Eli Lilly's pipeline extends beyond its blockbuster weight-loss drug Zepbound, with three promising medicines poised to drive future growth: Foundayo (oral GLP-1 for weight loss), Onswik (once-weekly basal insulin for diabetes), and retatrutide (investigational triple-hormone weight-loss drug showing 28.3% average weight loss). These drugs target different patient segments and indications, positioning Eli Lilly to maintain market leadership despite increasing competition.
AbbVie, a Dividend King with 53 consecutive years of dividend increases, would require 723 shares (approximately $206,358) to generate $5,000 in annual dividends at its current price. Despite a modest 2.4% forward yield, the pharmaceutical giant's strong portfolio of blockbuster drugs, low P/E ratio of 16, and 93% stock rally over three years make it an attractive long-term income investment, even compared to higher-yielding alternatives like Pfizer.
Pfizer declared its 352nd consecutive quarterly dividend with a 5.9% yield, significantly higher than the S&P 500 average of 1%. While the company faces patent cliffs on major drugs like Eliquis and Xeljanz this year, it maintains a robust pipeline focused on cancer treatments and generated $11 billion in free cash flow over the past four quarters, exceeding dividend payments.

Management plans to restore momentum through new product launches and is leaning toward spinning off its DePuy Synthes orthopedics subsidiary by mid-2027.
