Strong Buy - Price 22.90 on Nov. 6 by Wedbush Morgan Q2 results were significantly above expectations, and management raised guidance for fiscal-year 2008. ...For FY09, we [see] modest revenue-growth decline, but significant operating leverage, as the publishing/distribution mix shifts in favor of higher margins [and] owned intellectual property in a greater portion of publishing revenues.

- $37.09
Sell - Price 52.32 on Nov. 6 by Zacks Equity Research While we believe ICOS acquisition will boost...top line, as Lilly now reports 100% of Cialis sales, we believe this is already figured into the stock price. We don't believe Lilly's 14.8 times [multiple, versus] peer-group average 16.5 times, is warranted, given uncertainty over approvability of prasugrel [anti-clotting drug]. We think other names offer more attractive valuations [and] more clarity to their pipeline. Target: 48.

Hold - Price 41.93 on Nov. 6 by Sandler O'Neill Given further deterioration in the credit markets, we are expecting another sizable writedown in 4Q07, coupled with a slower assumed recovery to affected businesses [in] '08.
