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.

TOP PICK
He's bought and sold this at $43. They're Upjohn division is merging with Mylan and will spin it out. This will likely lead to the stock returning to the mid-$40's (Analysts’ price target is $42.75)
TOP PICK
It has long term support levels. At a great spot, and it is consolidating well. Would take advantage of the pullback here. The risk is to go up not down.
DON'T BUY

He would not buy it at this point. They recently agreed to by Mylan and with Teva have been challenged on pricing of their generic drugs. It has grown through cost cutting. Revenue growth is muted at best.

DON'T BUY
The US healthcare system is under attack by politicians until the election. Trump wants to put them out of business, so why mess with this space? Patent expirations are another hurdle.
DON'T BUY

The PFE-N non-patent drugs will be dilutive for earnings in the short term. She prefers either JNJ-N or ABT-N

WATCH
They were badly hit with the end of patent protection on several of their drugs. Viagara is coming up for expiry as well. He does not own it. It is a well run company and he continue to expect the dividend to grow as well. They announced an entry into the generic drug space, which may be confusing investors right now. He would hold off for a while.
BUY

Pfizer vs. Merck He owns both, which both score well in price momentum, high ROE, great balance sheet, pay a sustianble yield and are stable stocks. Merck has slightly better valuation metrics, but both stocks are very similar.

HOLD
It's a machine that makes acquisitions which generate revenues worldwide. However, they lack growth and a presence in oncology though they recenly made an aquisition that can help growth. Expect modest growth, but limited downside too if a clinical trial fails. Good dividend and balance sheet. Good to hol.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 11/19, Up 2%) It's holding. Thought we'd get a nice bounce, but it's treading water. It's more of a protection play, you don't need to jump in right away.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It is the Bell Canada of the business. He just sold at 42-43. At 38-39 it is a safe buy. The largest in the sector. Don't have a lot of product coming off patents.
HOLD
A successful drug company that has made many acquisitions that have led to good value and promising drugs. Healthcare stocks are under pressure in general as the Trump Administration is threatening to bring down drug costs. He thinks this will end and you will make good money holding.
HOLD
A long-term play. Low EPS growth of about 3.5-4%. Very large company. Don't have a lot of drugs that have exposure over 10%, except Prevnar. Not his favourite growth position. Diversity of assets. Need to do some M&A. Stable dividend. Only paying 15x. You can hold on to this.
WATCH
A quality company that pays a good dividend. Look at it now during negative sentiment due to political pressure in America over high drug prices. Be cautious near-term, but do your homework on this now.
WEAK BUY
Healthcare in general has outperformed in every bear market. A lot of it comes from large cap pharma companies. He prefers LLY-N. But there is no question that this one is interesting and has good management.
COMMENT
It is a safe dividend play. He looks at total return so dividends are important but recommends you don’t get caught in a dividend trap where there is capital at risk. A lot of dividend payers have moved their valuations to historical high levels. You have to be careful.
