🚨 FDA Flags Misleading Commercial: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has deemed a television advertisement for Novo Nordisk’s (NYSE: NVO) Wegovy weight-loss pill “false or misleading.” The agency sent an untitled letter dated February 5 asserting that the ad improperly implies the pill offers unique advantages over other GLP-1 drugs and suggests emotional or lifestyle benefits not supported by evidence.

📉 Marketing Claims Under Scrutiny: The FDA said certain phrases like “live lighter” and “a way forward” could mislead consumers into believing the Wegovy pill delivers superior weight loss or psychological benefits compared with competitor treatments—claims not backed by data. The letter also noted discrepancies between on-screen text and audio in the ad, violating promotional rules under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

💊 Novo’s Response and Market Impact: Novo Nordisk acknowledged receiving the FDA letter and said it is addressing the agency’s concerns and will respond appropriately. Shares of Novo Nordisk pared earlier gains after the news, reflecting investor caution around regulatory pressures and the broader competitive landscape for GLP-1 weight-loss medications.

⛽Jet Fuel Shortage Forces Airline Changes: Cuba warned international airlines that jet fuel will not be available at its airports from Feb. 10 through March 11, meaning carriers will need to arrange refueling stops elsewhere or risk grounding flights. This impacts flights at major hubs including Havana and several provincial airports. Airlines such as Air Canada have already suspended flights due to the shortage.

⚡U.S. Pressure and Oil Supply Cut: The fuel shortfall stems from an energy crisis made worse by U.S. sanctions and pressure on Cuba’s oil suppliers, especially after Venezuela — Cuba’s largest fuel source — stopped shipments under U.S. influence, and Trump threatened tariffs on countries that sell oil to Havana. Havana blames the U.S. “blockade” for choking off vital petroleum supplies

✈️ Broader Impact & International Response: Anthropic — already backed by Amazon and Alphabet — is pushing deeper into enterprise with a model explicitly tuned for knowledge work just as it gears up for a potential IPO in the ~$300–350 billion valuation range. That’s bullish for AI infra names and cloud partners feeding Claude’s compute habit, but it reinforces the bear case that some traditional software and data vendors become “skins” on top of increasingly capable AI, not the main event.
