Eli Lilly stock slips in late morning trade as investors size up earnings and the obesity-pill race
Eli Lilly shares slipped 0.1% to $1,062.87 in late morning trading Monday, extending last week’s decline. Investors are focused on the Feb. 4 earnings release and updates on obesity drug launches amid rising competition from Novo Nordisk. Early U.S. sales of Novo’s oral Wegovy and anticipation for Lilly’s orforglipron pill are drawing analyst attention. Legal and pricing pressures add uncertainty as both firms battle for market share.
