Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 94% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published November 13, 2025
LLY is a strong, widely owned stock, but it has climbed quickly, so buying on small dips is smarter than chasing. A new deal with MeiraGTx shows Lilly keeps adding options for future drugs. Coverage of its Alzheimer's drug Kisunla keeps the story in the spotlight. Over the next 0-3 months, steady demand for obesity and brain-health medicines could push shares higher, with buys near recent average prices helping manage swings.
Primary drivers
- Uptrend with clear signs that more buyers than sellers are active lately
- New MeiraGTx partnership expands options and boosts prospects for new drugs
- Ongoing attention on Alzheimer's drug Kisunla keeps investor interest high
- Prefer buying after small pullbacks rather than chasing quick upward moves
