The market valuation of Eli Lilly (LLY) has proven volatile recently as a result of various developments. Increased competition in the weight-loss drug market from the likes of Viking Therapeutics and Novo Nordisk has lead to unstable stock prices, with LLY losing an estimated $120B in value. The fluctuation of LLY's stock has prompted various analysts to speculate on its future trajectory, some citing a potential increase to $1300.
However, the company shows signs of robust growth, notably their Zepbound drug receiving approval in China, and heavyweight financial commentator Jim Cramer predicting a potential $1 trillion market cap due to a 'blockbuster' Alzheimer's drug. Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed its overweight rating on LLY and LLY increased its manufacturing investment to $9 billion in their newest Indiana site. Additionally, Eli Lilly confirmed a $3.2 billion acquisition of US biotech Morphic. The FDA also recently approved LLY's Kisunla™ for the treatment of early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease. The recent upswing in their stock is generally attributed to strong sales of products like Zepbound.
