Eli Lilly crushed Q1 and raised guidance again.
EPS: $8.55 vs $6.66 expected
Revenue: $19.8B vs $17.62B expected (+56% YoY)
Stock up 5% premarket
Main driver was GLP-1 demand:
Mounjaro: $8.66B revenue (+125%), beat estimates
Zepbound: $4.16B US revenue (+80%), also beat
Lilly now expects 2026 revenue of $82Bβ$85B (was $80Bβ$83B) and adjusted EPS of $35.50β$37 (was $33.50β$35).
They currently hold about 60% of the US obesity/diabetes GLP-1 market, ahead of Novo at 39%.
Even with lower prices, demand keeps ripping. New obesity pill Foundayo just launched, so next earnings call will probably focus on whether it can become another monster product.
