The investor read
Lilly is proving it can trade price for reach. Volume growth has more than offset lower realized prices. The burden now shifts to durability: prescriptions must keep rising, manufacturing must arrive on time, and Foundayo must close a large oral-market gap with Novo. At $1,225.73, the stock already discounts much of the near-term earnings beat.
