NVO stock price: Technical overview
NVO is trading around $47.61 as of 3.39pm UTC on 3 December 2025, sitting just below the short-term 10-day simple moving average (SMA) near 47.8 and below the 20- and 50-day SMAs around 47.9 and 52.3. The longer-term picture remains under pressure, with the 100- and 200-day SMAs higher at roughly 54.5 and 63.3. This keeps the broader moving-average structure tilted to the downside while intraday action stays within the 47.26–48.47 range on Capital.com’s feed.
In terms of momentum, the 14-day RSI around 44.8 sits in mid-neutral territory. The ADX near 19.8 points to a relatively weak directional trend. The nearest classic pivot resistance above the last traded price is R1 at around 52.2; a daily close above this level would bring the R2 region near 55.0 into view. Initial support sits at the classic pivot P around 47.6, while the S1 area near 44.8 may come into focus if the pivot level fails. The 100-day SMA around 54.5 remains a notable longer-term technical reference point (TradingView, 3 December 2025).

Capital.com analyst view
The NVO stock price has undergone a notable reset over the past year, falling from triple-digit levels in late 2024 to below $50 by early December 2025. Market participants have been reassessing earnings momentum, guidance and clinical updates, which has contributed to this repricing. Recent sessions show more contained intraday moves within the mid- to high-$40s, contrasting with periods of wider swings earlier in 2025.
Several themes appear central to how traders assess price action, including demand trends for obesity and diabetes treatments, regulatory and pricing developments, and confidence in late-stage pipeline progress. Favourable updates can support revenue expectations and margins, but may also prompt questions about valuation if positive developments are already reflected in the share price. Conversely, setbacks in trials, guidance or policy can weigh on the stock, though some traders may view sharp declines as potential overreactions depending on their risk tolerance and time horizon.
