What's Going On With Kidney Dialysis Provider Stocks Today?
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
Shares of DaVita Inc (DVA), Fresenius Medical Care AG (FMS), and Baxter International Inc (BAX) fell sharply due to Novo Nordisk A/S's (NVO) early termination of its semaglutide kidney outcomes trial FLOW due to early signs of efficacy. The GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide could potentially reduce the size of the dialysis patient population over time, negatively impacting the dialysis market. The announcement also strengthens the case for using GLP-1 drugs, including Eli Lilly And Co's (LLY) Mounjaro, in diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease.
