Pharmaceuticals Industry Analysis:  Eli Lilly Tops My Tier Two

I invest for long-term total return, focusing on high-quality, dividend-paying industry leaders with strong financials and consistent performance. Despite current headwinds like tariffs and patent expirations, I see long-term opportunity in pharmaceuticals, especially as AI could boost efficiency and profits. My tier-two pharma picks show solid fundamentals, but Eli Lilly stands out for its growth potential, especially in diabetes and weight loss drugs.
