TREE NEWS reports: Novo Nordisk CEO Mike Doustdar said the company is open to upgrading its New York listing to a direct listing as it seeks to raise its profile in the US, though no active discussions are underway. Doustdar sees advantages in replacing Novo Nordisk’s ADR with a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange, following a similar move by AstraZeneca earlier this year.
Novo Nordisk Open to Direct NYSE Listing, CEO Says
The signal here is optionality, not action: Novo Nordisk is flagging a structural change to its US market access without committing to one. AstraZeneca's move gives the idea a template, but the absence of active discussions keeps this firmly in the exploratory category. What matters is whether a direct listing would meaningfully shift Novo's US investor base or visibility, given it already trades in New York via ADR. Whether the company moves from openness to formal steps is the open question.
