Strong Bullish Trend for Novo Nordisk

Dear Reader,

Yesterday, we looked at a Daily Price Chart for Boston Scientific Corp., noting that the stock has been making a new series of 52-Week Highs recently.

For today’s Trade of the Day we will be looking at a Daily Price chart for Novo Nordisk A S stock symbol: NVO.

Before breaking down NVO’s daily price chart let’s first review which products and services are offered by the company.

Novo Nordisk A/S, a healthcare company, engages in the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of pharmaceutical products worldwide. It operates in two segments, Diabetes and Obesity care, and Biopharm. The Diabetes and Obesity care segment provides products in the areas of insulins, GLP-1 and related delivery systems, oral antidiabetic products, obesity, and other chronic diseases. The Biopharmaceuticals segment offers products in the areas of haemophilia, growth disorders, and hormone replacement therapy.

Now, let’s begin to break down the Daily Price chart for NVO. Below is a Daily Price Chart with the price line displayed by an OHLC bar.

Buy NVO Stock

The Daily Price chart above shows that NVO stock began reaching a series of higher highs and higher lows since late November.

This pattern of bullish trading suggests the stock will march on to a further advance.

You see, after a stock makes a series of two or more higher highs and higher lows, the stock typically continues its price up trend and should be purchased.

Our initial price target for NVO stock is 158.00 per share.

102.3% Profit Potential for NVO Option

Now, since NVO stock is currently making a series of higher highs and higher lows this means the stock’s bullish rally will likely continue. Let’s use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a NVO call option purchase.

The Call Option Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a flat NVO price to a 12.5% increase.

The Optioneering Team uses the 1% Rule to select an option strike price with a higher percentage of winning trades. In the following NVO option example, we used the 1% Rule to select the NVO option strike price but out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don’t list the strike price used in the profit/loss calculation.

Trade with Higher Accuracy

When you use the 1% Rule to select a NVO in-the-money option strike price, NVO stock only has to increase 1% for the option to breakeven and start profiting! Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option and the underlying stock closes flat at option expiration it will result in a 100% loss for your option trade! In this example, if NVO stock is flat at 149.58 at option expiration, it will only result in a 0.1% loss for the NVO option compared to a 100% loss for an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option.

Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike price can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to at-the-money or out-of-the-money call options. This higher accuracy can give you the discipline needed to become a successful option trader and can help avoid 100% losses when trading options.

The goal of this example is to demonstrate the powerful profit potential available from trading options compared to stocks.

The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for NVO on 3/23/2023 before commissions.

When you purchase a call option, there is no limit on the profit potential of the call if the underlying stock continues to move up in price.

For this specific call option, the calculator analysis below reveals if NVO stock increases 5.0% at option expiration to 157.06 (circled), the call option would make 51.1% before commission.

If NVO stock increases 10.0% at option expiration to 164.54 (circled), the call option would make 102.3% before commission and outperform the stock return more than 10 to 1*.

The leverage provided by call options allows you to maximize potential returns on bullish stocks.
