Eli Lilly Raises Annual Revenue Forecast as GLP-1 Drugs Fuel Growth

Mounjaro and Zepbound generated nearly $15 billion in quarterly sales as worldwide volume rose 60%, helping Lilly lift full-year revenue guidance.

  • On Wednesday, Eli Lilly reported second-quarter revenue surged 48% to $23 billion, cementing its status as the only pharmaceutical company trading above a $1 trillion market cap.
  • Booming demand for the company's GLP-1 drugs drove these results, with Mounjaro sales surging 91% to $9.9 billion and Zepbound sales rising 46% to $4.9 billion.
  • Encouraged by sustained sales momentum, Lilly raised full-year revenue guidance to between $85 billion and $87 billion, up from the prior range of $82 billion to $85 billion.
  • Strengthening its future pipeline, the drugmaker committed an additional $4.5 billion to Indiana manufacturing and plans a first-quarter 2027 BLA filing for retatrutide.
  • While worldwide volume grew 60% despite a 13% decline in realized prices, analysts remain bullish on Lilly's ability to convert its pipeline into additional blockbusters.
