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.
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.
Big difference between a company and a stock. It's like buying a jacket for different price points of $1000, $300, or on sale for $150. You make an investment/purchase decision.
LLY and NVO are great companies, but you have to look at how expensive they are. Quite expensive at around 50x earnings. Good growth rates. A reasonable multiple for a drug company is sub-20x, and these won't get there via discounted cashflow until next decade. That's a long way out.
He looks for things that have yet to be priced properly. He owns MRK.
Chart's in an uptrend. Nothing nasty going on. Flattening, pulling back a bit. Good chart. Keep owning, and you could actually add to your position. Healthcare's not doing too badly as a sector.
