I. Recent Eli Lilly Stock Performance

LLY Drug Sales Soared in 2024

The updated LLY price target from Geoff Meacham suggests a potential 25% increase from the Aug. 19 closing price of LLY, yet this is far from assured. Eli Lilly's stock price has increased by 58% in the current year, significantly influenced by tripeptide success, a drug marketed as Mounjaro for diabetes alongside Zepbound for weight management. This dual action of the drug on GIP and GLP-1 receptors has given it an edge over competitors, contributing to an 86% sales increase during Q2, 2024.

LLY Key Financial Metrics

While Wall Street sentiment is bullish on the LLY stock, with analysts anticipating further growth, the stock price currently trades at approximately 60 times forward earnings. This high valuation not only presents market optimism but also reflects significant risk. The stock could gain considerably if drivers like Tirzepatide and Kisunla deliver as expected. However, setbacks could lead the stock to a sharp decline, making this a high-stakes investment. LLY might offer substantial rewards for those comfortable with risk, but smart financial investors may prefer to hold on till getting a potential entry point.

When writing, LLY stock price is 952.71, seeking to reach the previous ATH of 967.00. As many expert analysts anticipate, any breakout above that level can trigger the price to reach nearly 1150.00 by the end of 2024.

In the daily market trend, LLY trades within a stable bullish trend. The mid-2024 came with massive selling pressure.

As long as the current bottom is valid, the upcoming price direction could be bullish for this stock.

Meanwhile, during this period, the downside risk is near 640.00. Looking at the daily chart, the price is floating above the EMA 100 line, reflecting bullish pressure. In contrast, the RSI indicator window supports positive price pressure as the dynamic signal line floats at 65.04, leaving buyers optimistic as the price may head toward a new ATH and meet analyst expectations.

In the meantime, the ADX indicator value of 27.14 indicates that bulls may lose power at this level and can return to the nearest support near 776.60. Any breakout can trigger the price toward the next support near 640.00.

The earning estimation is 4.42 for the next year, between 3.82 and 5.01. This is a positive sign for the stock price, as EPS is among the key indicators that drive the asset price. Additionally, LLY beat the earnings expectations by 100% for the previous 12 months.

These data from earnings reports, sales reports, etc., are essential factors while anticipating the stock price, which enables the opening of potentially profitable trading positions.

Lilly Stock Forecast 2024 - Bullish Factors

  • High Potential Drugs: Potential drugs, including Jardiance, Mounjaro, Taltz, Zepbound, and Verzenio, can boost the stock price of the LLY. Each drug is poised to make considerable contributions in its respective fields.
  • Strategic Acquisitions: The acquisition of Morphic, with its promising drug MORF-057 for inflammatory bowel disease, highlights Eli Lilly's strategic approach to bolstering its portfolio through carefully selected acquisitions.
  • Operational Efficiency: Backed by a strong balance sheet, Eli Lilly's focus on cost management and operational efficiency is expected to drive net income growth beyond revenue growth, supporting a positive outlook for LLY

Eli Lilly Stock Prediction 2024 - Bearish Factors

  • Regulatory Challenges: Increased competition from many other pharmaceutical companies could impact total market revenue for LLY stock, and it could face regulatory challenges due to new drugs.
  • Patent Expiration: Some of the LLY drugs are approaching patent expiration, which may lead to the introduction of generic alternatives and negatively impact the stock price.

III. Eli Lilly Stock Forecast 2025

The weekly chart reveals that the LLY stock price just hit the ATH near 972.53 and may reach the anticipated level of 1437.00 by the end of 2025.

Looking at the weekly price of LLY, there is a stable upward pressure with no sign of a divergence at the all-time high level. Instead of forming a bearish continuation, the price found a bottom at the 700.00 psychological line and created bullish pressure from there. However, the immediate resistance of the May 2024 high is still protected, suggesting a limit to bulls. Looking at the long-term structure, the upward pressure is potent, and any trend trading strategy might work as a potential investment opportunity.

As the chart above shows, the price has remained above the EMA 52 line for longer. The price hovering near the 52-week high means the asset has the potential to reach resistance. In this context, a valid upward pressure above the 965.00 level with a weekly close might resume the existing trend above the 1500.00 area.

Meanwhile, although the dynamic signal lines of the MACD indicator window remain in bullish territory, the histogram bars are still red and below the midline, suggesting hope for sellers. So, the price can be returned to the nearest support, which is near 754.02, as a correction before reaching a new ATH.

Eli Lilly is expected to see continued revenue growth driven by its strong product pipeline, which includes key drugs like Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Verzenio. Analysts predict these products will rapidly contribute to top-line growth, particularly as they soar further in market penetration.

Revenue growth is another crucial factor when selecting any stock by country. The chart above shows that the major revenue of the LLY stock comes from the US, which means the microeconomic factor in the US could directly affect LLY's business.

LLY EPS Forecast For 2025

EPS, or earnings per share, is another key factor when evaluating potential stocks for investment decisions.  The EPS beats 100% of the previous 12 months, which is very positive for the LLY stock and indicates that the share price may beat analysts' expectations of reaching 1150.00 by the end of 2025.

IV. Eli Lilly Stock Forecast 2030 and Beyond

The monthly chart shows the price is on a solid uptrend and may seek to reach 1851.00 over the next five years in 2030 or beyond.

The monthly timeframe of LLY represents the multi-year view, where the most bullish pressure came during the post-Covid days. Also, the current monthly candle represents a strong upward continuation as the bearish engulfing candlestick is fully reversed with a bullish one. However, the bullish tren since 2010 came with now significant downside recovery, which suggests a pending crash. Priamrily, a pump and dump scheme could appear in this stock, which will validate near-term price actions.

The Bollinger Band shows the price moving along the upper band for extended periods, indicating significant bullish pressure on the asset price. Meanwhile, the signal line at the CCI indicator moves above the upper line, supporting the bullish pressure. According to the current structure, the LLY stock price can hit 3958.65 by the end of 2030.

In contrast, when the price on the upper band of the Bollinger bands for a longer period indicates a possible retracement soon. So, any pause in the current uptrend may drive the price to drop at the nearest support, near 785.00, followed by the next support, near 601.74.

V. Conclusion

A. Eli Lilly Stock Outlook

Eli Lilly stock has already provided a massive return to investors since its inception and is likely to provide more in the coming years. Considering the most recent recovery after the market crash in 2024, the upward possibility is solid and can break the record high by the end of 2024.

Also, the growth is likely to extend in 2025 as the fundamental structure, earnings forecast and by country revenue remains solid. Following the trend, the 1437.00 to 1500.00 area is most likely to be tested before forming a decent recovery.

The upward pressure might find a relief after reaching the 1500.00 psychological line. In that case, a massive selling pressure might appear as a part of the liquidity grab before heading towards the 1850.00 area by the end of 2030.
