JPMorgan analyst Chris Schott believes longer-term growth concerns surrounding Trulicity and Eli Lilly's (LLY) broader diabetes franchise are overdone following Novo Nordisk's (NVO) oral semaglutide results as well as the launch of Ozempic. The analyst sees a buying opportunity in shares of Eli Lilly following the recent pullback. Lilly is a "highly diversified growth story" and competition to Trulicity is manageable, Schott tells investors in a research note. He keeps an Overweight rating on the shares with a $105 price target.

Senator Bernie Sanders is set to lead a Senate investigation into the high prices charged by Novo Nordisk for its diabetes and anti-obesity medications Ozempic and Wegovy, The Financial Times' Oliver Barnes reports. Sanders wrote to Novo Nordisk CEO Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen to inform him the U.S. committee that oversees healthcare is probing "the outrageously high prices" the company charges for the drugs, saying that the drugs "will not do any good for the millions of patients who cannot afford them."
