This summary was created by AI, based on 29 opinions in the last 12 months.

Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) is recognized as a leading player in the healthcare industry, particularly in the GLP-1 drug market, which has driven significant stock performance, up approximately 370% over the past five years. Experts highlight the company’s robust drug pipeline, strong execution, and expansion plans, particularly with the anticipated oral version of its weight-loss drug. Despite these strengths, many analysts warn about current high valuations, suggesting that the stock may be priced to perfection, creating caution around new investments at present levels. While the company has a diversified portfolio beyond GLP-1 drugs, stock performance has recently hit all-time highs, prompting some to advise a strategic wait for pullbacks before making new purchases. Overall, analysts see a positive growth trajectory for Eli Lilly in terms of revenue and earnings, backed by a strong market position and effective management of its drug offerings.

BUY
A fave of his, up 19% YTD. Last month they delivered a terrific quarter and strong phase 2 data on their Alzheimer's drug, a possible game-changer. They also have a Covid antibody treatment that's already selling well. Most recentlty they delivered good phase 3 trial results on their cholesterol, weighr-loss drug for diabetes.
RISKY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks LLY stock is now flirting with 52-week highs and trading above its 50- and 200-day moving averages. It trades at 25.55x and pays a 1.64% dividend. Essentially, positive news on March 12 will launch the LLY stock—and alleviate the suffering of many people and their families—but negative headlines will sink it, which might make it an even bigger bargain stock.

BUY
Recent great results on phase 2 of Alzheimer's testing. There will be a lot of focus on the results around March 12. It it works, tremendous upside. Huge for families and for LLY. Diabetes franchise is performing extremely well. Oncology is building out.
COMMENT
Their stock has rallied so much after vaccine hopes that it's now cooling off. Their pipeline of drugs is super. Any further positive news about their Alzheimer's drug push this stock higher.
BUY
He owns a basket. He owns this one for their oncology division. He has not owned it for anything COVID-related. Sometimes it is better to buy a basket of these companies.
BUY
They just released very promising data on their breast cancer drug (the previous update in June saw the stock pop), but the stock still dropped in price today. This is strange and undeserved, but the selling won't last.
DON'T BUY
He sold it several months ago, because it outperformed like crazy in late-2018. That was expected, because healthcare is the most defensive sector and Q4 was a bear market with fears of a recession. LLY made an acquisition in oncology and one of their big drugs got withdrawn. Novo Nordisk may launch a diabetes drug in September to fcompete with LLY.
TOP PICK
It has one of the best growth profiles on the street with EPS growth at 10%. It trades at a premium to its peers, though. They have some potential blockbuster drugs focused on diabetes and heart disease. Itt depends on the effectiveness of that drug. Now is a good entry point. (Analysts’ price target is $125.81)
DON'T BUY
The whole drug industry is a slow growth one. It is difficult to get top line growth. That growth tends to come from a revolving set of assets. MRK-N has a bit of a leg up and is growing rapidly. It has a long runway before patent expiration. He prefers MRK-N.
WATCH
Likes it. One of better growth profiles for large cap pharma. Exceptional job building out the pipeline in oncology and diabetes. Cardiac drug seems like becoming the standard of care. Some hiccups, but the market gave them a pass. 14-15% EPS growth. 17x next year's earnings. Make sure the launches are on track next quarter.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 18/18, Up 17%) He owned a lot in this sector and sold on strength. He would have no problem buying it if he did not have a healthcare stock. It is one of the few areas that are truly in a secular bull market.
HOLD
He is not yet taking profits. They dominate the insulin business. As the world gets larger and overeats … The stock takes patience. It will probably sell off with the market.
WATCH
What does the increase in volume signal? Some technicians see volume as confirmation. You need volume spike to confirm a move. On the downside, volume doesn't tell you a lot, as things can start slowly. So don't read too much into it. If this stock comes back down to north of $105, a lot of investors would probably come back in. A good name, if you didn't want to buy XLD or HHL.T.
TOP PICK
Broke out over the summer. Healthcare is one of the few sectors that's in a secular bull market, and is even making new highs in the current bull market. LLY tends to beat guidance. They deliver. This trend should continue into 2019. (Analysts’ price target is $114.96)
TOP PICK

Just bought it. They have come with new pills for diabetes with huge potential. Yield of 2.0%. Drugs stocks are in favor. Likes the sector.
