Jim Cramer Reconsiders Bullish Outlook on Eli Lilly Amid Market Shifts
CNBC's Jim Cramer has reversed his long-standing bullish stance on Eli Lilly (LLY), previously touted as a potential trillion-dollar stock. The shift comes amid changing macroeconomic conditions and sector-specific headwinds.
Cramer's revised position highlights the challenges facing pharmaceutical stocks during Federal Reserve rate cuts. "You're not supposed to buy drug stocks when the Fed is cutting," he noted on 'Mad Money,' underscoring the sector's sensitivity to monetary policy shifts.
The analyst had championed Lilly's weight-loss drug pipeline as a market differentiator, but now cites political uncertainty and valuation concerns. This reevaluation reflects broader market volatility that often drives capital toward alternative assets like cryptocurrencies during periods of traditional market uncertainty.
