7 of the Best Options for Investing $5,000 in 2025 - 4 of 7

 
 

#4 - Biopharmaceutical Stocks (NYSE:LLY)

Some tried-and-true investment advice involves skating to where the puck is going. As many investors have seen, GLP-1 drugs are clearly where the money is going. As more research is collected, patients are becoming more comfortable with these drugs as a treatment for Type-2 diabetes and, increasingly, for weight loss.  

That means that there is likely to be a long runway for companies like Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE: LLY) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO). These are the two leaders, and although more competition is coming, these two will continue to have a first-mover advantage. 

Oncology is another area showing promise for biopharmaceutical investors in 2025. While a cure remains elusive, there’s more hope than ever before. Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) is well-known for its cancer drug, Keytruda. But the company also has a deep pipeline of oncology drugs and recently purchased Daiichi Sankyo for $5.5 billion. This gives Merck the right to co-develop three of the Japanese company’s antibody-drug conjugates.
