  • Eli Lilly Forecasts 2026 Profit Above Estimates on Strong Demand for Weight-Loss Drugs
    February 4, 2026, 7:53 AM EST. Eli Lilly projected 2026 profits surpassing Wall Street estimates, bolstered by surging demand for its obesity treatments. Shares jumped nearly 7% premarket after the company announced plans to launch an oral weight-loss pill this year.

For the latest quarter, Lilly reported earnings of $7.54 per share, beating the $6.67 analysts expected. Adjusted earnings per share guidance for 2024 stands at $33.50 to $35, above the consensus estimate of $33.23.
