    Eli Lilly immunology division generates $2.6B in H1 revenue (+9% YoY) via M&A push

    Question

    Eli Lilly immunology division generates $2.6B in H1 revenue (+9% YoY) via M&A push

    Direct answer

    Eli Lilly disclosed that its immunology unit generated $2.6 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, rising 9% over the prior year and accounting for 6.1% of total top-line sales. The performance reflects growing volume in established product Taltz alongside commercial scaling for newly introduced therapies Ebglyss and Omvoh. Lilly has augmented organic R&D with targeted programmatic acquisitions including DICE Therapeutics, Morphic, and Merida to construct oral and targeted biologic immunology platforms. The expansion provides incremental cash flow diversification as the broader biopharma sector navigates Medicare drug price negotiations and GLP-1 manufacturing capacity buildouts.
