    Eli Lilly Raises 2026 Revenue Guidance to $91B-$92B Driven by GLP-1 Demand

    Direct answer

    The Motley Fool reports that Eli Lilly raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to between $91 billion and $92 billion, up from $85 billion to $87 billion previously. The $5.5 billion upward revision reflects accelerating global demand for its GLP-1 portfolio, led by Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Market participants continue to evaluate whether sustained volume growth in metabolic therapeutics can defend this premium multiple against broader sector valuation compression. — bullish pressure on NVO.
