"The data likely validates Street thinking that tirzepatide will become a dominant player in the obesity market," Wells Fargo analyst Mohit Bansal said in a note, adding that he expects about $4 billion in peak sales.In the first quarter, sales of blockbuster diabetes drug Trulicity rose 20% and immunology drug Taltz gained 21% on strong demand despite pricing pressures.
The drugmaker is banking on its new pipeline of assets as many of its established drugs are facing patent loss. It now expects full-year adjusted earnings of between $8.15 and $8.30 per share, compared with its prior forecast of $8.50 to $8.65 per share.
