Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) are the two most valuable healthcare companies in the world. Combined, they're worth nearly $1.4 trillion. And it's conceivable that their individual valuations could top $1 trillion in the future. How they got here is no mystery; they both possess some exciting glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) drugs in their portfolios. Novo Nordisk has Ozempic and Wegovy, while Lilly has Zepbound and Mounjaro.
