Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is currently facing challenges following its pandemic-driven peak during which it surged due to COVID-19 vaccine sales. Experts have pointed out a lack of earnings momentum and concerns over a patent cliff, as key drugs have come off patent and the company needs to innovate to develop new blockbuster drugs. Despite these challenges, many analysts emphasize the attractive dividend yield, which remains around 6-8%. The company is pivoting towards growth areas such as obesity and oncology, and while there's a general belief that PFE is under pressure, patience from investors could yield positive results. Several insights indicate that while it may not attract immediate growth, the company’s efforts in acquisitions and drug development could eventually pay off, given time.

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.
WEAK BUY
Good quality stock that won't hurt you. Reasonable valuation, nice dividend. Bad news is everything is already built into the stock. Where's the growth past 2023? Not much upside. He'd add at $32-36, but not here at $44.
DON'T BUY
A broad company with many types of drugs. Laws in the US stipulates that after spending millions of dollar for franchises, the drug will go off patent in time. Pharmaceuticals have been doing this for a long time.
BUY
It looks good it will get FDA approval for a Covid vaccine for children. Any good news here will help PFE. He's owned this for a while. The current pullback is a buying opportunity.
BUY

Many reasons to like this including booster shots which will help shares (though Moderna will benefit more). This has pulled back a but, she likes it here. Has value.

COMMENT
The New York Times reports that the FDA will give full approval to Pfizer's Covid vaccine (for booster shots). He wouldn't rush in after-hours to buy Pfizer, because he's wary of such after-hours moves. Such trading is thin, low-volume.
BUY
It's been on a hot run. The Delta variant gives them a huge tailwind, because Washington is about to mandate Covid booster shots. Pfizer needs it, because they're about to lose the patents on some of their major drugs. Annual booster shots would give Pfizer a giant revenue stream. Shares are up 22% in the past month.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 24/20, Up 39%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PFE is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $33) to $42. If triggered this would all but guarantee a investment return over 17%, when including the previous recommendation to cover half.
DON'T BUY
Likes it under $40-$36. A bit overbought right now. A good value play and dividend player but would not chase it here. There is probably limited upside here.
BUY

Opportunity for Pfizer and J&J are solid. You give up some appreciation when you select a stock with higher yield. However, total return is the most important. There is more diversification with JNJ with medical supplies. Pfizer's partnership with BioNtech is positive. There is renewed chatter about drug price controls. Both offer good prospective.

WAIT

They report Tuesday. Despite a successful Covid drug, the stock has done nothing because they have a slew of patents about to expire. That said, it's a fine stock with good managers and a safe dividend yield. You could do a lot worse. You would wait before the report.

DON'T BUY

Not overly bullish on healthcare as a whole, as its growth may be less attractive. Likes medical devices, with a built-in backlog due to Covid. He owns SYK. There should be a significant pickup in procedures over the next 2 years. SYK has strong earnings growth, near a 1-year high. Also look at IHI, the medical devices ETF, packed with companies leading the healthcare sector.

DON'T BUY
Their vaccine has been a boon to their revenues, which jumped 30% in a one year, but this is likely a round trip. Also, margins on this vaccine are fairly low. The vaccine offers some benefit to PFE, but it's limited. Look elsewhere.
PARTIAL BUY
Price momentum and valuation has not lined up. It is a low volatility stock with good yield. Almost a bond replacement from the stable and reasonably priced business. Not the cheapest on EBITDA, cashflow or book value. Solid balance sheet.
