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.

COMMENT
They report Tuesday. They've made a lot of money during the pandemic. He hopes they buy another drug company to make up for looming patent explorations in the coming years. Shares were crushed today. Good yield and trades at 6x earnings, though.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PFE has a long pipeline of new drugs focusing on oncology, rare diseases and vaccines, generating over $50 billion in annual sales. It trades at 13x earnings compared to peers at 20x. Latest reported earnings beat expectations by 27% and supports a ROE over 34%. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cashflow. It is managing its cash reserves conservatively, maintaining a good war chest, while still retiring debt. We would recommend a stop loss at $42.00, looking to achieve $60.50 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 3.0% (Analysts’ price target is $60.47)
DON'T BUY
Has done extremely well with Covid solutions. Not inexpensive for its growth rate. A concern for the stock, though not for humanity, is this opportunity will exhaust itself. Not a bad name if Covid will be a chronic situation. All pharma races the patent clock. He'd prefer MRK.
HOLD
Value and price momentum score well. High ROE, 13x price to earnings. Healthy yield of 3%, very reasonable payout ratio. You can own it through the cycles.

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)

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.
