Omeros stock soared over 150% on Oct. 15 after securing a $2.1 billion licensing deal with Novo Nordisk. The agreement includes $340 million upfront, near-term milestone payments, and royalties. The centerpiece is zaltenibart, a drug for treating a rare blood disorder, with a global Phase 3 program set to begin by 2025.

The market’s positive reaction to the agreement signals confidence in the potential of the partnership. Omeros gains immediate liquidity, long-term upside, and access to Novo Nordisk’s expertise.
