Eli Lilly shares are sliding as investors react to fresh worries that its obesity-drug opportunity may be overhyped and vulnerable to rising competition and patient drop-off by 2026. The selloff is being fueled by growing unease over the stock’s lofty valuation and the rapid buildup of rivals in the GLP-1 weight-loss space.
Adding to the pressure, HSBC cut its rating on Eli Lilly from Hold to Reduce and sharply lowered its price target to $850. The bank argued that the stock is effectively “priced to perfection,” leaving little room for missteps if the obesity market fails to live up to current bullish expectations.
