About
Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in antiviral medicines, oncology, and inflammatory diseases, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Foster City, California, trading on Nasdaq (GILD). The company reported approximately $28.6 billion in total revenues for FY2024 under CEO Daniel O'Day, driven by the world's leading HIV treatment franchise anchored by Biktarvy—the world's best-selling antiretroviral therapy with over $14 billion in annual global sales—along with Veklury (remdesivir) for COVID-19 treatment, and a growing oncology portfolio including Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan, an ADC for breast and bladder cancer), Yescarta, and Tecartus (CAR-T cell therapies). Gilead's 2024 HIV prevention breakthrough—lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injection preventing HIV infection with near-100% efficacy in large clinical trials—represents potentially the most important HIV prevention advance since the development of daily oral PrEP.

About
Eli Lilly and Company is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based global pharmaceutical company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: LLY) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — discovering, developing, and commercializing medicines across diabetes, obesity, oncology, immunology, and neuroscience through approximately 43,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024, Eli Lilly reported revenues of $45.1 billion (+32% year-over-year) — driven by the historic commercial launch of Mounjaro (tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes, $11.4B revenue) and Zepbound (tirzepatide for obesity and obstructive sleep apnea, $4.9B revenue) — making Eli Lilly one of the fastest-growing large pharmaceutical companies in history and elevating its market capitalization above $700 billion at peak 2024 valuation, briefly making Lilly the most valuable healthcare company globally. CEO Dave Ricks' strategic investment in tirzepatide manufacturing capacity — committing $18+ billion to new US manufacturing sites in Indiana, Wisconsin, and North Carolina — reflects Lilly's execution of unprecedented pharmaceutical demand that has consistently outpaced supply since Mounjaro's 2022 approval and Zepbound's 2023 FDA approval for obesity. The GLP-1/GIP dual agonist mechanism (tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP incretin receptors, versus semaglutide's single GLP-1 activation) produces superior efficacy results — SURMOUNT-1 trial showing 22.5% average body weight loss with tirzepatide versus 15% with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) — establishing tirzepatide as the most effective approved obesity pharmacotherapy.
