An initial investment of $5,000 in Eli Lilly (LLY) five years ago would have grown to approximately $23,143, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.86%. This performance far exceeds the S&P 500's CAGR of 12.82% over the same period, which would have turned $5,000 into $9,139. The strong returns are attributed to factors such as the successful development and approval of key drugs like tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for weight management.
Analysts anticipate Eli Lilly's earnings per share (EPS) to grow at an average of 20% over the next five years. The company has also demonstrated strong gross margins of 83.40% and a dividend yield of 0.60%.
