据华尔街见闻此前文章提及，市场恐慌的核心在于一份远低于预期的收入指引——按固定汇率计算，公 司预计2026年营收将下滑5%至13%，这一数据暗示了美国肥胖症药物市场正面临比预期更严峻的定价 压力和销量瓶颈。 2月6日，据追风交易台消息，面对市场的剧烈反应，高盛分析师James Quigley在最新研报中指出，市场 目前的定价似乎已经完全计入了指引范围的下限，即悲观情绪已过度释放。 在发布了令人失望的2026财年指引后，诺和诺德股价一度暴跌18%，逼近五年来的低点。高盛认为，市 场反应过度，目前的股价实际上已经完全计入了公司2026财年指引的下限（即最悲观情景）。 尽管高盛将诺和诺德的目标价从436丹麦克朗下调8%至400丹麦克朗，但仍维持"买入"评级。分析师认 为，投资者低估了美国联邦医疗保险（Medicare）放开带来的销量增长潜力，以及口服版Wegovy发布 后的收入潜力。 不过，高盛也承认，此次财报电话会透露出的基调异常谨慎，尤其是关于美国市场定价阻力的描述—— 预计2026年将面临中双位数的定价逆风。这迫使高盛大幅调整了模型，不仅下调了2026年的营收和营业 利润预期，更关键的是大幅削减了对美国市场注 ...
