Lilly posts another ‘blowout quarter’ as focus turns to Foundayo launch

Eli Lilly reported strong first-quarter earnings driven by overseas sales of Mounjaro (tirzepatide), beating Wall Street forecasts and raising full-year guidance. The company now controls 60% of the U.S. GLP-1 market and is focusing on Foundayo, its newly approved pill version, with 80% of early prescriptions going to patients trying the drug class for the first time.

Lilly now owns 60% of the US GLP-1 market and its new pill Foundayo is pulling in first-time users, not stealing from its own shots. That's bad news for Novo.

  • Mounjaro/Zepbound sales more than doubled to $8.7 billion in the quarter
