On June 30, Eli Lilly declined 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $1,191.36/share, with turnover of $794 million. The pullback follows the stock surging to an all-time high of $1,238 in the prior session, after rallying over 7% on the back of its leukemia drug Jaypirca receiving a positive recommendation from the EU CHMP for full-line CLL treatment.
The broader pharmaceutical sector traded uniformly weaker on the session, with Johnson & Johnson down 1.86%, Merck down 1.86%, Bristol-Myers Squibb down 2.05%, Pfizer down 1.50%, and Novo Nordisk down 0.87%. Eli Lilly's decline outpaced sector peers despite positive developments including a China distribution agreement with Innovent Biologics for breast cancer drug Verzenios and selection for an FDA pilot program aimed at accelerating new manufacturing facility approvals.
