Eli Lilly & Co: Buy Rating Amid Valuation, Growth Prospects, and IPI Concerns

Analyst Mohit Bansal from Wells Fargo maintained a Buy rating on Eli Lilly & Co (LLYResearch Report) and keeping the price target at $1,000.00.

Mohit Bansal has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including the current valuation and future growth prospects of Eli Lilly & Co. Despite concerns about the impact of the International Pricing Index (IPI) on the company’s Tirzepatide franchise, Bansal believes the current stock price of Eli Lilly presents a buying opportunity due to its discounted cash flow fair value being estimated at $885 per share.
Bansal’s analysis considers the potential negative effects of pricing negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act but sees the company entering a catalyst-rich period in 2025. He expects continuous growth driven by new market opportunities and argues that the company could effectively counteract the negative pricing impact through data-driven arguments on the preventive benefits of its drugs. This potential for future growth, even under worst-case pricing scenarios, supports his recommendation to buy the stock.

In another report released on November 19, Leerink Partners also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $970.00 price target.

LLY’s price has also changed slightly for the past six months – from $783.180 to $753.410, which is a -3.80% drop .
