Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) stock has delivered a substantial 376% total return over the last five years, fueled largely by its success in the GLP-1 drug market, including tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound). While the company's revenue saw a significant 48% year-over-year increase, driven by these therapies, repeating such dramatic growth is considered unlikely.
Despite this, projections indicate that Eli Lilly's stock could potentially double in value over the next five years, implying a target price exceeding $5,500 per share. This outlook is supported by the company's continued leadership in the GLP-1 space and its robust gross margin of 83.40%. Key data points include a market capitalization of $1.1 trillion and a dividend yield of 0.58%. The company's performance also relates to reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (CV).
