Novo Nordisk on Wednesday posted second-quarter sales broadly in line with expectations, after last week cutting its full-year guidance and announcing its new CEO.

Overall revenues rose 13% year-on-year at constant exchange rates to 76.86 billion Danish kroner ($11.92 billion) over the period, just ahead of the 76.6 billion Danish kroner forecast.

Quarterly net profit came in at 26.5 billion Danish kroner, versus 26.6 billion Danish kroner analysts expected.
