Alternative ways to invest in Eli Lilly and Company
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Eli Lilly and Company), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Eli Lilly and Company is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Eli Lilly and Company under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Eli Lilly and Company P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Eli Lilly and Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 109x. In other words, Eli Lilly and Company's shares trade at around 109x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Eli Lilly and Company's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Johnson-and-Johnson (JNJ.US): 24.38
- Merck-and-Company (MRK.US): 20.33
- AbbVie (ABBV.US): 65.37
Eli Lilly and Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8297. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Eli Lilly and Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Eli Lilly and Company's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Johnson-and-Johnson (JNJ.US): 0.95
- Merck-and-Company (MRK.US): 0.07
- AbbVie (ABBV.US): 0.48
Eli Lilly and Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $15.5 billion (£11.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Eli Lilly and Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Johnson-and-Johnson (JNJ.US): USD$31 billion
- Merck-and-Company (MRK.US): USD$23.6 billion
- AbbVie (ABBV.US): USD$26.1 billion
