Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) is regarded as a leading contender in the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) drug market, primarily for weight loss and related conditions. Experts highlight its significant pipeline of drugs, including recent acquisitions like Centessa, which broaden its therapeutic reach. While LLY has faced some downward pressure due to competition, particularly from Novo Nordisk (NVO), many affirm that LLY’s diversification and superior execution position it well for future growth. Some analysts express caution over current valuation metrics, indicating it may be overpriced relative to peers, but long-term growth prospects remain robust, particularly with the anticipated oral version of its weight loss drugs. Overall, LLY is viewed as a robust growth stock with substantial potential in the healthcare sector.
Both are just too expensive. NVO is riding the wave of Ozempic, and already seeing a slew of competitive drugs to be released in next few years. LLY has been an incredibly well-run business. He could never buy something with a chart that looks like these, he just has to say he missed it and look for something that will generate returns for clients.
Tough thing with pharma is these drugs are massive successes, you get maybe 12 years of patent protection. Then your biggest success becomes your biggest concern as the patent wears off, and you struggle to find something else. It always happens.
Has done very well on weight loss, plus favourable news on Alzheimer's drug. Hard to buy, especially as a value investor, as it keeps going higher. Trades over 60x PE. Lots of momentum. Expectations very high. History has shown that it's really hard for companies to sustain really strong growth rates for consecutive years and to continuously ramp up margins. Competition always comes in.
She's not a technical fund manager, but if there's a big pullback, you could use technicals to look for an entry point. Have to consider your investment horizon.
Obesity space has performed well lately. Has owned stock for around two years. Valuation has continued to improve. Products are very profitable. Demand for new drugs continue to rise. Would recommend keeping at small weight in portfolio - share price very high. Very competitive industry within drug sector.
It's too early to tell what the long-term results of the weight-loss drugs, but short term people are buying them. You need to know a lot of tech and chemistry to understand pharma stocks and he doesn't care to do that. If you believe their drug prices will fall and more people will use them, then these share will rise.
In an uptrend, higher highs and higher lows. Ideal time to buy or add is when there's a bit of a pullback and stock hits the trendline. Hard to predict 3-5 years for anything these days, but if the trend is up, stay with it.
