The latest update is out from Novo Nordisk ( (NVO) ).

Novo Nordisk has received clearance to proceed with its acquisition of three manufacturing sites from Catalent, following Novo Holdings’ acquisition of Catalent, a global contract development and manufacturing organization. The acquisition, expected to be finalized shortly, is anticipated to have a low single-digit negative impact on Novo Nordisk’s operating profit growth and free cash flow due to the $11.7 billion acquisition price. The acquisition will be mainly debt-financed, and Novo Nordisk does not plan to initiate a share buyback program in 2025.
