Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh says, “Fortinet is unlikely to see any big lift from its product refresh cycle amid expectations of muted services gains through 2H”- Eli Lilly (LLY) tumbled as disappointing data on its new weight-loss pill overshadowed strong growth from the company’s current obesity medicine, which helped drive it to raise its yearly profit and sales outlook. Lilly’s results from an obesity pill study, a drug key to unlocking billions of dollars of growth, didn’t perform as well as Wall Street expected. It resulted in lower weight loss and higher rates of nausea and vomiting than anticipated, side effects associated with so-called GLP-1 drugs. The data was a boon for rival Novo Nordisk. Lilly fell more than 10% when markets opened in New York on Thursday. Novo rose as much as 14.3% in Copenhagen, the most in almost four months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
