In contrast to the consensus predictions of $4.39 billion from VisibleAlpha and $4.89 billion from FactSet, the firm projects second-quarter Mounjaro sales of $4.49 billion. Guggenheim also predicts that Zepbound will rake in $3.10 billion in US sales in the second quarter, which is marginally more than the $2.94 billion consensus estimate.

Guggenheim’s modified model also takes into account a projected $0.14 effect on earnings per share from second-quarter IPR&D, as well as improved tirzepatide expectations based on prescription analysis.

The firm also emphasized that investors are paying close attention to net price and prescription trends for tirzepatide, as well as a number of important clinical trial readouts scheduled through the end of 2025.
