Barclays Hikes LLY Price Target to $1,400 on Tirzepatide Momentum, Reiterates Overweight Rating (May 5)

Barclays analyst Emily Field raised her price target on Eli Lilly to $1,400 from $1,350 May 5 and reiterated an Overweight rating, citing tirzepatide momentum continuing to outpace the GLP-1 class and easing concerns around the Foundayo launch trajectory. LLY stock had recovered roughly 11% off the May 4 Foundayo FAERS-driven dip to about $966 by mid-week. Barclays simultaneously trimmed its 2026 Foundayo revenue estimate to approximately $1B (vs. ~$1.4B consensus) on the early IQVIA gap to Wegovy pill, but the higher headline target reflects confidence that Mounjaro and Zepbound's volume growth more than absorbs Foundayo's slower start.

Cantor Fitzgerald Lifts LLY Price Target to $1,230 and BofA to $1,294 Following Q1 Beat and Foundayo FAERS Recovery

Multiple Wall Street firms raised LLY price targets in the May 5–6 window. Cantor Fitzgerald lifted its target to $1,230, BofA to $1,294, and the broader analyst consensus by 19 firms now sits at $1,228 (24.15% upside over 12 months) per the May 6 update, with a Buy consensus rating. The driver: tirzepatide's Q1 +125% global growth, the Mounjaro/Zepbound volume re-rating, the May 1 stock recovery from the Foundayo hepatic-failure FAERS report, and Lilly's response that no DILI signal exists across the 11,000-patient ACHIEVE+ATTAIN program. RBC Capital framed the FAERS event as 'baseline noise.'
