Eli Lilly reported strong sales growth for its drugs Mounjaro, Jaypirca, and Omvoh, with Jaypirca sales up 56.4% year-on-year to $192 million in Q2 despite competition. The company’s Retatrutide showed promising results in obesity trials, potentially setting a new market standard if FDA approved. Consequently, Eli Lilly raised its 2026 revenue guidance from $82-$85 billion to $85-$87 billion. These positive developments led ALLKA Research to upgrade Eli Lilly’s stock rating from Hold to Buy, reflecting confidence in its growth prospects.
