Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Lilly's risk profile deteriorated across multiple fronts, with Mounjaro/Zepbound concentration now at 56% of revenue and a realized formulary delisting by CVS Caremark underscoring the fragility of that concentration. Pricing pressure compounded sharply — two additional products entering Medicare price controls, expanded 340B/Medicaid exposure, and a new voluntary U.S. government pricing agreement — while enacted tariffs, pharmaceutical exemption uncertainty, and broadened geopolitical risks add a macro layer that was largely prospective a year ago. AI investment risk, intensified global competition including China, and concrete EU data-protection rollbacks round out a broad but not existential deterioration.
