Bottom line Eli Lilly delivered a strong report Tuesday. Still, it's not a surprise to see shares of Eli Lilly fall nearly 2% Tuesday, to around $694 each. Despite doubling manufacturing capacity year over year in 2023, Eli Lilly said demand for its GLP-1s is "likely to outpace supply" this year. We're raising our Eli Lilly price target to $750 a share from $630, while reiterating our 2 rating on the stock, meaning we'd wait for a pullback before adding to our position. Eli Lilly & Co.

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.

☆ Tirzepatide: Weight loss drug helps significantly lower blood pressure in adults who are overweight or obese, study finds

The participants had their blood pressure monitored for a day before beginning treatment and again after nine months of weekly tirzepatide injections. The results showed a significant decrease in the participants’ systolic blood pressure, the top number in blood pressure readings, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. It works similarly to semaglutide, the active compound in the weight loss drug Wegovy and its sister diabetes drug, Ozempic. Although there are effective blood pressure medications available, only about a quarter of people with hypertension have adequately controlled blood pressure, Hall said. He views the weight loss effect of the drug as a pleasant side effect that will make people more likely to take their medication.

The Indianapolis-based company is now testing its drug in a 1,500-person trial with volunteers in China, Taiwan, South Korea and the EU, a spokesperson said. Leqembi, which works by removing a toxic protein called beta amyloid from the brain, is the first Alzheimer's treatment proven to alter the course of the fatal, brain-wasting disease. Once on treatment, suitable patients undergo a series of MRI scans to monitor for potentially fatal swelling and bleeding in the brain.

In a letter days before the Fed’s decision Wednesday to hold interest rates steady at a 23-year high, Democratic US senators blasted the central bank for America’s housing woes. In 2021 when the Fed’s key interest rate was near zero, home-price growth soared at a historic double-digit pace, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index.

Because anti-smoking groups aren’t just fighting the tobacco companies these days. They have fractured over tobacco harm reduction — the idea that people who cannot or will not quit smoking should be provided with alternatives, notably e-cigarettes, which deliver nicotine without burning tobacco. They argue that e-cigarettes will lead to a new generation addicted to nicotine, even if they are not smoking. It focuses largely, but not entirely, on reduced-risk nicotine products, a category that includes e-cigarettes, oral tobacco, and “heat not burn” products that warm up tobacco without burning it.

Across the economy and country, women — and especially women of color — are paid less than their peers. "Relying on a candidate's salary history can exacerbate preexisting inequality in our pay structures, and disproportionately impact women and workers of color. And, as the National Women's Law Center chronicles , some employers use previous salaries as a benchmark for determining a new worker's salary — again essentially locking in some of the biases that could've kept that number lower. Research on salary history bans suggests that they are effective in narrowing pay gaps; one study , which focused on California's statewide salary history ban alongside other localities that enacted bans, found that the gender earning ratios increased, with women over the age of 35 particularly benefiting. The actions are pegged to the 15th anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which, per the EEOC , is the first piece of legislation President Barack Obama signed into law.
