    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=42Rbej_0uaUvIvI00 Since the start of 2020, Eli Lilly’s ( NYSE: LLY ) stock price chart has been straight up and to the right, up 555.96% and currently trading at $867.25.

    The company has been around since 1876 and the stock didn’t go public until 1952 but in the last 4 years, Eli Lilly went from a $100 billion market capitalization to $740 billion today, which also makes it a potential stock split stock.

    But as investors,  we care about the stock price years down the line, what Eli Lilly will do in the next 3 to 5 years and beyond.

    That is why 24/7 Wall Street looks at projected revenue and net income to give you our best estimate of future stock prices from 2025 to 2030.

    Other “experts” look at past growth rates and assign future stock prices off those past numbers. However we will walk you through our assumptions and give you the key drivers we see propelling Eli Lilly stock in the future.

    Eli Lilly’s Recent Stock Success

    How did Eli Lilly’ stock price soar so much in the past few years? Lets take a look at the numbers:

    Share Price Revenues* Net Income*
    2016 $80.36 $21.22 $2.74
    2017 $77.55 $19.94 ($0.21)
    2018 $122.13 $21.49 $3.23
    2019 $140.83 $22.32 $8.32
    2020 $206.46 $24.54 $6.19
    2021 $238.31 $28.32 $5.58
    2022 329.07 $28.54 $6.25
    2023 $745.91 $34.12 $5.24

    *Revenue and Net Income in Billions

    Since 2016, Eli Lilly’s revenue grew 60% but income grew by 91%. Typically you wouldn't expect a company growing at its top line by 7% annually to see a 828% increase in share price, however investor sentiment for the next line of drugs front ran the stock price.

    For example, in 2016 Eli Lilly was trading 13 times the trailing 12 months earnings and the market has increased its valuation each year and currently trades at a 125 times earnings multiple.

    This raises the valid question, is Eli Lilly overvalued or will future revenues make up for the expensive valuation?

    3 Key Drivers of Eli Lilly Stock
    1. Innovated Drug Pipeline : The current drug pipeline is loaded with several very high potential drugs in development. Mounjaro, Zepbound and Jardiance in the cardiometabolic category, Taltz in immunology and Verzenio in oncology are the future of Eli Lilly’s growth. While the aforementioned are the safer bets, the company has a handful of other drugs that could hold blockbuster potential.
    2. Strategic Acquisitions :  The acquisition of Morphic, with its promising drug candidate MORF-057, is a testament to Lilly's strategic vision. This drug, if successful in late-stage trials, could become a major success in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Lilly's focus on acquiring mid-sized companies (13 since 2020) with promising pipelines has bolstered its own research and development efforts, positioning it well for future growth.
    3. Operational Efficiency: With a sound balance sheet, Eli Lilly should continue to improve operational efficiency and manage costs to have net income growth rates above revenue growth.
