After its blockbuster Q1 2026 earnings report that caused shares to gain 9.8%, pharmaceutical behemoth Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) continues to rack up wins. These include a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposal that would pressure compounders, as well as strong clinical results for its oral GLP-1, Foundayo.
Now, the company is back in the news with a key development that highlights its strong position in the GLP-1 arena. Lilly has reached an agreement with CVS Health (NYSE: CVS), the owner of the nation’s largest pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), Caremark. The agreement will extend coverage of Lilly’s top GLP-1s, allowing patients to access them through their existing insurance.
