Why GoodRx (GDRX) Stock Is Up Today

What Happened?

Shares of healthcare tech company GoodRx (NASDAQ:GDRX) jumped 3.1% in the morning session after investor enthusiasm continued following its recent partnership with Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk. 

The positive momentum is a continuation of a significant rally that began on August 18, when the stock initially surged 37% upon the announcement of the deal. The partnership allows GoodRx to offer popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic to self-paying customers at a substantial discount. Investors appear to remain optimistic that this agreement will provide a major customer and marketing boost for the prescription medication discount company, driving sustained interest in the stock.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $4.45, up 2.6% from previous close.
