    Question

    Eli Lilly GLP-1 Revenue Hits $27.7B in 1H 2026 as Oral Foundayo Expands

    Direct answer

    Eli Lilly's metabolic portfolio continues to expand, with Mounjaro and Zepbound driving $27.7 billion in 1H 2026 revenue. Formulary adoption of Foundayo provides an oral growth leg that expands the addressable patient base beyond injectable formats. The 7% monthly pullback in LLY shares reflects profit-taking and multiple compression across large-cap healthcare as 10-year yields approach 5%, rather than deterioration in underlying prescription momentum. — bullish pressure on LLY.
