Why Eli Lilly Stock Slumped Today
A price war for weight-loss drugs is intensifying, and it's clear Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) investors weren't happy about it. On news that the company's arch-rival in the category had cut prices for several of its medications, those folks sold out of Eli Lilly stock to push it to a nearly 2% loss on Tuesday.
That rival is Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, best-known for its Wegovy obesity treatment that directly competes with Eli Lilly's Zepbound. Early Tuesday morning, Novo Nordisk announced a set of price cuts to its leading products, including Wegovy.
