The $135 Billion Bond Market Luring Issuers Too Risky for Banks

Bloomberg28-05-2025
Oil and coal issuers struggling to get bank loans are increasingly turning to a little-known corner of the bond market hidden away in one of the planet's greenest economic zones.
When Australia-based Pembroke Resources experienced 'a gap in funding' earlier this year, the specialist in steelmaking coal turned to the €120 billion ($135 billion) Nordic corporate bond market where it successfully raised debt, Chief Executive Officer Barry Tudor said in an interview.

Novo Nordisk's Weight Loss Lesson

Talk about dropping weight fast. See Novo Nordisk's 33.8% stock plunge this past week after it reduced its sales forecast. The Ozempic manufacturer has shed hundreds of billions of dollars in market value over the last year amid stepped-up competition. One lesson is that pharmaceutical cash cows rarely last long. Novo Nordisk slashed its profit forecast owing to slower sales growth for its Ozempic diabetes and Wegovy weight-loss treatments in the U.S. Its blockbuster GLP-1 drugs have been losing market share to Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound. The latter has shown greater weight loss than Wegovy in some studies. Lilly is also building on its success with an experimental drug that can increase weight loss from fat and reduce loss of lean muscle mass. Its experimental once-a-day pill has shown comparable efficacy to Ozempic's weekly injectable. A pill would be less expensive to manufacture and more popular among patients. Both Lilly and Novo Nordisk previously struggled to scale up manufacturing to meet enormous demand for their weight-loss drugs. Under Food and Drug Administration rules, specialty pharmacies are allowed to produce knock-offs of drugs on its shortage list. Although the FDA has removed the drugs from its shortage list, some pharmacies continue to manufacturer them.
