Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza compared Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:LLY) to NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) in the weight loss and GLP-1 space.
What Happened: Mazza highlighted that weight loss drugs were not on anyone’s radar until recently, similar to how AI and Nvidia emerged. He emphasized Eli Lilly’s leadership and the strong earnings growth of their drugs, attributing it to the high demand and limited supply, Mazza said this in an interview with Yahoo Finance.
“Lilly is the Nvidia of the GLP-1 and weight loss space,” Mazza said.
He noted that Eli Lilly’s market performance is bolstered by their ability to consistently exceed forecasts. The company recently announced a new offering on their direct-to-consumer website, providing an injectable version of their drug at half the price, making it more accessible for those without insurance.
Mazza also pointed out that Eli Lilly’s stock has maintained a strong technical profile despite market fluctuations. He warned, however, that high valuations could pose risks if sales growth forecasts are not met, although he remains optimistic about the company’s ability to grow into its valuation.
