Heading into today, shares of the drugmaker had gained 5% over the past month, lagging the Medical sector's gain of 7.32% and the S&P 500's gain of 7.91% in that time.

Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $6.9 billion, up 2.39% from the year-ago period.
LLY's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $8.29 per share and revenue of $29.11 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +1.59% and +2.81%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Eli Lilly. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
