Eli Lilly Shares Soar on Inluriyo Approval, Despite Major Shareholder Sale
Eli Lilly and Company has seen its share price soar following the FDA approval of Inluriyo, a breakthrough drug for aggressive breast cancer. Despite this positive news, a major shareholder, Lilly Endowment Inc., has sold 112,596 shares, raking in $92.5 million. However, this sale is not indicative of negative prospects for the company.
Inluriyo has proven to reduce the risk of disease progression or death by a significant 38% in patients with hormone-resistant breast cancer. It also offers an additional 1.7 months of progression-free survival compared to standard therapies. This success, along with the continued growth of diabetes and weight loss blockbusters Mounjaro and Zepbound, is driving Eli Lilly's growth.
The company's Alzheimer's drug, Kisunla, has also received European approval, opening up a billion-dollar market. Analysts predict a remarkable increase of over 440% year-over-year in earnings per share and over 40% in revenue for Q3. These new oncology successes further strengthen Eli Lilly's growth foundation.
Eli Lilly's stock is flourishing due to the FDA approval of Inluriyo and other successful drugs. Despite a major shareholder selling a portion of its shares, the company's future outlook remains positive, with analysts forecasting significant increases in earnings and revenue.
