Over the last 18 months, the stock market has been incredibly generous to investors. Since January 2023, the S&P 500 has soared 45%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has rocketed by 72%.

One company that has outpaced both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq since last January is Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) . Shares of the medicine company have soared 136% since the beginning of 2023, thanks in large part to Lilly's dominance in the red-hot weight-loss space.
