United States Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote a letter to the Federal Trade Commission&#8217;s chair, Lina Khan, urging to investigate Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) proposed $16.5 billion acquisition of contract development and manufacturing organization Catalent Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTLT#NYSE">CTLT</a>) thoroughly, amid growing concerns about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/36931734/ozempic-maker-strikes-11b-deal-with-catalent-as-it-rushes-to-meet-massive-weight-loss-drug-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">potential antitrust violations</a>.
Critics argue that this merger could increase Novo Nordisk&#8217;s control over producing vital GLP-1 receptor agonists, drugs used to treat diabetes and obesity. This could potentially drive up prices and limit competition.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41184148/novo-nordiskastrazenecas-manufacturing-partner-thermo-fisher-questioned-over-manufacturing-lapses" rel="noreferrer noopener">Novo Nordisk/AstraZeneca&#8217;s Manufacturing Partner Thermo Fisher Questioned Over Manufacturing Lapses</a>.
Novo Nordisk already has a dominant 55% share of the booming GLP-1 market due to the success of its blockbuster drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy.
Catalent plays a key role in filling and packaging Novo Nordisk&#8217;s GLP-1 products, but it also works with Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Novo Nordisk&#8217;s main competitor in the GLP-1 market, primarily through its tirzepatide-based drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound.
The concern is that if Novo Nordisk acquires Catalent, it could gain unprecedented access to Eli Lilly&#8217;s production capacity, potentially allowing it to prioritize its drugs over its competitors.
The letter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/catalent1.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlights</a> that Novo Nordisk has faced scrutiny from the FTC. Earlier this year, the FTC warned Novo Nordisk for improperly listing patents related to its diabetes drugs in the FDA&#8217;s Orange Book.
This behavior, combined with the company&#8217;s current plans to acquire Catalent, raises concerns about Novo Nordisk&#8217;s ability to further hinder competition.
Over recent decades, the consolidation of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry has led to fewer dominant firms and higher drug prices. From 1995 to 2015, major pharmaceutical companies dropped from 60 to just 10, as large corporations increasingly controlled healthcare services, from insurance to pharmacies.
Novo Nordisk&#8217;s proposed acquisition of Catalent is considered part of this broader trend of vertical integration.
While Novo Nordisk claims it prioritizes patient access to diabetes medications, critics argue its actions suggest otherwise. The company recently discontinued Levemir, a long-acting insulin, the only option approved for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39801282/senate-to-review-novo-nordisks-levemir-insulin-discontinuation" rel="noreferrer noopener">use during pregnancy</a>.
Although Novo Nordisk cited unfavorable formulary placement as the reason, the decision is seen as a way to reallocate production resources to its more profitable GLP-1 drugs.
Price Action: At last check Thursday, NVO stock was up 0.46% at $117.54, and CTLT stock was down 0.53% at $60.64.

Celsius Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday, bouncing back from steep losses in recent quarters. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41261919/what-happened-with-celsius-holdings-stock-today">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What To Know: Celsius shares are moving swiftly higher Thursday on increased attention from retail traders. The stock was trending across several social sites at last check. It was the top trending name on Stocktwits and was among the most mentioned stocks on Reddit&#8217;s r/WallStreetBets over the past 24 hours. 
Traders appear to be pointing to a confluence of bullish indicators including support levels dating back to 2022 and an oversold relative strength index (RSI). Traders are also highlighting notable short interest as potential fuel for a sharp bounce. 11.79% of Celsius&#8217; float is currently sold short, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
A spike in options volume suggests traders are betting on a continued bounce. Thursday&#8217;s options volume was around 252,919 at the time of writing versus Celsius&#8217; 30-day average options volume of 57,335, per Barchart <a href="https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/CELH/overview">data</a>.

Celsius shares hit new 52-week lows this week. The stock has been under pressure as the company has battled market share declines on the back of softer demand. Celsius was experiencing sales growth of more than 50% at the start of the year, but growth has reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41216891/celsius-holdings-stock-hit-52-week-lows-on-monday-whats-going-on">fallen to around 10%</a> in the current quarter.
The selloff in Celsius shares accelerated last month after the company said distribution partner PepsiCo was scaling back orders by about $100 million to right-size its inventory.
Following Celsius&#8217; second-quarter earnings in August, several analysts lowered price targets on the stock. Last week, BofA Securities analyst Jonathan Keypour <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40264027/celsius-holdings-downgraded-analyst-cautions-weak-consumer-environment-no-meaningfu">downgraded Celsius</a> citing a sharp sequential decline in sales. The analyst lowered earnings estimates moving forward and noted that he doesn&#8217;t expect a meaningful recovery until mid-2025.
Celsius is due to report quarterly results at the beginning of November. Analysts currently expect the company to report earnings of 5 cents per share and revenue of $273.751 million, according to<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro</a>.
CELH Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/celh">Celsius shares</a> were up 12.8% at $34.40 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday fined Toronto-Dominion Bank $123.5 million for violations related to anti-money laundering laws. The Board is also requiring TD to implement enhanced measures to comply with anti-money laundering laws and to correct its risk management deficiencies.
TD failed to conduct adequate risk management and oversight of its retail banking operations in the United States, resulting in a U.S. subsidiary being used to launder hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit proceeds. The Board&#39;s action will help ensure that TD operates in compliance with all U.S. laws and regulations.
The Board is requiring TD to:
<ul>
<li>Establish a new office in the United States dedicated to remediating the deficiencies identified in the order;</li>
<li>Relocate to the United States the parts of its anti-money laundering compliance program that are responsible for complying with U.S. law. This program will be subject to oversight by U.S. regulators;</li>
<li>Certify that sufficient resources and attention are allocated to correcting the firm&#39;s anti-money laundering deficiencies prior to issuing any dividends or capital distributions; and</li>
<li>Undertake a thorough and independent review of the firm&#39;s board of directors and management to ensure adequate oversight of the U.S. operations.</li>
</ul>
Canada&#39;s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, the home country supervisor of TD, can act in the implementation of these requirements as permitted by its legal authority.
This action is being taken in conjunction with criminal and regulatory actions that are being taken by the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office for the District of New Jersey, the Department of the Treasury&#39;s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The penalties announced by the agencies total approximately $3.09 billion. The bank is also pleading guilty to criminal charges brought by law enforcement authorities.

TD Bank Pleads Guilty To Violations Of Bank Secrecy Act And Money Laundering, Will Pay $3B In Fines; US Regulators Impose Asset Cap And Restrict New Branches Or Services Until Compliance Issues Are Resolved; DOJ And OCC Cite Long-Term, Systemic Deficiencies In Anti-Money Laundering Efforts

It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

In-Depth Examination Of 10 Analyst Recommendations For NOV

Marriott International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) has agreed to pay a $52 million settlement following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybersecurity">series of data breaches </a>that exposed sensitive information of millions of customers.
The settlement, which involves the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and attorneys general from 49 states, addresses security lapses that occurred over several years, AP News <a href="https://apnews.com/article/marriott-data-breach-settlement-97534838b650bfc7a9e73a5336b2988e">reports</a>.
What Happened: The breaches, spanning from 2014 to 2020, compromised data such as passport details, credit card numbers and personal information. The FTC's investigation highlighted inadequate security practices at Marriott and Starwood Hotels, a company acquired by Marriott in 2016. According to AP News, these vulnerabilities, including insufficient network monitoring, allowed hackers to infiltrate the systems.
As part of the settlement, Marriott will enhance its data protection measures, introducing a comprehensive security program to prevent future incidents. The hotel chain will also allow U.S. customers to request the deletion of personal information linked to their loyalty accounts. Although agreeing to the settlement, Marriott did not admit wrongdoing and emphasized improvements already made in data security.

Why It Matters: This agreement underscores growing scrutiny of corporate cybersecurity measures as cyber threats increase. The Marriott breaches reflect broader challenges in data security, as a recent incident involved the Chinese-linked Salt Typhoon group, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41200026/chinese-hackers-breach-at-t-verizon-networks-in-major-wiretap-data-theft-putting-us-national-securit">which infiltrated networks </a>of major U.S. telecommunications firms like AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) and Verizon Communications (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>).
The bread by Salt Typhoon, a Chinese-backed hacking group, is a reminder of the persistent risks posed by cyber espionage, as the group reportedly accessed data for intelligence gathering. The incident, alongside the Marriott case, highlights the challenges companies face in protecting sensitive information from sophisticated attackers.
Enhanced security protocols, as seen in Marriott's new commitments, are becoming crucial for safeguarding consumer data and maintaining trust.
