The pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly (LLY) has been in the news recently for multiple reasons, driving its stock's performance. A surge in Eli Lilly stock has been largely attributed to strong sales of Zepbound and Mounjaro, and earnings that continue to exceed expectations. In addition to exceeding quarterly profit expectations, the company has also raised full year guidance on the back of these robust sales. Further strengthening investor confidence, Eli Lilly repurchased significant amounts of its stock in 2023.
Analysts have revised their price targets for Eli Lilly stock in response to these positive developments. Another major point of interest is the upcoming US FDA panel discussion about Eli Lilly's Alzheimer's drug slated for June 10. This potentially transformative treatment has garnered great interest from investors.
However, some investors also caution against over-enthusiasm, citing the company's inflated stock value. It's suggested that while the strong momentum for GLP-1 drugs may make purchasing the dip in LLY stock seem appealing, buying now might not provide a margin of safety.
