Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) is regarded as a leader in the diabetes and weight-loss drug market, particularly with its GLP-1 medications, which are poised for further growth as the company has ramped up production capabilities. Analysts expect strong earnings growth over the next few years, with favorable projections of up to 50% by 2026. While there is some volatility in the stock's performance due to competition and pricing differences, particularly from Novo Nordisk (NVO), Eli Lilly's diversified drug pipeline and financial strength provide a strong foundation. However, many experts suggest waiting for a pullback before entering, as the stock is experiencing high RSI levels and could be overbought. The anticipated introduction of an oral version of its weight-loss drug represents a potential game-changer that could expand market opportunities significantly, reinforcing the bullish outlook for LLY in the long run.

BUY

50% payout ratio. Drugs are coming off patent. You are buying for yield and low volatility. There are better names in the group but they are in the sweet spot in the market.

PARTIAL SELL

Had a very good run. Due for a consolidation period. If you are concerned, take half off the table.

BUY
All drug companies are facing the “patent cliff”. (Have a lot of drugs that are coming off patent.) This is pretty well known and all the stocks are cheap. 5% dividend yield. Dividend is safe and you have very good visibility into the cash flows.
DON'T BUY
This one is going nowhere fast. Declining earnings. Just had a big drug, Prexus, come off patent, which accounted for 11% of their sales. No new block busters on the horizon. Earnings consensus going from $4.30 to $3.60 next year.
BUY
Industry could be considered a value trap. A large number of large scale pharmas are trading at depressed values because of US health reforms and patents expiring. However this one is in one of the better positions to see itself through this cycle. Have about 70 drugs, mainly in oncology, neuroscience and diabetes that they are working on in their pipeline.
DON'T BUY
In the same camp as many of the other big pharmas. Having trouble filling the pot. Patent expirations are taking revenue out. Good cash business with a good dividend of about 5.5%. A value trap.
DON'T BUY
Similar to a lot of Pharma companies in that they have to find some growth. Will have patent expiries in 2011, which will create falling sales. Looks cheap and has a great dividend but it is a shrinking situation.
BUY
2 issues that face phama stocks: one is health care and what will happen; and two is that the pipeline of fantastic drugs has slowed down. Treat it as a high dividend paying company and not look for huge increases in stock price.
BUY
All the pharmaceutical stocks are cheap. He would recommend Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N) and Merck & Co. (MRK-N) ahead of this one. (See Top Picks.)
DON'T BUY
Pharma is a sector that usually outperforms in times of crisis and in bear markets. They have generally been a good hiding spot. The group will probably lag any uptick in the market. 5.5% dividend.
BUY
One of the major concerns that pharmacy companies have is patent expiration and generics coming in. Doesn't think they have any major products coming off patents until 2010.
BUY
Hasn't gone anywhere because it hasn't any blockbuster drugs. Has a good pipeline. Demographically, diabetes is set to explode.
HOLD
Eli Lilly is a good company. It looks fine. It has come down with the other large cap drug stocks in the States. Need to be patient. It offers decent value here.
DON'T BUY
This is a part of the market that's lagging. There has been such a slowdown in the growth rates.
DON'T BUY
Prefers others such as Abbott Labs (ABT-N).
