President-elect Donald Trump has said he will give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a senior role in his incoming administration to advance his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda. Trading in pharmaceutical stocks is shaky this week and the details are few surrounding a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics">possible appointment</a>.
What To Know: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41565423/trump-says-robert-kennedy-jr-can-run-wild-on-health-and-food-im-going-to-let-him-go-wild-on-the-medi">recently said</a> he would let Kennedy &#8220;go wild on health&#8221; and could "do pretty much what he wants" in his administration, but the details remain murky.&nbsp;
Kennedy has a record of spreading falsehoods about vaccines, including that they cause autism, a theory disproven by scientific studies, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/us/politics/robert-kennedy-jr-donald-trump-health-care.html">according</a> to The New York Times. Thirteen measles outbreaks have occurred in the U.S. so far in 2024 versus four last year, and the trend coincides with lower measles vaccination rates, The Times report said, citing the CDC. Kennedy is outspoken about certain food ingredients and the state of key public health agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health.

Kennedy said in <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-win-rfk-jr-says-wont-take-away-anybodys-vaccines-rcna178955">an interview </a>Wednesday with NBC News that Trump has not yet decided what his job in the new administration will be, but he did mention the prospect of being a &#8220;White House health czar.&#8221;
Kennedy said he wouldn&#8217;t "take away anybody&#8217;s vaccines," but the uncertainty surrounding his potential impact on the country's health care regulators caused vaccine-related stocks to drop. Investors may be trying to get ahead of any negative consequences related to a potential Kennedy appointment.  
&#8220;We view the Trump win as mixed for large-cap biopharma since it creates potential uncertainty regarding Food and Drug Administration independence,&#8221; said Leerink Partners analyst David Risinger, according to Investor's Business Daily.  
Market Reaction: Big Pharma's vaccine names dipped on Wednesday with Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) ending the day down 2.78%, Pfizer, Inc.

Moderna reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41808252/moderna-q3-revenue-beats-on-updated-covid-19-vaccine-slashes-expenses-for-2024">third-quarter results</a> Thursday morning with $1.8 billion in Spikevax sales and was trading down in the late afternoon. Shares of the other vaccine makers are recovering Thursday, but the uncertainty <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704387/robert-kennedy-jr-says-he-will-advise-all-us-water-systems-to-remove-fluoride-on-day-1-of-trump-admi">may continue</a> as details emerge on a Kennedy role in the forthcoming Trump administration. 
"Shoot first reaction being felt across the vaccine complex," wrote Mizuho analyst Jared Holz, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-fed-meeting-dow-nasdaq-sp500-live-11-06-2024/card/vaccine-stocks-drop-on-worries-about-an-rfk-jr-role-dBPxZf8JJnNqL1Zi5yZY">reported </a>by the Wall Street Journal. He added that "for now, state mandates for many treatments remain intact."
MRNA, PFE, BNTX, GSK Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Moderna shares are up 2.67% at $50.42, Pfizer shares are up 0.35% at $27.44, BioNTech shares are up 1.29% at $108.02 and GSK shares are up 1.77% at $36.54 ahead of the close Thursday.

On Thursday, GSK plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) revealed new preliminary data for Arexvy (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine, Adjuvanted) in adults aged 18-49 at increased risk for lower <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41512646/new-data-for-arexvy-gsks-respiratory-syncytial-virus-vaccine-show-potential-to-help-protect-a-broa" rel="noreferrer noopener">respiratory tract disease (LRTD)</a>.
The data show that the vaccine has the potential to help protect a broader group of adults at risk from the potentially serious consequences of RSV.
In the U.S. alone, the number of adults aged 18-49 with at least one risk factor that could put them at risk for RSV disease could exceed 21 million.

The vaccine is currently approved for active immunization to prevent RSV-LRTD in adults aged 60 and older and in adults aged 50-59 at increased risk.
There are currently no RSV vaccines recommended for adults younger than 60 years of age who are at increased risk for RSV disease.
In the phase 3b trial, a single dose of the vaccine elicited robust immune responses in adults aged 18-49 at increased risk for RSV-LRTD due to certain underlying medical conditions (n=395).
The immune response was non-inferior to that observed in adults 60 and older (n=417), meeting the trial&#8217;s co-primary endpoints.
In the phase 2b trial, a single dose of the vaccine showed a robust immune response in adults aged 18 and older who are immunocompromised due to kidney or lung transplant (n=131), with a second dose (n=130) eliciting responses similar to those of healthy adults aged 50 and older who received one dose (n=125).
These immune responses were consistent for RSV-A and RSV-B subtypes in all groups (those who received 1 or 2 doses).
Earlier this week, the FDA approved Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Abrysvo (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine), the company&#8217;s bivalent RSV prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine, to prevent lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in individuals 18 through 59 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41493556/fda-approves-pfizers-respiratory-syncytial-virus-vaccine-abrysvo-for-adults-below-60-years" rel="noreferrer noopener">who are at high risk</a>.

GSK Announced New Preliminary Data For Arexvy (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine, Adjuvanted) In Adults Aged 18-49 At Increased Risk For Lower Respiratory Tract Disease., Showing The Vaccine's Potential To Help Protect A Broader Group Of Adults

On Tuesday, the FDA approved Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Abrysvo&nbsp; (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine), the company&#8217;s bivalent RSV prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine, to prevent lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in individuals 18 through 59 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41467625/u-s-fda-approves-pfizers-rsv-vaccine-abrysvo-for-adults-aged-18-to-59-at-increased-risk-for-diseas" rel="noreferrer noopener">who are at high risk</a>.
Abrysvo now offers the broadest RSV vaccine indication for adults, which previously included those 60 years and older.
Additionally, it remains the only RSV immunization approved for pregnant individuals at 32 through 36 weeks of gestation to protect infants from birth <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39672069/pfizers-rsv-vaccine-abrysvo-clears-concerns-over-preterm-birth-risk-safety-for-pregnant-women-new" rel="noreferrer noopener">up to 6 months of age</a>.
The FDA&#8217;s decision is based on inferred efficacy&nbsp;from the pivotal Phase 3&nbsp;MONeT&nbsp;study, which investigated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Abrysvo in adults at risk of RSV-associated disease due to certain chronic medical conditions.

The company intends to submit MONeT results for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and for presentation at an upcoming scientific conference.

U.S. sales of RSV vaccines from&nbsp;GSK Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) and Pfizer have declined after regulators narrowed the age group eligible for the shots and determined they would be a one-time vaccination for now.
For Pfizer and GSK, RSV vaccines are critical as they seek to build new revenue streams before facing generic competition for their top-selling drugs.
In 2023, an average of 440,000 people per week received RSV vaccines from GSK and Pfizer in September, with 65% opting for GSK's Arexvy. However, this September, the weekly average fell to 157,000.

Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) is on an impressive run after winning Food and Drug Administration approval for a new eczema drug called Ebglyss. As the company expands its reach in the diabetes, obesity, and eczema markets, is it a must-have in your healthcare portfolio? Read on to find out… 2024 has been a breakout year for Eli Lilly and Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/LLY/">LLY</a>), with its shares surging nearly 56% year-to-date. This growth is largely driven by the company's blockbuster drugs in the diabetes and obesity markets, particularly Mounjaro and Zepbound. In addition, the recent FDA approval of its eczema drug, EBGLYSS, in September has garnered significant attention.
But with these wins under its belt, does Eli Lilly remain a top healthcare stock? Let's find out.
Lilly's latest win
On September 25, LLY received FDA approval for its new eczema treatment, <a href="https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/new-data-show-lillys-ebglysstm-lebrikizumab-lbkz-provided">Ebglyss</a>. Unlike traditional topical treatments like creams or ointments, Ebglyss is an injectable designed for patients (aged 12 and older) with moderate-to-severe eczema who don't find relief with topical medications. This medication is a monthly injection that can be used on its own or alongside topical corticosteroids.
According to the company, about 16.5 million adults in the U.S. suffer from eczema, with roughly 40% experiencing severe symptoms such as cracked and bleeding skin, itchiness, and rashes. It reported that more than 80% of patients who received Ebglyss for three years were able to manage their eczema effectively.
Weight-Loss Market Expansion
Beyond dermatology, LLY continues to expand its footprint in the weight-loss market. On August 20, LLY announced that its weight-loss drug, tirzepatide, reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 94% among patients with prediabetes and obesity while also helping them lose an average of nearly 23% of their body weight.
Further, to make this weight-loss drug more accessible, LLY introduced a lower-cost version of tirzepatide under the brand name Zepbound, offering single-dose vials priced at least 50% below similar treatments on the market. This strategy could further expand its market reach and drive additional revenue growth.
Strong Financials
LLY's total revenue for the fiscal <a href="https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lilly-reports-q2-2024-financial-results-raises-full-year-revenue">second quarter</a> (ended June 30, 2024) increased 36% year-over-year to $11.30 billion, driven by the sales of its diabetes and weight-loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound. Revenue from Lily's Verzenio also saw a substantial uptick, growing by 44% year-over-year to $1.33 billion.
Its non-GAAP gross margin also increased 40% from the year-ago value to $9.27 billion, while its operating income rose 74.7% from the prior-year quarter to $7.25 billion. Moreover, the company's non-GAAP <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/netincome.asp">net income</a> and earnings per share amounted to $3.54 billion and $3.92, representing an increase of 85.9% and 85.8%, respectively.
Buoyed by this strong performance, the company increased its full-year 2024 revenue guidance by $3 billion and non-GAAP EPS forecast by $2.60 to the range of $16.10 to $16.60. LLY also plans to bolster its production of diabetes and weight-loss drugs later this year.
Rosy Annual Forecasts
The consensus revenue estimate for the current year ending December 31, 2024, stands at $46.21 billion, signaling a 35.4% year-over-year increase. Moreover, the company's EPS is anticipated to witness an impressive 111.6% uptick from the previous year, reaching $13.37.
Looking ahead, analysts anticipate a 25.7% increase in revenue for the fiscal year 2025, with projections reaching $58.08 billion. Similarly, EPS for the next year is expected to grow 71.8% from the prior year, settling at $22.98.
POWR Ratings Show Promise
LLY's strong fundamentals are reflected in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. It has an overall B rating, equating to a Buy in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated considering 118 distinct factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. LLY has a B grade for Growth, which is consistent with its strong financial performance in the last reported quarter.

Bottom Line
Beyond its success in weight management, the company is expanding its reach into areas like Alzheimer's, eczema, and even artificial intelligence. Moreover, the recent FDA approval of Ebglyss for eczema is yet another win, adding to LLY's growing portfolio of blockbuster drugs. With the global eczema market expected to <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2024/08/05/2924288/0/en/Global-Atopic-Dermatitis-Treatment-Market-to-expand-at-an-11-1-CAGR-from-2024-to-2034-totaling-USD-43-241-1-Million-Future-Market-Insights-Inc.html">more than double</a> by 2034, the company's new treatment has the potential to significantly boost revenue and keep the stock on its upward path.
Over the past year, the stock has gained 55.5% to close the last trading session at $909.15. Given this momentum, strong financials, and an optimistic outlook, we believe that adding LLY to your portfolio could be beneficial.
