LLY — the engine's Play of the Day, fully scored
On Thursday, June 11, 2026, LLY scored in the 99th percentile of Wall Street Analyst's 15-dimension scoring engine with a STRONG BUY signal, at $1136.26 at publication, on a suggested horizon of 1–2 weeks. The full breakdown below is the engine's actual evidence, published the day of the call and graded in public afterward.
This grade was written by the market, not by us: the Play was timestamped at publication and scored automatically against its entry price. Winners and losers both stay up — the full record lives on the track record.
LLY ranks in the 99th percentile today, driven by an elite momentum profile (87.8) sitting at the 96th percentile near its 52-week high with +16.3% over three months, and reinforced by maxed earnings momentum reflecting six consecutive beats averaging +13.4% surprise with accelerating estimates. Fundamentals back the move with 47% revenue growth, A+ profitability, and an 83% gross margin, while a MACD bullish crossover and price above key moving averages confirm the technical setup.
This is a catalyst-archetype setup with the edge concentrated in a 1–2 week window, positioned ahead of the next earnings-momentum read against an entry near $1136.26 and a tight analyst target dispersion implying roughly +10% to $1269.
A break below key moving averages or a MACD reversal would invalidate the technical leg, and given the demanding 42.5 P/E and F value grade, any earnings miss that snaps the beat streak or a stall in upward revision momentum removes the catalyst edge.
