Lilly Obesity Drugs Lag Wegovy in Early Prescription Data, Weighing on Stock
Premarket, Eli Lilly shares fell after IQVIA data cited by Bloomberg showed Lilly’s obesity drugs Foundayo (oral) and Zepbound trailed Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy in weekly prescriptions; Zepbound fell about 2% week over week while Wegovy rose about 7% in the same period, and Foundayo posted 3,707 prescriptions in its first full week versus Wegovy’s roughly 18,410 in its first full week; analysts caution that one week of data isn’t definitive, but weak early momentum could pressure Lilly stock if the trend persists.
