How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: LLY is currently trading at $1037.15, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $1043.05 to $1085.58. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 30.8) is in line with its historical norms (32.4). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 1.7% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 480.4% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.

Technical Outlook: Technically, LLY is in a strong uptrend. Immediate support is located at $1004.14, while resistance sits at $1095.48.

Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $1133.93 (+10.7%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
