This summary was created by AI, based on 31 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc (PFE) is facing significant challenges stemming from a patent cliff, leading to concerns about its drug pipeline and growth prospects in the coming years. Analysts emphasize the company's attractive dividend yield, which hovers around 6-7%, making it appealing for income-focused investors. However, many reviews suggest that the lack of earnings momentum and the need for new blockbuster drugs remain critical issues. Despite a robust pipeline and recent acquisitions, the absence of immediate catalysts for growth has left investors cautious. Overall, while Pfizer provides a decent dividend, its future performance hinges on successful drug development and navigating market sentiment around healthcare reforms.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 24/20, Up 28.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PFE has triggered its stop at $46. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 23%, when combined with the previous recommendation to cover half.
HOLD
Suffered recently a bit, as shine from Covid has worn off. Great defensive growth name. Likes healthcare in general. Don't sell it to buy LLY, but nothing against LLY. Trades at 6x forward earnings. Great cardio drug that could be a gamechanger, strong pipeline. Yield is 3.5%.
HOLD
Has recently sold shares in company. Long term, pandemics will remain a fact of life. Has good pipeline of new drugs being developed.
TOP PICK
R&D has become much more concentrated. Cashflow windfall being used to expand pipeline. CEO has done exceptional job navigating the vaccine environment. Tuck-in acquisitions. Executing well, deserves the multiple bump. Yield is 3%. (Analysts’ price target is $58.53)

1550+ opinions with 4.81 rating (one of the best performing expert).

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 24/20, Up 51.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PFE is progressing well. We now recommend tailing up the stop (from $42) to $46.
TOP PICK
One of the world's largest biopharma companies. Expected revenue of 97B USD this year. Likes it because of its rapidly improving pipeline, especially the cardio drug. Vaccine will produce cashflow windfalls over the near term, plus lots of runway. Continuing shots needed, anti-viral pill will be in high demand. Good valuation. Yield is 2.86%, expected to grow. (Analysts’ price target is $56.61)
SELL
Leadership position in vaccine fight. If you invest here, and pandemic goes away, PFE's fortunes could regress to the mean. It won't have the wind at its back anymore. The uncertainty makes him pass.
DON'T BUY
He stays away from drug companies, always forced to do acquisitions. Costly and competitive business. Pressures from government. Boost from pandemic, and this will continue. Reasonable valuation. He prefers medical devices, where you don't need a PhD to understand what's coming next. Attractive yield about 3%.
BUY
Among the vaccine stocks, he feels safe with this. They're coming out with their Covid pill treatment.
HOLD
Don't sell. Incredibly low valuation. Well positioned, well diversified. Established distribution network. Great long-term growth story over time.
COMMENT
They face a patent cliff in 2022, so will the Covid booster cover this? They report Tuesday.
DON'T BUY
Has tended to peak out at 4x book value, around $50. Vaccine potential has petered out. FMV potential is 55% higher than current price. More likely to have a further setback, with $37-38 as his downside target. The stock's already given at the office and it's not prepared to give at home.
BUY
All healthcare stocks have been pressured. PFE is protected by their near-4% dividend. We will all need their Covid booster shot.
WEAK BUY
The performance has been disappointing. The problem with big, old pharma is that it is not enough to move the needle. He thinks it is a good one to put away. They are a little constrained on the new product side. He'd suggest an ETF of biotech companies.
BUY
Great dividend yield, not trading at a high multiple. Not a pure play. Covid vaccine issue will continue for years to come. Likes healthcare, but it tends to come up as a US political issue. A great story here. He owns JNJ instead.
