Jim Cramer Recommends Eli Lilly over Novo Nordisk

Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer commented on. Answering a caller’s question about the stock during the lightning round, Cramer said:

Oh no, you don’t want to be in Novo Nordisk. You want to be in Eli Lilly. Novo Nordisk is really good at cutting prices. Eli Lilly’s great at making drugs.

Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO) manufactures pharmaceuticals for chronic conditions, including diabetes, obesity, and rare blood or endocrine disorders. The company also produces some medical devices. Cramer mentioned the company during the February 4 episode and remarked:

What went wrong at Novo Nordisk? Yesterday, the Danish drug maker behind Ozempic reported, and the stock plunged nearly 15% before sinking another 6% today. While the quarter was fine, the guidance, let’s just say it was brutal. They’re talking about a 5% to 13% sales hit this year, thanks to pricing pressures amid fierce competition for the GLP-1 business. It seems Eli Lilly’s eating their lunch, even if it is a lunch that has no taste, an inevitable result of all GLPs.
