出该公司新聘了数千名员工。歌手们在四个舞台上轮番表演，庆祝活动一直持续到午夜之后。 在诺和诺德，这场派对似乎永远不会落幕。几周前的2024年6月，该公司的股票飙升至历史新高，据FactSet的数据，该制药商的估值达到6,580亿美元。这家来自人口约600万的丹麦的企业，再次登顶成为欧洲市值最大的公司。 Copyright ©2026 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
