Like the Club, Credit Suisse holds a positive view on Mounjaro — the company's diabetes drug that's shown immense promise as an obesity treatment, too — and Lilly's latest experimental Alzheimer's drug ahead of a pivotal data release expected next year.

Credit Suisse rates J & J as neutral with a $170 price target, which is nearly 4% below where the stock closed Thursday.

To keep price-conscious customers in the fold, companies like Coke offer more packaging options.

And it plans to continue to bolster Coke Zero Sugar, a growth driver, with more marketing and other innovations.

"I have been very clear that I am sorry, and I have made mistakes," Truss told jeering opposition lawmakers in parliament.
