Eli Lilly (LLY) and Novo Nordisk (NVO) shares rose Tuesday after the Biden administration proposed expanding coverage of the companies' popular weight-loss drugs in government-backed healthcare plans including Medicare and Medicaid.
LLY's recent sell-off has been unwarranted indeed, since the lowered FY2024 guidance is attributed to the complexities of inventory management and non-cash/ one-time IPR&D charges. Even so, the pullback has been a gift for opportunistic investors, with the stock now trading nearer to our recommended buy zones. If anything, LLY is even cheaper at FWD PEG non-GAAP ratio of 0.85x, well below historical trends and its direct peer.
After flying high during the first half of the year, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (LLY -0.26%) has lost some momentum; the company's shares are down by 11% since June 1. However, the healthcare leader still has plenty of fans on Wall Street, including Israel Englander, the billionaire owner of Millennium Management, a hedge fund.
