The CEO's own framing, priced. Growth continues AND the company keeps spending into it - new manufacturing capacity, and pipeline bought through business development rather than harvested. In model terms that is trend growth 0.6 points a quarter above base with 2.5 points less margin, because the acquired in-process R&D charge that funds the pipeline is a permanent cost rather than the one-off it is presented as. It is worth more than base and less than bull, and it is the only case here in which faster growth costs something.

Tirzepatide - Mounjaro and Zepbound - plus the legacy diabetes base and the first quarter of oral orforglipron (Foundayo). At $18,353M it was 79.9% of 2026 Q2 revenue and grew 61.8% year over year while the other four areas together grew 8.2%. Lilly publishes no prescriptions, doses or patients by therapeutic area, so a growth driver on the disclosed revenue line is the only shape the disclosure supports.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Seasonality [0.938, 1.038, 1.000, 1.027] is the brief's OLS of log revenue on a time trend plus calendar-quarter dummies over 2024 Q1-2026 Q2, re-centred to mean 1.0. Read it as 'Q1 about 6% below trend, Q4 about 3% above': the CFO named both mechanisms on the call, European Q3 holidays and US type 2 diabetes Q4 seasonality. The Q2 factor is the least reliable, moving 0.053 between the two eight-quarter windows against a 0.038 deviation from 1.0.
  • With seasonality on, growthQoQ is a deseasonalised trend rate and not the sequential print. The model's first two projected quarters for this line are $17,964M and $18,975M, which is +36.3% and +30.9% year over year against the reported $13,177.9M of 2025 Q3 and $14,492.1M of 2025 Q4.
  • Foundayo (orforglipron) booked $98M in 2026 Q2, its first partial quarter, and is reported inside this line in the 10-Q disaggregation. It is not split out as its own vertical because doing so would require inventing nine quarters of history it does not have.
  • Trulicity is in structural decline - FY2023 $7,132M, FY2024 $5,254M, FY2025 $4,276M - and is being cannibalised by Mounjaro from inside the same line.
