Jim Cramer favors Eli Lilly for strong growth over J&J and Pfizer
A caller asked whether to rotate from artificial intelligence stocks into Eli Lilly instead of Johnson & Johnson or Cardinal Health. Eli Lilly is described as having the strongest growth profile, with investors paying more for its faster growth. Fiscal 2026 revenue rose 14% to $254.2 billion and non-GAAP diluted EPS rose 37% to $11.26. Continued growth from Mounjaro and Zepbound is key, leaving the stock exposed to demand slowdowns, pricing pressure, and stronger competition.
