The famed Danish drug maker Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) expressed disappointment on Wednesday following a recommendation by the Dutch Health Care Institute advising the Netherlands government against including the company&#8217;s popular weight-loss drug, Wegovy, in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37793319/inconsistent-insurance-coverage-for-weight-loss-drugs-novo-nordisks-glp-1s-face-hurdles-despite-h" rel="noreferrer noopener">basic insurance coverage</a>.
The institute&#8217;s recommendation, delivered on Tuesday, cited insufficient clarity on whether Wegovy&#8217;s health benefits justify its costs.

Although Wegovy has proven effective for weight loss, the institute stressed the need for further research to determine the drug&#8217;s comprehensive health effects.
With an estimated 4 million people in the Netherlands potentially benefiting from Wegovy, the institute projected that government expenses could escalate to approximately 1.3 billion euros ($1.42 billion).
Notably, Wegovy is not yet available for purchase in the Netherlands, as confirmed by Novo Nordisk.
Last year, Novo Nordisk submitted an application to Dutch authorities seeking insurance coverage for a limited patient group.
The institute also raised concerns about the global shortage of semaglutide, Wegovy&#8217;s primary ingredient, which is crucial for diabetes treatment.
&#8220;These shortages emphasize the importance of critically weighing which people have the largest benefit from a medicine,&#8221; it said.
&#8220;While we are pleased that the Dutch Health Care Institute recognizes the necessary role of medications in the fight against obesity as a chronic disease, we are obviously disappointed in their initial decision,&#8221; Reuters report added, citing a Novo Nordisk spokesperson&#8217;s email.
U.S. pharmacy claims data analysis reveals that only one in four patients prescribed&nbsp;Novo Nordisk&#8217;s weight-loss drugs,&nbsp;Wegovy and&nbsp;Ozempic, continue their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39713169/only-25-patients-stick-with-novo-nordisks-wegovy-or-ozempic-after-2-years-a-study-shows-company-c" rel="noreferrer noopener">treatment after two years</a>.
The data provided to Reuters highlights a significant decline in long-term adherence to these medications.
Price Action: NVO shares are down 4.29% at $134.82 at last check Wednesday.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth $18,000 Today

HubSpot's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) short percent of float has risen 36.3% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 974 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.99% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.21 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for HubSpot has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing HubSpot's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, HubSpot's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
