Novo Nordisk, dynaCERT, Verbio – Do not panic!
While the Danes were the celebrated stock market stars last year, becoming the most valuable company in Europe, the euphoria has evaporated dramatically in recent months. Between June 2024 and April 2025, Novo shares fell by a whopping 62% to an interim low of USD 57. Since then, the price has rebounded, currently standing at USD 79.83. The 200 EMA is around USD 83, and the downward trend that has formed since the all-time high is also in this range. A sustained break could take the share price to the horizontal resistance level at USD 112.52.
Novo Nordisk has recently made two significant announcements. Firstly, after consultation with regulatory authorities, the Company announced that it would be moving its experimental weight loss drug Amycretin into late-stage development.
Second, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced earlier this week in Paris that Novo and the US tech giant will be working together. The partnership is related to the agreement between Novo Nordisk and the Danish Center for AI Innovation (DCAI) to use 'Gefion', Denmark's national AI supercomputer. The AI specialist announced this on Wednesday at the VivaTech conference in Paris.
The collaboration will focus on developing customized AI models and AI agents to support Novo Nordisk in both early drug discovery and clinical development. In addition, there are plans to use advanced simulations and physics-based AI technologies. dynaCERT – Expansion in sight
The hydrogen specialist's share price has been trading sideways in the CAD 0.15 range for months. However, a lot is going on behind the scenes that will likely lead to stronger movements soon. The Company, valued at CAD 71.32 million, has been listed on the OTCQB Venture Market in the US since June, which should lead to an early increase in liquidity for the stock.
From a fundamental perspective, the signs continue to point to expansion. With its patented HydraGEN™ product line, developed over many years, dynaCERT (TSX:DYA) has built up an effective tool for increasing the efficiency of combustion engines. Depending on the area of application, HydraGEN™ enables fuel savings of between 5% and 19%, which is a clear advantage for buyers in times of high energy prices and growing sustainability requirements. In addition, dynaCERT's HydraLytica™ analysis software enables the documentation of emissions savings, for example, of CO2 and nitrogen oxides, which can be used to generate tradable emission credits.
Following the successful 'bauma 2025' trade fair, pre-production of 1,000 units was started to meet the expected demand from transport companies, logistics providers, and construction equipment operators. With rising energy prices, experts expect oil prices to remain well above USD 100 despite the current correction, which should lead to stronger demand for HydraGEN™. With an investment of USD 6,000 per unit, the payback period is less than a year in some cases.
Biofuel producer Verbio bucked the trend in the past trading week. With a gain of around 13% to EUR 10.91, the SDAX stock ranks at the top of the leaderboards. If the horizontal resistance level at EUR 11.35 is broken, Verbio shares are likely to make another attempt at their previous high for the year of EUR 13.03.
After the quarterly figures were announced, the research firm Jefferies reiterated its rating of 'Hold' and a price target of EUR 10.50. The Zörbig-based company thus fell slightly short of expectations due to lower profitability in the biodiesel business.
Nevertheless, thanks to Donald Trump, Verbio offers considerable potential. The old and new president of the United States plans to increase the promotion of biofuels. The new regulations presented by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide for an increase in the blending quota for biofuels to 24.02 billion gallons. This represents an increase of just under 8% over the previous year and marks a new record. Conventional fuels such as gasoline and diesel will be affected, with larger quantities of biofuels such as ethanol or biodiesel to be added in the future. At the same time, the EPA plans to restrict the use of imported biofuel components.
Verbio already operates a production plant in the US state of Iowa, in the city of Nevada. Verbio also plans to expand its production capacities in the United States. The Company is also active in Canada, where it produces biodiesel.
Biofuel producer Verbio could benefit from increased subsidies in the US. Novo Nordisk announced two promising developments. dynaCERT increased pre-production of its devices due to high demand. Conflict of interest

U.S. boycotts ‘clearly' having impact, B.C. premier says following ambassador's remarks
B.C. Premier David Eby appears in Vancouver, on Monday, May 26, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck B.C. Premier David Eby is encouraging residents to continue spending their vacations within Canada following remarks from the U.S. ambassador Monday morning. Pete Hoekstra, an appointee of U.S. President Donald Trump, appeared at the Pacific Northwest Economic Region summit in Bellevue, Wash., where he was asked about the decrease in Canadians crossing the border. 'Canadians staying home, that's their business,' Hoekstra said, in audio of the event provided by Eby's office. 'If you want to ban American alcohol, that's fine. It doesn't necessarily send real positive signals in terms of their treating us well. There are reasons why the president and some of his team refer to Canada as being mean and nasty to deal with.' Data from U.S. customs shows the number of travelers crossing the border from Canada has declined sharply since last year, amid ongoing concern and frustration over Trump's comments about the country becoming the 51st state. Eby responded to Hoekstra's remarks in a statement Monday afternoon, saying: 'Clearly, our efforts are having an impact.' 'I say to my fellow Canadians: Keep it up. Keep buying Canadian. Keep your vacations Canadian,' the premier said. 'We won't take these attacks our jobs, our economy and our sovereignty, lying down. We'll stand strong together.'

Budget office says Trump's tax law will add $3.4 trillion to deficits, leave 10 million uninsured
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's tax and spending law will add $3.4 trillion to federal deficits through 2034, the Congressional Budget Office reported Monday, a slight increase in the projection that takes into account the final tweaks that Republicans made before getting the legislation over the finish line. More than 10 million people will be uninsured under the law in 2034 because of the law, CBO found, an improvement from an earlier projection that found 11.8 million people losing coverage over the decade. The release of the CBO analysis Monday comes at the end of a grueling legislative fight, but at the start of a longer political struggle to come as the two parties clash over the law's impact on the economy, healthcare and government programs. Republicans are touting the bill as a tax cut for all Americans, yet a recent AP-NORC poll found about two-thirds of U.S. adults expect the new tax law will help the rich as Democrats attack the legislation. The bill Trump signed into law on July 4 extended current tax rates for individuals that were set to expire at the end of this year and temporarily created new tax deductions for tips, overtime and auto interest loans for new vehicles assembled in the U.S. Republicans also used the bill to cut future spending on Medicaid and food assistance, and to phase out certain clean energy tax credits more quickly. Democrats were quick to highlight the CBO's findings. 'Today's report reminds us of something: facts are stubborn and the facts are clear,' said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. 'The big, ugly betrayal is a loser for the country and will be a loser for the Republicans.' Republicans say the bill was critical to ensure most Americans didn't experience a significant tax increase next year. Trump and Republicans have also insisted that economic growth will exceed the CBO's projections for the next decade, erasing the projected deficits as more revenue comes into the Treasury than anticipated. Nonpartisan fiscal watchdogs also highlighted the CBO's latest projection. Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said there will be a shorter-term 'sugar high' as stimulus makes its way through the economy. But modelers from across the ideological spectrum agree that any sustained economic changes are likely to be modestly beneficial, or negative. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. 'And not one serious estimate claims this bill will improve our fiscal situation,' MacGuineas said. 'Rather, positive growth effects are likely to be swamped by the effects of higher debt and interest rates.' The CBO said more than $1 trillion in deficit savings is generated through the health portions of the bill, which includes new work requirements for certain Medicaid beneficiaries in states that expanded the program through the Affordable Care Act. Some late changes on Medicaid were made to the bill to win over holdouts. One of those changes added a $50 billion fund for rural hospitals. __ Associated Press writer Mary Clare Jalonick contributed to this report.
