This summary was created by AI, based on 24 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is facing significant challenges as it navigates a patent cliff following the success of its COVID-19 vaccine. Many experts are concerned about its ability to generate new blockbuster drugs and the sustainability of its high dividend yields, which currently range from 6.4% to 7%. Several reviews emphasize that while the dividend is attractive, the company lacks earnings momentum and has uncertainty surrounding its drug pipeline. The stock trades at low earnings multiples, suggesting it may be undervalued, but experts warn that the lack of growth drivers could limit upside potential. Overall, patience may be required for investors looking for signs of recovery or growth in the company's future, especially as its recent acquisitions are yet to yield significant results.

MRK
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It's been downgraded and shares have gone down. It's cheap enough now. Buy some now and buy more if the dividend rises back to 4% (at 3.6% now). Their pipeline looks promising.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 12/22, Down 15%) 11x forward PE. Outperforming S&P since early 2021. Healthy drug pipeline. Still sees 30B USD in sales for Covid vaccines and treatment. Defensive and steady growth. Weak relative to market in January, an opportunity. Yield is 3.5%.
BUY
Monday they hold an analysts meeting to discuss their drug pipeline. Their biggest problem is that the street thinks there isn't much more to this company than its Covid franchise. Untrue! They've made enough acquisitions and invested in their pipeline to keep making new drugs.
HOLD
Sell PFE to buy MRK? Likes and owns them both. MRK is more in the immuno oncology and cancer space, whereas PFE is more diversified. Defensive and growth characteristics. MRK hit a new high today. PFE hasn't done as well, but has performed over the last 2 years. Own both for different reasons. May want to trim in early part of next cycle. Yield is 3.3%.
BUY
It has always been part of their health care portfolio. It is losing some lustre and interest created by Covid but is still a good health care company with a good dividend. He likes others as well, maybe a bit better.
HOLD
When you're looking at pharma companies, you want to see the breadth of drugs that are in the pipeline, and any blockbuster drugs in there. You're also looking for dividends. Yield is 3.4%.
BUY
PFE vs. JNJ Coin flip. Both are stable for the long run. PFE is slightly cheaper right now.
SELL
Always a wall of worry around drug pricing, but rarely does it have a large impact. He sold this name after record revenues from vaccine news. He likes AZN, which is getting approval after approval. Another one is LLY, focusing on its diabetes and weight loss drug.
BUY
Healthcare is his biggest sector. HC is seeing the classic shift to defensives as inflation peaks. Also, HC trades at only 18x while utilities and staples trade at 21x, so it's the cheapest defensive. He owns Pfizer, UNH and Regeneron.
DON'T BUY
The entire drug sector hasn't been investable since the 1990s, because governments control drug prices and patent expiries. Pfizer is struggling to replace drugs coming off patent, like their cholesterol drug. It's really tough. It's a defensive sector, so the drug companies will hold up better and offer dividend growth.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 19/22, Down 3.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PFE has triggered its stop at $48. To remain disciplined we recommend covering the position at this time.
DON'T BUY
Results highly influenced by Covid vaccine. Earnings might be stagnant going forward. His choice is MRK, reasonable and sustainable multiple of 12x and very good dividend. MRK's major drug is patent-protected until at least 2026, plus great drugs in pipeline.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 19/22, Up 9.7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PFE is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $42) to $48.
BUY
Diversified business, gold standard. PFE is making acquisitions, building out the pipeline from Covid cashflow wins. Good mRNA franchise, benefits of diversity, plus management team executing on pipeline of acquisitions.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 28/20, Up 45%) A defensive. Back then, they were working on the vaccine and luckily theirs was the most effective. He trimmed at $55, but still likes and holds it. The company has in the past struggled to build a pipeline of drugs. This morning they announced they will buy a company that treats migraines. They're spending $11 billion on their pipeline, which is promising. They earned $25 billion revenues in vaccines in 2021. Pays a great dividend. Remains a core holding.
