Eli Lilly On Thursday, the first quarter of income and income that estimates were at the top reported because the demand for its weight loss and diabetes drugs increased, but left its profit guidance for the entire year as a result of a recent cancer treatment agreement.
The pharmaceutical giant now expects that the adjusted tax 2025 income will eat between $ 20.78 and $ 22.28 per share, a decrease from previous earlier guidelines from $ 22.50 to $ 24 per share. Eli Lilly said that the assessment reflects $ 1.57 billion the costs that are registered in the first quarter, which is mainly related to the acquisition of a certain medicines for oral cancer from Scorpion Therapeutics.
The company maintained its tax 2025 sales guidance from $ 58 billion to $ 61 billion. Eli Lilly said that the guidance reflects the existing rates of President Donald Trump from 1 May, but does not include his planned taxes imported into the US
In an interview with CNBC, Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks said that the company and other drug makers are already announcing investments in American production, one of the indicated goals of the Trump Administration administration.
“I think the threat of rates actually brought back critical Supply Chains important industries, chips and pharmaceuticals,” said Ricks. “We have to take that too [tariffs?] I’m not sure. “
I have added that Eli Lilly wants to see permanent lower tax rates in the US, individually 15% for domestic production. Ricks said that lower taxes led many drug makers to produce on “Low Tax Islands such as Ireland Singapore and in Switzerland, and that can come back if there is an economic incentive.”
Eli Lilly’s blockbuster Diabetes treatment Mounjaro at the top of expectations for the first quarter, with a turnover of $ 3.84 billion. That is a Whopping 113% from the same diary per year per day.
The weight loss of the Zepbound company also defeated estimates and booked $ 2.31 billion in sales for the quarter. That has quadrupled more than $ 517.4 million that monitored the treatment in a year ago, when it had just entered the American market.
Analysts expected that Mounjaro and Zepbound would generate $ 3.81 billion and $ 2.28 billion in salales, according to Estreet Street.
Shares of Eli Lilly fell by 4%on Thursday. That came afterwards CVS Health On Thursday said his pharmacy advantage manager would make Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy The preferred medication for weight loss on his main formularies instead of Zepbound.

- Profit per share: $ 3.34 adapted versus $ 3.02 expected
- Gain: $ 12.73 billion versus $ 12.67 billion expecteda
The company achieved a turnover of the first quarter of $ 12.73 billion, an increase of 45% from the same diary a year ago.
Turnover in the US increased by 49% to $ 8.49 billion. Eli Lilly said this was driven by up to 57% in volume – or the number of recipes sold or units – for Zepbound and Mounjaro. That was partially compensated by Lowe who carried out the prices of the drarugs, the company said.

The demand in the US has surpassed the supply of Zepbound and Moujaro in the past year. Both so-called Incilettin treatments mimic certain intestinal hormones to get rid of the appetite of a press and regulates their blood sugar.
The popularity of medicines for host injection has forced Bel Eli Lilly and his rival Novo Nordisk to invest billions to increase production capacity for their treatments.
The efforts that appeal to pay off: the administration of food and DRARUG in December confirmed its decision to explain the American shortage of Pullzepatide – the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro. That decision effectively prohibits many composite pharmacies from marketing and sale of cheaper, non -restricted versions of Tirzepatide.
