Lilly Sales Jump 39% on Zepbound and Mounjaro

Eli Lilly said Thursday that third-quarter revenue rose 39% to $24.4 billion, beating the $22.61 billion analysts expected (LSEG), as Mounjaro sales rose 65% to $10.72 billion and Zepbound rose 49% to $5.35 billion. Lilly raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $91–92 billion from $85–87 billion but trimmed its adjusted profit outlook to $35–36 a share because of deal charges. Sales of its new obesity pill, Foundayo, missed estimates.
