Street View: Next-generation drugs bolster Lilly's growth outlook

By Reuters News

** Eli Lilly LLY.N raised annual revenue forecast by $5 billion and beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter profit on Thursday, helped by robust demand for its weight-loss treatments

** Median PT of 33 brokerages covering the stock is $1,410 - LSEG data

NEW PIPELINE CATALYSTS

** Jefferies ("buy", PT: $1,610) says LLY's GLP-1 and obesity franchise could continue to exceed expectations through 2026 and beyond, driven by pricing and volume growth, with international obesity opportunities and the Medicare Bridge Program providing additional upside

** Truist Securities ("buy", PT: $1,612) says company's expanding diabetes and obesity drug portfolio, including pipeline treatments such as retatrutide and EloraTZP (next-generation obesity drug), should help sustain its market leadership, while advances in neuroscience, immunology and oncology support growth

** J.P.Morgan ("overweight", PT: $1,650) says LLY remains its top pick, expecting earnings upside as it extends its lead in the incretin market and delivers key pipeline milestones across several non-obesity opportunities

** Morningstar (fair value: $980) says pipeline candidates EloraTZP and retatrutide are expected to be key growth drivers for LLY, as company continues to raise the bar on treatment efficacy and tolerability
