Lillyโ€™s Foundayo Quickly Gains Ground in the Oral Weight-Loss Market

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) says its newly launched oral obesity drug Foundayo has captured more than 30% of new U.S. patients starting oral weight-loss medicines, a notable early gain against Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill. Reuters reports that Wegovy initially held roughly 90% of the oral market, making Lilly's rapid share capture an important sign that the oral GLP-1 market is becoming a two-player competition rather than a Novo-dominated segment. The broader U.S. obesity-drug market is expected to exceed $100 billion annually by 2030, with oral treatments potentially accounting for more t

Berenberg bullish on Eli Lilly, sees nearly 25% upside

Investing.com -- Berenberg analyst Kerry Holford upgraded Eli Lilly to buy, raising its price target to $1,400 in a note Tuesday, representing almost 25% upside, as it backs the drugmaker to extend its lead in the fast-growing obesity market. Holford told investors that the firm's latest return-on-R&D-investment analysis confirms Lilly's track record of delivering best-in-class returns, and that she sees upside to its 2026 guidance. While investor expectations for Lilly to stay ahead in obesity are high, Holford said she is confident and that the pipeline being funded by that success is undera

Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have paid more than 270,000 doctors โ€” one as much as $1M โ€” to promote GLP-1 weight-loss drugs

Ilana Panich-Linsman/For The Washington Post via Getty Images It's hard to miss celebrity endorsements for weight-loss drugs from people like Serena Williams, who promoted GLP-1s this summer when she returned to the pro tennis circuit. She's signed a deal with Ro, a telehealth platform that sells GLP-1s directly to consumers. Not everyone is happy about Williams' turn as a weight-loss drug promoter.

Eli Lilly Stock Has Become a Trillion-Dollar Giant. Is It Too Late to Buy?

Quick Read Eli Lilly (LLY) earns a BUY rating with a $1,220 price target, backed by 47% revenue growth and four straight EPS beats. Novo Nordisk (NVO) trades at a forward P/E of 14 with just 2% revenue growth, making Lilly's premium valuation at 24x look justified. Retatrutide's BLA submission planned for Q1 2027 is the bull catalyst that could drive shares to $1,382, while pricing declines are the primary risk. Just released.

Analysts Have a $92 Target on Viking Therapeutics. Here's What Has to Go Right to Get There.

Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX) has been one of the hopefuls in a big race. The biotech company aims to launch one of the world's next big weight loss drugs.

Jim Cramer Picks J&J (JNJ) Over Eli Lilly (LLY) and Pfizer (PFE) Among These Healthcare Stocks

On September 3, a caller asked whether to rotate out of artificial intelligence stocks and add to Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) rather than chase Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) or Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH). Mad Money host Jim Cramer said: Well, I'll tell youโ€ฆ I think it's always good to look at Lilly as a stock that I think has a lot of things that are going well, but I want to wait. Well, actually, you know, tell you the truthโ€ฆ It's pulled back. I think you're fine, I think you're fine to add some. I'm going to okay that. And I understand JNJ's moved a great deal.

Lilly Builds Neuroscience into a New Long-Term Growth Driver

Eli Lilly and Company LLY boasts a wide range of products across cardiometabolic health, neuroscience, oncology and immunology. Cardiometabolic Health is Lilly's largest therapeutic area by a wide margin, particularly with the success of its tirzepatide medicines, Mounjaro and Zepbound. Its cardiometabolic products accounted for approximately 80% of Lilly's total revenues in the first half of 2026. However, Lilly is gradually building a more diversified portfolio by expanding in oncology, immunology and neuroscience. Lilly has also embarked on an aggressive M&A spree in the past couple of year

Could Mounjaroโ€™s New Heart Benefit Unlock the Next Growth Phase for Lilly?

Eli Lilly and Company's (NYSE:LLY) Mounjaro has already become a major growth driver in diabetes treatment, and its latest FDA approval could strengthen that position by expanding what physicians can use the drug to accomplish. The FDA approved Mounjaro to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes who face a high risk of cardiovascular events. The decision broadens the drug's role beyond controlling diabetes and gives Lilly (NYSE:LLY) another way to demonstrate its value in a patient population frequently affected by cardiovascular complications.Eli Lilly and Com

Eli Lilly vs. Novo Nordisk: One Has 39% Upside. I'm Picking the Other.

A concept image of a woman placing a psychedelic pill in her open mouth by BLACKDAY via Shutterstock_com Obesity is becoming one of healthcare's biggest long-term challenges, and treating it is creating one of the pharmaceutical industry's biggest opportunities. For many patients, managing weight goes beyond diet and exercise. Obesity is a chronic disease, and as treatment options improve, medicines are becoming an increasingly important part of how it is managed. That puts Eli Lilly (LLY) and Novo Nordisk (NVO) in an interesting position. Both have built major businesses around diabetes and o

Will Eli Lilly Split Its Stock? Here's What History Says Will Happen If It Does.

Currently trading at around $1,160 per share, Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) has one of the highest stock prices in the S&P 500. While fractional stock trading means a high absolute share price doesn't hinder performance as much as it used to, there are other reasons a high price might. It may make sense for Eli Lilly to split its stock soon, something it hasn't done in nearly 30 years. The company has yet to officially announce any sort of stock split plans. However, don't assume that, if it happens, a split will serve as a game changer for what is the most widely followed of the GLP-1 stocks. Missed

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
