Eli Lilly's Drug Pipeline Boosts Profits and Stock Performance

Eli Lilly reported an 85% increase in second-quarter profit, driven by strong sales from its drug pipeline. The pharmaceutical giant raised its full-year revenue guidance to between $33.4 billion and $33.9 billion, up from a previous forecast of $31.2 billion to $31.7 billion. The company also increased its adjusted earnings guidance. Sales growth was fueled by drugs such as Verzenio, Jardiance, and Mounjaro. However, sales of cancer drug Alimta declined due to the expiration of its U.S. patent.
