Pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk, in partnership with Eli Lilly and Co., takes the top spot in the pharmaceutical sector according to Wells Fargo's latest stock analysis.
In the dynamic world of pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly and Company (WKN: 858560) is making waves with its recent offerings. The American pharmaceutical giant has been a favourite among investors, particularly Wells Fargo, in the USA's large pharmaceutical stocks.
One of Eli Lilly's latest additions to its portfolio is Zepbound, a weight loss medication that has only been on the market for less than a year. The drug has shown promising results, with patients using Zepbound able to reduce their weight by an average of almost 23%. In a recent clinical study, the placebo group managed a weight reduction of only 2%.
Zepbound's impact extends beyond weight loss. In the same study, the company Lilly achieved an impressive 94 percent result in reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals. This is a significant development, given the growing concerns around diabetes and its complications.
Eli Lilly is not resting on its laurels, though. In addition to Zepbound, the company also has Donanemab, an active ingredient for Alzheimer's treatment, in its pipeline. Donanemab has been attributed with blockbuster potential, adding to Eli Lilly's appeal for investors.
The pharmaceutical industry is experiencing significant growth in weight loss medications, with Goldman Sachs estimating the market will be worth $100 billion by 2030. This growth is not limited to Eli Lilly, as companies like Novo Nordisk are actively participating in the market with their offerings such as Wegovy.
Eli Lilly's quarterly figures have recently been impressive, and the publication of these positive results may have a potential impact on the company's stock price. Indeed, after a dip in early August, Eli Lilly's stock price increased more than 7%.
