Citi Is Bullish On This Large Pharma Stock On Upcoming Data Readout From Diabetes Candidate - Roche Holding (OTC:RHHBF), Roche Holding (OTC:RHHVF), Roche Holding (OTC:RHHBY)

Citi has increased peak risk-adjusted Eli Lilly And Co's LLY tirzepatide forecasts (diabetes/ obesity/NASH) to more than $25 billion (previously $15 billion, consensus of around $16 billion).
The analyst says that the ongoing feedback from physicians/payers continues to boost the optimism for broader access, reimbursement, and adoption amid the previously unforeseen glucose and weight-lowering properties.
Citi increased the price target to $370 from $285 with a Buy rating.
