Event summary
Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are in a fierce competition for obesity drug market supremacy, with their Q1 2026 results showing divergent paths. Lilly experienced significant revenue growth and raised guidance, driven by the success of Mounjaro and Zepbound, and the FDA approval of its new oral GLP-1 pill, Foundayo. In contrast, Novo Nordisk reported a sales decline, is cutting 9,000 jobs, and faces challenges with its existing portfolio despite the launch of its own Wegovy pill.
