Ozempic and Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk quieted Wall Street's concerns with its fourth-quarter results and 2025 outlook.

In fact, Novo Nordisk recently reported positive results for one of its anti-obesity candidates that puts its current best-selling drug in this area, Wegovy, to shame. Let's look deeper into these results and what they could mean for investors.

The Danish maker of Ozempic and Wegovy reported a 25 percent increase in sales to $40.6 billion, but said it expected slower growth this year.

One of Novo Nordisk's next-generation obesity shots to follow up on the success of Wegovy helped patients lose 22% of their weight in 36 weeks, according to early-stage trial results on Friday, boosting the drugmaker's shares.

Novo Nordisk's amycretin trial results highlight significant weight loss in adults with obesity, with further clinical development planned.

Novo Nordisk shares jump close to 14% on promising trial results for amycretin, a once-weekly obesity drug, signaling fierce competition in the weight-loss market.

Amycretin could give Novo a buzzy product in an newly competitive obesity market. It works similarly to existing GLP-1 products, by mimicking a hormone in the body that provides a satiated feeling and curbs hunger, but adds a different hormone in the pancreas.
