Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Eli Lilly and Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Lilly’s presence across a wide range of therapeutic areas and its animal health business provide support in the face of generic competition. Lilly also expects some established products like Trajenta, Forteo and Humalog to continue doing well. Lilly expects to launch 20 new products between 2014 and 2023, including the launch of at least two new indications/line extensions on an average every year. The stock has risen this year, outperforming the return from the large cap pharma industry. However, Alimta will continue to be impacted by competition. Other headwinds include competition from immuno-oncology agents as well as loss of exclusivity for many drugs in the emerging markets. Meanwhile, the recent high-profile pipeline setbacks are an investor concern. Estimates have risen slightly ahead of the company’s Q2 release. The company has a mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. " (7/17/2017)
• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "Date and time of first dissemination: July 17, 2017, 08:17 ET Date and time of production: July 17, 2017, 08:17 ET Target Price / Valuation Methodology: Mallinckrodt plc – MNK Our discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis leads us to a price target of $87/share for MNK shares. Our DCF considers our estimates through 2027, slowing growth through 2033 and a 10% terminal decline thereafter. In addition, we expect Mallinckrodt’s margin structure to remain somewhat consistent with our 2027 estimates. We estimate a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11.4% which is in line with other companies in Mallinckrodt’s peer set due to the company’s manageable leverage and consistent cash generation potential." (7/13/2017)
• 3. UBS AG analysts commented, "We adjust our model to account for two months of reported IMS Rx data. Key growth drivers such as Trulicity and Taltz have performed better than expected while Basaglar (insulin glargine) was modestly lower than anticipated. Our overall 2017 revenues are largely unchanged as better than expected sales (largely from the Taltz and Trulicity) offset softer than expected sales of other products, and our 2017 EPS of $4.15 remain unchanged. For 2018, our revenues went up ~$70M largely driven by Taltz and we raise our EPS to $4.45 from $4.40." (3/20/2017)
