Eli Lilly's incretin-based drug portfolio is projected to represent a significant $100 billion opportunity by 2030, implying approximately 20% annualized growth through the end of the decade. This outlook comes despite a minor adjustment in its 2027 revenue estimate by 0.7% to $105.67 billion and an adjusted earnings-per-share forecast by 1.1% to $50.99. An analyst firm maintained an Overweight rating with a December 2026 price target of $1,400, compared to the September 1 share price of $1,160.
Projections indicate Lilly's revenue could climb 35% in 2026 and 20.1% in 2027. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to rise by 50.7% and 39.7%, respectively, in those years. Furthermore, EBITDA margins are anticipated to expand from 48.9% in 2026 to 54.7% in 2027, driven by company-wide scaling benefits.
