Eli Lilly Stock (LLY) After Hours Drops on Wegovy Pill Approval: What to Know Before the Market Opens Dec. 23, 2025

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) ended Monday’s regular session higher — then slipped after the closing bell as investors digested a major late-day headline from its biggest obesity rival, Novo Nordisk. LLY closed at $1,076.48 (+0.47%) at 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, then traded down about 1% in after-hours action, around $1,065.50 as of 6:18 p.m. ET. StockAnalysis+1 That after-hours dip matters because the news that hit late Monday is exactly the kind of development that can reprice sentiment around the hottest corner of big pharma: GLP‑1 weight-loss drugs — and, increasingly, GLP‑1 pills.

AbbVie Stock News Today (Dec. 22, 2025): ABBV Holds Near $227 as Drug-Pricing Talks, Dividend Growth, and 2026 Catalysts Come Into Focus

AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) is trading near recent highs on Monday, December 22, 2025, as investors weigh a powerful mix of policy risk, shareholder returns, and pipeline momentum heading into 2026. The big near-term variable isn’t a clinical readout—it’s Washington. After the White House unveiled sweeping “most-favored-nation” (MFN) drug-pricing agreements with nine large manufacturers on December 19, AbbVie remains one of the last major drugmakers still outside the deal. The White House+1 At the same time, AbbVie’s core fundamentals continue to be anchored by its immunology franchise—Skyrizi and Rinvoq—alongside a rising dividend profile and a pipeline that includes late-stage programs

Amgen Stock (AMGN) News Today: Trump Drug‑Price Deals, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Watch Next — Dec. 22, 2025

Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN) is back in the spotlight on Monday, December 22, 2025, as investors weigh a wave of White House drug‑pricing agreements, a fast‑moving “most‑favored‑nation” (MFN) pricing push, and what it could all mean for Amgen’s earnings power in 2026. The stock traded higher in Monday’s session, with market data showing shares around $331. While the headlines are centered on drug prices, the market’s reaction has been notably measured: several analyst notes published today suggest these deals may be designed to reduce political and tariff uncertainty more than they materially compress pharma profits—at least in the near term.

Pfizer Stock Outlook for 2026: Oncology Momentum, Obesity Deals, and the Patent Cliff Investors Can’t Ignore

As of Monday, December 22, 2025, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is once again at the center of a familiar market debate: is this a battered pharma giant destined to stay “dead money,” or a dividend-rich turnaround story that could surprise investors as its pipeline matures? The short-term reality is tough to miss. Pfizer has guided to flat-to-down revenue in 2026, with continued COVID-franchise erosion and an accelerating loss-of-exclusivity cycle. But the longer-term case—outlined in a wave of investor and analyst commentary this month—rests on whether Pfizer can execute in the two areas that matter most to its post-patent-cliff future: oncology and

Eli Lilly (LLY) Stock: What to Know Before the U.S. Market Opens on Dec. 22, 2025

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) enters the final full holiday trading week of 2025 with momentum—and with headlines that can move the stock quickly in thin year‑end liquidity. The most important story remains Lilly’s dominance in obesity and diabetes medicines (Zepbound/Mounjaro), but investors are now pricing in what comes next: oral GLP‑1 candidates (orforglipron), next‑generation “triple agonist” retatrutide, and a shifting U.S. policy backdrop that’s pushing drugmakers toward direct-to-consumer pricing and discount channels. LLY last closed at $1,071.44 (Friday, Dec. 19) after a strong recent stretch that’s kept the stock near its highs. StockInvest Below is a pre‑market briefing—what

Pfizer Inc.
