Although Mounjaro and Zepbound have been headlining Lilly’s financial reports in recent years, the company’s roster of non-incretin products, which grew sales 20% in the fourth quarter, should “help anchor top-line growth,” too, the Citi analysts wrote in their note.

Eli Lilly & Co. said its Type-2 Diabetes drug Mounjaro and weight-loss/diabetes medicine Zepbound drove a 45% increase in fourth-quarter revenue to $13.53 billion.

The world’s biggest drugmaker Eli Lilly has forecast that profits for the year will beat expectations, after two choppy quarters when disappointing sales of its blockbuster weight-loss drugs led to sharp sell-offs in its shares.

Eli Lilly & Co. said it expects to generate adjusted 2025 profit of $22.50 a share to $24 a share in 2025. That compares to the FactSet consensus estimate of $22.76 a share for 2025. Lilly’s 2025 revenue target of $58 billion to $61 billion compares to the analyst estimate of $58.

Eli Lilly, the world’s biggest drugmaker by market value, reported higher-than-expected quarterly profit and issued a bullish earnings forecast. Sales of weight-loss drug Zepbound and diabetes drug Mounjaro rose in the fourth quarter.
