Here's How Much Eli Lilly's Weight-Loss Drugs Are Worth to Investors

Published July 13, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) commands a market capitalization of about $1.06 trillion, and that valuation was built largely on two drugs: Mounjaro and Zepbound.

But it's worth pinning down what these medicines actually contribute, and the company's most recent quarterly report gives a concrete answer.

In the first quarter of 2026, Mounjaro and Zepbound generated a combined $12.8 billion in revenue. That was almost two-thirds of Lilly's $19.8 billion in total revenue for the period -- a bigger share than I suspect many investors realize.
