Entry points:
750–755 $ (aggressive, with retracement risk)
Above 780 $ (confirmed breakout, targets 800–858 $)
Around 720 $ (defensive entry on rebound)
Targets: 800 → 858 → 900 $
Stop-loss: below 680 $.
With positive GLP-1 news (Zepbound, Mounjaro, new projects), an upside breakout looks the most likely scenario.
LLY trade ideas
ELI LILLY COMPANY - STOCK REPORTExecutive Summary
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) has delivered strong revenue and profit growth driven by blockbuster GLP‑1 therapies (Mounjaro, Zepbound) and continued pipeline progress in oncology and cardiometabolic indications. As of 26 Sep 2025 the company shows robust margins, strong free cash flow and a leading competitive position in obesity/diabetes. Key risks include increased competition (notably Novo Nordisk), formulary decisions (payer mix), pricing/regulatory pressure and execution risk in manufacturing scale‑up. Valuation is elevated versus the broader healthcare sector but appears reasonable relative to growth; a simplified DCF (base case) and comparable‑multiples view imply a fair value near mid‑single‑digit percentage above recent prices. Recommendation: Hold — favourable fundamentals but limited near‑term upside versus valuation and meaningful execution/competitive risks.

Tabular snapshot
Table: (Year | Revenue | Net income | Diluted EPS | FCF)
2022 | 28.3B | 5.2B | 5.41 | ~8.0B
2023 | 40.5B | 11.0B | 12.99 | ~11.5B

Last 4Q (sum) 2024Q3–2025Q2 | ~50.1B | ~14.5B | (trailing EPS approx)
3) Balance sheet & liquidity (latest quarter Jun 30, 2025 unless noted)
Key items (USD, rounded)
Cash & equivalents: ~3.1–3.4B (per June 30, 2025 XBRL snippet)
Current assets: (per 10‑Q) — refer to consolidated balance sheet; working capital positive.
Total debt: ~38–40B (notes due 2026/2030; total debt around $39.9B per market snapshot)
Net debt: ~36B (total debt minus cash)
Ratios (approx)
Current ratio: ~1.15
Quick ratio: ~0.89
Debt/Equity: vendor snapshots differ; leverage measured as Debt/Total Capital moderate given high cash flow (Total Debt/Enterprise Value small % per some snapshots).
Commentary on solvency/liquidity
Strong operating cash generation and large market cap provide ample capacity to service debt and fund capex/R&D. Short‑term liquidity adequate; interest coverage is strong given high EBITDA and cash flow. Material execution risk arises if GLP‑1 pricing or demand deteriorates sharply—could stress near‑term growth assumptions but balance sheet remains investment grade in profile.
4) Cash flow (latest 4 quarters, approximate)
Operating cash flow (TTM): ~17–18B
Capital expenditures (TTM): ~1.5–2.0B (increased manufacturing capex in 2024–2025)
Free cash flow (TTM): ~15–16B
Commentary
Cash generation is robust and supports capex, share repurchases and dividend; capex is elevated for capacity expansion but remains a modest share of operating cash flow. FCF margin is strong and sustainable if product demand persists.
5) Comparable valuation (peers) — snapshot multiples
Peers chosen: Novo Nordisk (NVO), AstraZeneca (AZN), Amgen (AMGN), Regeneron (REGN) — peer set focused on diabetes/biotech large caps.
Table (approximate multiples — market data as of 26 Sep 2025)
LLY: P/E ~49 (TTM), EV/EBITDA ~38, P/S ~15
NVO: P/E ~35, EV/EBITDA ~28, P/S ~10
AMGN: P/E ~20, EV/EBITDA ~12, P/S ~4
REGN: P/E ~25, EV/EBITDA ~15, P/S ~6
Comment: LLY trades at premium to large pharm/biotech peers reflecting superior growth from GLP‑1 franchises and margin profile; premium justified only if growth and pricing hold.
6) Fair value estimate — Simplified DCF (base case)
Assumptions
Base year unlevered free cash flow (FCF) = USD 15.5B (TTM approximate).
Explicit forecast horizon = 5 years.
FCF growth: Year1–2: +10% then Year3: +8%, Year4: +6%, Year5: +4% (reflecting moderation as market saturates and competition intensifies).
Terminal growth rate = 3.0% (long‑term GDP/inflation real+inflation).
WACC = 8.5% (reflects large cap pharma, low beta, moderate leverage).
Calculation (rounded)
Projected FCFs:
Year1: 17.05B; Year2: 18.76B; Year3: 20.26B; Year4: 21.48B; Year5: 22.34B
Terminal value at end Year5 = Year5*(1+g)/(WACC−g) = 22.34*(1.03)/(0.085−0.03) ≈ 22.34*1.03/0.055 ≈ 418.5B
Discount PV of FCFs + terminal (discounted at 8.5%) ≈ PV(FCFs) ~ (sum PV FCFs) ≈ 72–80B + PV(Terminal) ≈ 300–330B → Enterprise value ~380–410B.
Net debt (~36B) → implied equity value ≈ 344–374B.
Divide by shares outstanding (946.5M) → implied fair price ≈ USD 363–395 per share.
Observation: The simplified DCF produces a materially lower fair value than market cap — this stems from conservative growth fade and relatively low WACC; however market prices imply much higher expectations (market cap ~650–700B). Discrepancy suggests market pricing embeds either higher sustained FCF growth, lower discount rate, or different terminal assumptions. Because LLY’s current market cap and observed multiples are much higher, applying market‑implied expectations leads to a higher implied fair value (consistent with P/E ~49). For investors, using the simplified DCF above suggests the stock may be fully valued or richly priced unless strong multi‑year growth persists.
Sensitivity
WACC ±1% (7.5% / 9.5%) with base growth: implied price range roughly USD 470 (WACC 7.5%) to USD 295 (WACC 9.5%).
Terminal growth ±1% (2% / 4%): price moves roughly USD −60 / +90 vs base.
(Notes: DCF is simplified and uses rounded FCF; full model should use operating projections by product, tax, capex schedule. If instead one applies market multiples to 2026E EBITDA, implied prices vary widely — see sources.)
7) SWOT
Strengths
Market leader in next‑gen GLP‑1/dual agonists (rapid adoption).
Strong gross & operating margins; robust FCF generation.
Diversified pipeline (oncology, CV) and global commercial footprint.
Experienced management, strong manufacturing investment.
Weaknesses
High valuation multiples implying little margin for error.
Dependence on a few high‑revenue products (Mounjaro/Zepbound).
Manufacturing scale‑up challenges and supply chain concentration risks.
Increasing SG&A/R&D investment could press short‑term margins.
Opportunities
New indications (cardio‑protective label for tirzepatide), oral incretins (orforglipron) could expand market.
International expansion and formulary wins.
Bolt‑on M&A to diversify revenue streams.
Threats
Intense competition (Novo Nordisk market share, formulary dynamics).
Payer reimbursements, pricing caps, regulatory scrutiny.
Potential adverse trial/regulatory outcomes for pipeline assets.
Macroeconomic/tighter capital markets affecting healthcare spend.
8) Key risks, catalysts & timeline
Primary risks
Competitive pressure from Novo Nordisk (Wegovy/Ozempic), payer formulary preferences (e.g., CVS formulary moves).
Regulatory/pricing risk (US and international).
Execution: supply chain, manufacturing scale, and successful indication expansions.
Concentration risk: heavy revenue share from GLP‑1 franchise.
Near‑term catalysts & timeline (next 12 months approximate)
Q3 2025 earnings release (expected Oct–Nov 2025; company calendar/earnings dates per IR).
FDA/regulatory milestones for label expansions / approvals for oral incretins or oncology programs (dates vary; watch company pipeline calendar).
Quarterly sales updates and guidance adjustments — next: Q3 2025 release.
(Precise dates: refer to investor relations events page and SEC filings; earnings typically quarterly — check IR for confirmed dates.)
9) Recommendation & risk positioning
Recommendation: Hold, with possible "Buy the Dip" scenario.
Rationale: Strong fundamentals and cash generation support a positive long‑term outlook, but the stock trades at elevated multiples that already price in sustained high growth; meaningful execution/competitive downside could compress the valuation. Hold for investors with neutral risk appetite; consider trimming positions for valuation‑sensitive portfolios and adding on material pullbacks or clearer evidence of sustained mid‑teens revenue growth beyond 2026.
Suggested horizon: Medium term (12–24 months) for monitoring catalysts; long term (3–5 years) only if comfortable with pipeline and competitive dynamics.
Risk/return profile: Medium risk / moderate to high reward conditional on continued GLP‑1 dominance and successful pipeline commercialization; downside risk if market share or pricing erodes.
10) Sources & data date

Eli Lilly: Weight-Loss Giant Amid AI Drug Discovery Eli Lilly: Undervalued Weight-Loss Giant Amid AI Drug Discovery and Virginia Jobs Boom Trends? $1050 Target in Sight?
Eli Lilly (LLY) shares are trading at $755.39 today, up 0.45% amid analyst upgrades and fresh headlines on its $2.3 billion Virginia manufacturing plant expansion, creating 650 high-paying jobs in Goochland County.
This comes as Q2 2025 earnings showcased 36% revenue growth to $11.3B, driven by blockbuster obesity drugs like Mounjaro and Zepbound, with analysts forecasting 2025 EPS of $13.14—up 20% YoY.
Just as #AI and #technology explode on X with 17K+ mentions today (fueled by AI video generators and drug discovery hype), and #business trends spotlight corporate expansions like Eli Lilly's Virginia move, LLY's AI-powered R&D pipeline positions it for viral growth in the $100B+ weight-loss market.
But with a forward P/E of 28x, is LLY the undervalued pharma powerhouse ready for a rally to $1050, or will patent cliffs and competition temper the upside? Let's break down the fundamentals, SWOT, charts, and setups for September 17, 2025.
Fundamental Analysis
Eli Lilly's momentum is anchored in its GLP-1 dominance and innovative pipeline, with the Virginia plant bolstering U.S. production amid supply constraints for weight-loss drugs. Analysts expect 2025 revenue of $47.3B (up 18% YoY), powered by approvals for oral obesity pills and oncology breakthroughs like Verzenio.
With #AI trends surging on X, LLY's use of machine learning in drug design (e.g., accelerating lung cancer therapies) undervalues its tech edge, trading 18% below fair value per DCF models. However, regulatory hurdles for new GLP-1s could delay peaks if biosimilar competition ramps up.
- **Positive:**
- Virginia plant announcement drives job creation buzz, aligning with #business trends and signaling supply chain resilience for 20%+ EPS growth.
- Q2 beat with $2.9B in Mounjaro sales; AI integrations in R&D tie into today's #AI hype, projecting $100B+ peak sales for obesity franchise.
- Broader trends in personalized medicine and #technology (19K mentions) position LLY for 15% annual revenue CAGR amid global demand.
- **Negative:**
- Patent expirations on key drugs like Humalog loom by 2026, clashing with #AI optimism if innovation lags.
- High R&D spend ($10B+ annually) pressures margins if trial delays hit, especially in a sticky inflation environment.
SWOT Analysis
**Strengths:** Market-leading GLP-1 portfolio with 50%+ share in obesity treatments; robust cash flow ($12B FCF TTM) funds AI-driven innovations, amplified by #AI relevance in drug discovery.
**Weaknesses:** Premium valuation at 28x forward P/E amid growth dependency; supply bottlenecks exposed by demand surges, vulnerable in #technology-shifting markets.
**Opportunities:** Virginia expansion for 650 jobs taps #business trends; AI for faster trials unlocks $50B+ in new therapies, undervalued at 18% below fair value amid #AI boom.
**Threats:** Biosimilar erosion from Novo Nordisk rivals; regulatory scrutiny on weight-loss ads during viral #technology discussions on social media.
Technical Analysis
On the daily chart, LLY is in a bullish uptrend, coiling in an ascending channel after bouncing from $740 support, with volume rising on plant news and mirroring #AI volatility spikes. The weekly confirms a multi-year bull flag from 2023 lows, now extending higher. Current price: $755.39, with VWAP at $752 as intraday pivot.
Key indicators:
- **RSI (14-day):** At 72, overbought but strong positive momentum—watch for pullback amid #technology surges. 📈
- **MACD:** Bullish crossover with expanding histogram, signaling acceleration; no divergence yet. ⚠️
- **Moving Averages:** Price above 21-day EMA ($745) and 50-day SMA ($730), golden cross intact for medium-term bull.
Support/Resistance: Key support at $740 (recent low and 50-day SMA), resistance at $770 (September high) and $800 (analyst target). Patterns/Momentum: Channel breakout targets $850; strong buy signals. 🟢 Bullish signals: Volume on #business news. 🔴 Bearish risks: RSI overbought could retrace 5% on profit-taking.
Scenarios and Risk Management
- **Bullish Scenario:** Break above $770 on oral pill approval or #AI catalyst targets $850 short-term, then $1050 by year-end. Buy dips to $740 for entries tied to Virginia jobs hype.
- **Bearish Scenario:** Drop below $740 eyes $700 (200-day EMA); competition news amid #technology fade could trigger 10% pullback.
- **Neutral/Goldilocks:** Range-bound $740–$770 if data mixed and #AI cools, suiting options or waiting for Q3 earnings.
Risk Tips: Use stops 2% below support ($725) to manage volatility. Risk 1-2% per trade. Diversify with NVO or broader healthcare to avoid #business correlation traps.
Conclusion/Outlook
Overall, a bullish bias if LLY holds $740, supercharged by today's #AI and #business trends, affirming its undervalued status with 30%+ upside on pipeline wins and expansions. But watch FDA updates and Q3 guidance for confirmation—this fits September's healthcare rotation amid viral tech hype. What’s your take? Bullish on LLY amid #AI drug trends or waiting for a dip?

Eli Lily - Complex corrective structure endingNYSE:LLY price action suggest that the stock is likely to complete its extended corrective structure. IF successful, the stock will likely to rally higher as the stock has completed the last leg of the E wave of the 5-wave expanded falling wedge structure.
MACD has perform a crossover at the bottom and histogram has turned positive. Mid-term Stochastic Oscillator has confirmed the oversold crossover. 23-period ROC is positive.
Target is 870.00 and 1010.00 over the longer-term period.
Eli Lilly (LLY) Weekly Chart – Double Top Patterns & Major SuppoLLY has formed consecutive double top patterns within a broad descending channel.
Price recently tested a long-term major support zone and bounced strongly, signaling renewed buying interest. If this momentum holds, a move toward the major resistance near $973 is possible, aligning with the upper trend-line.
RSI remains in recovery territory, suggesting potential for further upside before overbought conditions appear.
$LLY: Decision Zone — Wedge Breakout or Retest of 685Eli Lilly (LLY) rebounded off the long-term trendline and weekly demand box (≈622–686) and is compressing inside a descending wedge.
Bullish path (blue): a clean break and retest of wedge resistance opens room toward the prior extension/marker near ~970.
Bearish path (red): rejection at the wedge cap could send price back to the green trendline for a higher-low around ~685 before another attempt up.
News supporting the bullish path:
1- Mounjaro (tirzepatide) UK price hike: Lilly will lift UK list prices by up to ~170% from Sept 1, 2025 (e.g., highest doses from ~£122 to ~£330), with pharmacies flagging stockpiling/shortages. This supports revenue/ASP but may draw scrutiny.
2- Phase 3 ATTAIN-2 (orforglipron, oral GLP-1): trial met primary & key secondary endpoints in patients with obesity/overweight and Type-2 diabetes; company guiding to global regulatory submissions this year. Reports cite ~10.5% mean weight loss at the top dose. Sentiment tailwind for the obesity franchise.
Invalidation: weekly close below ~622.
Not financial advice :)
Lilly Has Fallen. Can it Get Up?Eli Lilly has been trending lower, and some traders may see further downside risk in the pharma giant.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the bearish gap on August 7. The decline came despite better-than-expected quarterly results, which may reflect weakening fundamentals.
Second is the May 23 low of $709 where LLY now appears to be stalling. Has old support become new resistance?
Third, last week’s peak occurred at a 50 percent retracement of the decline from late July.
Fourth, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is below the 200-day SMA. That may confirm a longer-term downtrend is in effect.
Next, the 8-day exponential moving average is below the 21-day EMA. That may reflect a bearish short-term trend.
Finally, LLY is an active underlier in the options market. That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

LLY - Clean Levels UpdatedEli Lilly's hit those 708.49 and 711 levels I mentioned in my previous LLY post.
I've added some weekly levels, and a couple relevant spots from my boxed LLY chart.
If LLY loses steam up here we could easily see a retest of that box top area in the $680 - $678 range. Otherwise if we see a market wide reversion from today's liquidation, and LLY clears today's high(~714) and firmly holds that high volume area, that gap($738) fill would be a no-brainer.
Personally leaning on the side of a short continuation(in the near time at least), didn't really trust the low volume float up over the last few trading days, and definitely don't like the decreasing volume into that $711 - $714 area (I'd consider it a Look above and fail).
Regardless of bias, we trade what we see.

LLY AUG-2025Eli Lilly ( NYSE:LLY ) rebounded strongly from the 640 support zone after institutional absorption. Price is now targeting the gap at 740, aligning with prior distribution levels. Sustained momentum above 700 could drive continuation into 737–740. Failure to hold above 640 risks a deeper move into the 440 gap.
Upside target: 740
Downside target: 440

Red Pill or Blue Pill?Red Pill first - let’s stick to some harsh realities, but using technical analysis only.
Why the harsh crash?
We were rejected at the Value Area high at $972, followed by another rejection at the 0.786 Fibonacci level at $916, along with the top of the flag pattern of this giant bull flag. This was an epic short for those that took it, strong technical confluence.
We then began consolidating before another rejection of the POC - $776, we also lost the 21 week moving average. The rejection was on a large volume candle - so the bears are firmly in control, for now. This is a pivotal point since Lily had claimed the 21 week moving average in December 2020, and it was only just lost. Not good.
Blue Pill - is there hope? I think so. In my opinion this is a giant bull flag pattern and eventually Eli Lilly will break all time highs, but that will take time to play out. Don't be mistaken, the bears are in full control. But we are now sitting on the first line of support - the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $641 and the VAL - so far we are holding. Is this the optimal entry for new longs? It's not a bad place to start building a position, if you want to be extremely aggressive. We have just dipped into my DEMAND ZONE box.
Waiting for lower? Well that is likely given the downtrend volume. We could get an optimal entry between $557 to $599. We have a strong confluence of the 200 week moving average and the golden ratio pocket. I don't think we will lose the critical weekly support level, but if that is lost there isn't a lot of support below. I do firmly believe institutions will be stepping in here and buying aggressively. Of course a recession will change everything, but we are not there yet.
So there's reasons to be optimistic for long term holders buying on dips, but don't expect a swift recovery.

LLY - Clean LevelsBull flag patten on the LLY weekly Chart. The base of the flag/channel has been reactive so far although with low volume (See previously boxed LLY chart) off the top of the recent boxed range.
If you look at the previous chart, you will see that LLY is currently floating up through a low volume node on the anchored volume profile. Unless sellers step in here, 708.49/709 - 711.44 is the next target.
Volume will be in that area, if buyers step in, could be great for calls. Otherwise we could see a look above and fail of the top boxed range(again see previous chart under related publications to the right of this post).

Catalyst Growth Drivers

LLY's Zepbound and Mounjaro are establishing dominance in the obesity treatment market:
Head-to-head trials showed Zepbound achieved 20.2% average weight loss vs. 13.7% for Wegovy over 72 weeks
Orforglipron (oral GLP-1) met Phase 3 goals in type 2 diabetes with significant A1C and weight reduction
Growing international expansion (India launch at competitive pricing)
2. Alzheimer's Portfolio Development
Kisunla (donanemab) received marketing authorization in Australia for early Alzheimer's
FDA approved a new dosing schedule that significantly lowers ARIA-E risk while maintaining efficacy
Long-term extension data from Phase 3 showing slowing of decline continued to grow over three years

Technical Analysis
Looking at your charts:
Weekly Chart: LLY is currently trading at $672.40, having pulled back significantly from all-time highs above $900. Price is now testing key Fibonacci support levels:
61.8% retracement at $753.31
161.8% extension around $637 providing strong support
Williams Alligator indicator showing potential bottoming pattern
Daily Chart: Parabolic SAR indicates a bearish trend but approaching potential reversal point. Stochastic showing oversold condition with potential for bounce.
Hourly Chart: Recent consolidation with slight upward momentum forming after significant decline.
Long-Term Investment Thesis
Industry Leadership: LLY continues to lead innovation in high-growth therapeutic areas including obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
Pipeline Strength: Multiple late-stage candidates and recent approvals ensure revenue growth for years to come. The company's commitment to R&D is evident in its consistent pipeline progression and breakthrough treatments.
Valuation Opportunity: Recent pullback from all-time highs provides a more attractive entry point for long-term investors, with PE ratio improving from 134 in Q2 2024 to 63 in Q2 2025.
Expansion Strategy: LLY is pursuing strategic acquisitions (SiteOne, Verve Therapeutics) and partnerships to strengthen its portfolio in key therapeutic areas.
Risk Factors
Political/Regulatory Risk: Potential drug pricing reforms and tariff threats could impact pricing power
Competition: Novo Nordisk and emerging competitors in the GLP-1 space
Valuation Concerns: Despite pullback, still trading at premium PE ratio compared to sector average
Entry Strategy
The recent pullback from the $900 level creates a potential long-term entry opportunity as LLY tests key technical support around $670-680.
Consider:
Initiating a position at current levels (~$672)
Adding on further weakness toward the $637 support level (if it occurs)
Using the recent low as a stop-loss reference point
With continued execution on its strategy and pipeline advancement, LLY has strong potential to resume its uptrend and deliver significant long-term growth.
Eli Lilly (LLY) – Pharma Giant at a Key Price LevelHi,
Eli Lilly & Co. is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, founded in 1876 and headquartered in Indianapolis. It operates in over 125 countries and is best known for blockbuster treatments in diabetes, obesity, oncology, and immunology. Recent growth has been driven largely by its GLP-1 class drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound, which have quickly become industry leaders in the weight-loss and diabetes markets.
Recent Fundamentals (Q2 2025)
Revenue: $15.56 B (+38% YoY)
- EPS: $6.31 (beat expectations)
- Mounjaro sales: $5.2 B
- Zepbound sales: $3.38 B
- Full-year guidance: Revenue $60–62 B, EPS $21.75–$23.00
- Margins: Gross margin ~82.6%, net margin ~25.9%
- Profitability: ROE ~75.5%, ROIC ~29.6%
While fundamentals remain strong, the recent Phase III data for the oral weight-loss pill orforglipron came in below expectations, sparking a ~14% drop, the stock’s steepest one-day decline in decades. Analysts have since trimmed long-term sales forecasts for this product.
From a valuation perspective, the stock trades at a premium (~41× P/E, ~10.7× P/S), leaving little room for major disappointments.
Technicals
Technically speaking, the price has arrived in the zone where I’ve been patiently waiting to share it as an idea. This is a good area from where to start building positions if you’re interested.
There are quite a few technical confluence factors aligning here, but be ready to grab it also around $500 if the market offers it. Let that be your guide:
- If you’re not willing to hold long-term, don’t touch it.
- If you’re not willing to buy more at lower prices, don’t touch it.
Good luck,
Vaido
