Eli Lilly and Co (NYSE:LLY) Started with a Sell at Stock Traders Daily

Extra items influencing EPS make shares of Eli Lilly and Co (NYSE:LLY) look very expensive to the naked eye, with a public PE of about 30x, but even after extracting those items the PE is still over 20x.  This is expensive too, and part of the rationale for the sell rating initiated by Stock Traders Daily.

Earnings Growth is better, but it is not expected to keep pace this year, and the corresponding PEG ratio for LLY makes the stock look overvalued.

Our current macroeconomic assessments suggest that material weakness can befall US equity markets as 2016 continues as well, as that is specifically defined by our proprietary macroeconomic analysis, The Investment Rate, which identifies long term stock market and economic cycles by measuring the rate of change of new money available to be invested into domestic asset classes annually between 1900 and 2040.

The weakness we foresee in the Equity Market will cause investors to shy away from stocks that lack value, and we consider LLY to be such a stock.
