A highly popular group of weight loss and diabetes drugs is still hard to find in the U.S. The dominant manufacturers of those treatments, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk , are making progress toward changing that. Patients using current autoinjectors for weight loss and diabetes drugs go through four different pens per month. Eli Lilly expects supply for Zepbound, Mounjaro and other incretin drugs to remain "quite tight" in the near- to mid-term as demand remains high, Ashkenazi said. On the day Eli Lilly reported earnings, shares of the company jumped more than 5% on the raised guidance and supply updates.

Eli Lilly rode soaring demand for diabetes and weight-loss treatments to a better-than-expected finish in 2023, and the drugmaker expects momentum to carry into the new year. Lilly said on Tuesday that revenue could climb as much as 22% this year, as star sellers like the diabetes drug Mounjaro and its new weight-loss counterpart, Zepbound, gain market share. Mounjaro sales jumped 65% to $2.21 billion in the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter. Doctors also prescribe that drug off-label for weight loss, which is one of the hottest areas of pharmaceutical sales. The share price for Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co. has climbed over 400% since the start of the decade.

We will go over them – but first, let me talk about what I learned at last week's JPMorgan Health Care Conference that I attended in San Francisco, and what it means to your portfolio. We know health care has a lot of angles too it. The previous CEO Roz Brewer was from Starbucks and struggled with the role that Walgreens plays in health care. You have to be following the transformation of Bristol-Myers, which is opening its wallet to buy a host of drug companies, including anti-psychotic firm Karuna. Health care is the way to go.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Kalen DeBoer stood at a lectern, only a few feet from Nick Saban, and enthusiastically embraced the chance to both replace and learn from his larger-than-life predecessor. All that makes it easier to be the guy who replaces the guy who brought six national championships to Tuscaloosa in 17 years. A huge photo of Saban and players hoisting a national championship trophy hung on the wall behind DeBoer as he talked to reporters. DeBoer spoke with Saban on the phone Friday morning and called him again the next morning. Still, he wiped away tears while talking about leaving his Washington players who made it to the brink of a national title.

Novo Nordisk makes Ozempic and Wegovy, two hit drugs that treat obesity. In the past two weeks, it's announced more than $8 billion in manufacturing investments. AdvertisementNovo Nordisk, maker of the popular anti-obesity drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, is investing billions to ramp up production capacity amid surging demand. The move comes just after Novo Nordisk unveiled plans to shell out over $6 billion to expand manufacturing capacity in Denmark. That money will go toward increasing production capacity for semaglutide, the key ingredient in Ozempic and related medications.

Eli Lilly just debuted its powerful new weight-loss drug, Zepbound. Normally, when newer, better drugs are introduced, they match the price of similar drugs already available or come at a premium . Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have said that about 50 million people have some level of insurance coverage for weight-loss drugs. But some experts were skeptical, because employers and insurers don't typically pay the list price for drugs. Craig Garthwaite, an economist at Northwestern University, argued competition will drive the net prices of weight-loss drugs lower still.

Eli Lilly (LLY) remains our favorite way to play the weight-loss drug market, despite a new entry this week from AstraZeneca (AZN). Eli Lilly shares had their worst day of the year Thursday, falling 4.5% in the session to close at $591.32. AstraZeneca's encroachment on turf currently dominated by Eli Lilly and Danish rival Novo Nordisk (NVO) may have contributed to Thursday's declines. That approval, despite being widely expected, pushed Eli Lilly to an all-time closing high Wednesday, at $619.13 per share. Our desire to own Eli Lilly over Novo Nordisk hinges, in part, on our confidence in Eli Lilly's other treatment opportunities, such as in Alzheimer's.

LLY YTD mountain Eli Lilly's year-to-date stock performance. Investors are understandably cheering the results, sending Eli Lilly shares higher by more than 4%. "Eli Lilly today is beginning its next leg of going up," Jim Cramer said during Thursday's Morning Meeting . The most important line item was Mounjaro sales, which cleared Wall Street's high bar. Excluding that divestiture and the $387 million in Covid antibody sales in the year-ago quarter, Eli Lilly's sales grew 24% on an annual basis — a highly respectable figure.

Eli Lilly on Thursday reported third-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings that topped estimates on strong demand for its diabetes drug Mounjaro, but slashed its full-year profit guidance due to charges primarily related to its recent acquisitions. Eli Lilly recorded pre-tax "in-process research and development" charges of $2.98 billion, which are primarily related to a slew of recent buyouts, including DICE Therapeutics, Versanis Bio and Emergence Therapeutics AG. "This is essentially the future value of business development deals we have done," Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday. But Eli Lilly reiterated its full-year revenue forecast of between $33.4 billion and $33.9 billion. With a market cap of roughly $526 billion, Eli Lilly is the largest pharmaceutical company based in the U.S.

Eli Lilly on Thursday said supply of its blockbuster diabetes drug Mounjaro has improved in the U.S. after months of widespread shortages. During an earnings call Thursday, Eli Lilly executives said the company experienced tight supply for Mounjaro throughout most of the third quarter. But U.S. product shipments of Mounjaro have recently increased, and inventory levels at U.S. drug wholesalers have improved, according to Eli Lilly CFO Anat Ashkenazi. Eli Lilly has also invested more than $3 billion to build two new manufacturing sites in its home state of Indiana. Eli Lilly's main rival in the weight loss drug space, Novo Nordisk , is still navigating its own supply constraints of diabetes drug Ozempic and obesity treatment Wegovy.

The Eagles (5-1) got one more chance to win when they got the ball back, but the defense stiffened — as it had all game. Hurts finished 28 of 45 for 280 yards and one touchdown but had three picks against a Jets defense that was missing starting cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and D.J. By rule, only the player who lost the ball could recover the forward fumble in the end zone, so it was ruled that it was the Jets' ball on the 1. The Eagles took advantage of some poor tackling by the Jets in the second quarter. Jets: Rookie RG Joe Tippmann didn't come back after injuring his right thigh on the first play of the second quarter.

The proposed tax credit, 45V, is meant to turbocharge the production of low-emissions hydrogen. "The IRA's section 45V production tax credit is the most generous clean hydrogen subsidy in the world," Jesse Jenkins, professor of macro-scale energy systems at Princeton University, told CNBC. John Macdougall | Afp | Getty ImagesThe adjudication of the hydrogen tax credit has become about more than just the hydrogen tax credit, too. The amount of the hydrogen tax credit, which is available for 10 years, depends on the emissions generated in making hydrogen. If hydrogen is produced without releasing any carbon emissions, the tax credit is maxed out at $3 per kilogram of hydrogen.

Since Wegovy and Mounjaro have been on the market, "neither company can make the drug fast enough," she said. The Food and Drug Administration approved Ozempic in 2017 for diabetes and Wegovy in 2021 to treat obesity. Mounjaro, introduced in 2022 to treat diabetes, contains GLP-1, plus GIP, a similar appetite suppressor that can lead to weight loss. Coverage for Mounjaro ($1,023 per month) to treat diabetes varies based on an individual's insurance plan and drug benefits.

Obesity drugs take brakes off Big Pharma’s growth
  + stars: | 2023-08-08 | by ( Robert Cyran | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
That’s what Eli Lilly (LLY.N) did in the second quarter, thanks to demand for its diabetes and weight loss drug Mounjaro. While doctors are currently free to prescribe Mounjaro for obesity, insurers and governments typically won’t pay for what some still insist is a vanity treatment. Even so a regulatory green light, and clear evidence that these drugs have tangible health benefits, will help loosen purse strings. The brakes are off these firms’ growth, and investors are counting on them remaining so. Mounjaro, the company’s diabetes drug, brought in revenue of $980 million, compared to $16 million a year ago.
