Today’s Featured Research Reports
Shares of Eli Lilly and Co. have fallen -6.5% over the past year against the Zacks Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry’s decline of -12.4%. Declining sales of Trulicity, rising pricing pressure on some drugs, and potential competition in the GLP-1 diabetes/obesity market are some top-line headwinds for Eli Lilly.
However, demand for Eli Lilly’s popular GLP-1 drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound, remains strong, making them the company’s key top-line drivers. Though their sales were below expectations in the second half of 2024, they picked up in the first quarter, driven by launches of the drugs in new international markets and improved supply from ramped-up production.

Home Depot’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Retail – Home Furnishings industry over the past year (+4.4% vs. +0.3%). The company continues to benefit from its progress in building an interconnected shopping experience, synergies from the SRS acquisition, expansion of its Pro ecosystem, strategic digital investments, and new store openings. These factors contributed to robust top-line growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by increased engagement in Spring-related purchases and smaller-scale home improvement projects.
