Eli Lilly stock price in focus as FDA slips obesity pill deadline — what to watch in LLY next week

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 10:03 ET — Market closed. Eli Lilly shares ended Friday up 0.5%, closing at $1,038.40. Investors enter the week anticipating a delayed U.S. regulatory verdict on the drugmaker’s experimental obesity medication. The key issue now is timing.

Tesla stock price stalls: NHTSA FSD probe deadline slips, earnings loom for TSLA
