Moderna and Eli Lilly Report Strong Q1 Results
April 2025 – U.S. Biopharma: Both Moderna and Eli Lilly have posted strong financial results for the first quarter of 2025, surpassing analyst expectations on profit and revenue.
Moderna Surpasses Expectations
Moderna reported higher-than-anticipated earnings, driven in part by ongoing global demand for its COVID-19 products and updated vaccine formulations. The company continues to invest heavily in mRNA research and development across multiple therapeutic areas, signaling confidence in long-term growth potential.
Eli Lilly Beats on Revenue but Weight-Loss Sales Disappoint
Eli Lilly also reported better-than-expected quarterly revenue and profit. The performance was largely supported by strong sales of diabetes medications and cancer treatments. However, its highly anticipated weight-loss drugs, including Mounjaro and Zepbound, fell slightly short of sales projections.
Despite this, Lilly remains optimistic about long-term demand, given the rapid global growth in the weight-loss treatment sector.
Investor Outlook
Investors responded positively to the earnings announcements, with both companies seeing modest gains in their stock prices. Analysts are watching closely for further developments in Eli Lilly’s obesity drug rollout and Moderna’s expansion beyond COVID-19 treatments.
