Novo Nordisk faced another tough earnings season, with the stock falling 30% after it revised its growth guidance due to increased competition from Eli Lilly and the (now-illegal) compounders. This has brought the stock down to a tantalizing 12x earnings. Is this a great time to pick up shares, or are investors risking catching a falling knife? Novo is attempting to fend off the competition by launching its own direct-to-consumer Wegovy service in the United States, which will sell its drugs for $499 a month—less than half the previous cash price. Combined with a new management team, Novo has a lot of irons in the fire. Perhaps these efforts will bolster its long-term outlook.

Emerging in the midst of the 2023 market downturn, the AI race has spurred an extreme infrastructure spending boom from tech companies, especially the Magnificent Seven. They’ve pumped $151 billion into the economy so far. Is it a bubble, or the new normal in tech?
Mike and Emmet also touch on Elon Musk's $30 billion pay day. Is this infamous CEO still worth the premium?
