    Pricing Factors

    • Superior efficacy: 24.2% weight loss justifies premium over tirzepatide (22.5%)
    • Lilly's strategy: Zepbound launched at ~$1,060 -- lower than expected; may repeat
    • Competition: Semaglutide and tirzepatide create competitive pressure
    • Insurance dynamics: Higher price with patient assistance vs lower list price
    • Market size: 100M+ Americans with obesity represent massive potential volume
