Ozempic, Wegovy drive Novo Nordisk profits up

Shares of Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk fell on Thursday, as investors digested the latest hard numbers from the maker of heavily-hyped drugs Ozempic and Wegovy.

For the record, sales of both continue to explode, though sales of Wegovy, which more than doubled to kr. 9.8B, came in about 10% below analyst expectations. Ozempic sales, which slowed, actually were better than expectations.

In Danish currency terms, Q1 profit jumped 28% for the company, which is based in suburban Copenhagen. Novo Nordisk’s market value of roughly $570 billion is now larger than the entire Danish economy.

Intuit plummets after reporting slowing revenue growth

Is it a worse day to be an Intuit employee or an Intuit shareholder?

On Wednesday, the financial and business tech company announced third-quarter earnings and sweeping layoffs on the same day. The TurboTax parent company said it would cut 17% of its workers — approximately 3,000 people — to focus on its AI efforts, according to a memo obtained by Reuters.

The stock was down 3.8% during market hours. It dropped further when Intuit released third-quarter results after the bell showing the slowest year-over-year revenue growth since 2024, falling 10% after-hours.

Here are the numbers:

Q3 revenue of $8.56 billion (compared to analyst estimates of $8.54 billion).
Adjusted earnings per share of $12.80 (estimate: $12.54).
Raised full-year guidance for revenue of $21.34 billion to $21.37 billion (estimate: $21.24 billion).

“We delivered strong third-quarter results, driven by our AI-driven expert platform strategy,” said Sasan Goodarzi, chairman and CEO of Intuit. “As a result, we are raising our full-year revenue guidance for fiscal 2026.”

Shares of Intuit are down nearly 40% this year.

T1 Energy spikes on record call volumes after Roth analyst calls short report a buying opportunity

Shares of T1 Energy are electric Wednesday afternoon, soaring more than 20% on record call volumes.

The stock had fallen over 13% at its lows on Tuesday after short-only fund Fuzzy Panda Research published a report calling the solar and battery storage company a “China Hustle” rather than a legitimate AI infrastructure investment, also alleging that the company has booked tax credits it won’t receive.

Retail traders have often used the dip that’s followed the announcement of a short report to load up on a company’s shares (see: POET Technologies in April).

Roth Capital Partners analyst Philip Shen responded to the report by calling T1 “a model for what the Trump administration may want in a domestic manufacturer that is transferring advanced technology and capacity to the US,” suggesting that the sell-off was a buying opportunity.

Earlier this week, T1 got an even more prominent vote of confidence when a 13F filing from Situational Awareness showed the hedge fund run by wunderkind Leopold Aschenbrenner held a 3.6% stake in the company at the end of Q1.

Airlines and cruise stocks surge as oil prices plunge

Travel stocks are surging on Wednesday, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures down 5% as of 12 p.m. ET, largely on commodity traders’ hopes of a resolution to the US war with Iran.

The decline comes despite the US Energy Information Administration reporting a record plunge in US crude inventories last week. As the country expands its oil exports to reduce the impact of the war in Iran, inventories have fallen by 7.9 million barrels, according to the EIA, indicating a significant drop in domestic supply wiggle room ahead of the summer driving season. Per Reuters, analysts had expected a drop of 2.9 million.

Bloomberg noted that US oil exports have been crucial in keeping global petroleum prices in check, as supply remains historically constrained due to the effective closure of the Straight of Hormuz. Typically, such a sharper-than-expected drop in inventories would cause oil futures to rise.

Today, however, that is not the case and oil’s pain is travel stocks’ gain, with US airlines and cruise lines surging higher on Wednesday. Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue were all up by at least 6%, while Carnival and Norwegian were up about 7%.

Royal Caribbean pared earlier losses from Mexico’s rejection of a large planned water park, but was still down about 1%.
