Factual Economics and markets

“You don't buy the stock of Lilly here — the stock jumped nearly 15% yesterday, for heaven's sake.”

Jim Cramer, CNBC host 9 August 2023 Cramer says investors need to buy stock before its big move, not after (CNBC)

Eli Lilly's stock jumped nearly 15% on the trading day before 2023-08-09.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

What would count as true or false

Judge Eli Lilly's (LLY) close-to-close percentage change on 2023-08-08, the trading day before 2023-08-09. True: a gain of about 13.5% to 15.5%. Mostly true: a gain of 12% to under 13.5%, or above 15.5% up to 17%, or the gain was about 15% but on a different nearby day. Mostly false: a gain of 8% to under 12%, or above 17%. False: a gain under 8%, or a decline.

Evidence

  1. Lilly (Eli) (LLY) — Earnings History & Price Movement wsfriend.com
    “Its largest post-earnings gain was +14.87% (Aug 08, 2023) and its largest decline was -14.14% (Aug 07, 2025).”
  2. Lilly market value soars on higher sales, obesity drug potential BioPharma Dive · 8 August 2023
    “Shares jumped 15% on second quarter earnings that showed the company’s revenue rose by 28%, driven by fast sales of its diabetes medicine Mounjaro.”
  3. Eli Lilly Soars on Blockbuster Q2 Earnings: ETFs to Tap Zacks Investment Research (via TradingView) · 9 August 2023
    “The stock soared 15% to heights not seen since the early 2000s, adding $64 billion to its market cap.”

Reasoning

E1 records Eli Lilly's largest post-earnings gain as +14.87% on Aug 08, 2023. That falls within the 13.5%–15.5% range the criteria set for a true verdict. E2 (dated 2023-08-08) and E3 (dated 2023-08-09) are both independent, and each reports that the shares jumped or soared about 15% on second-quarter earnings. Together the three sources show a gain of nearly 15% on 2023-08-08.
