This summary was created by AI, based on 27 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is perceived as a defensive stock with an attractive dividend yield around 6-7%, appealing to income-focused investors. However, many experts express concern about the company's growth potential following a reliance on COVID-19 vaccine revenues, which have receded. The consensus indicates that while PFE maintains a low valuation (PE around 8-10x), its growth is stagnant or uncertain due to impending patent expirations and the challenges associated with developing new blockbuster drugs. Moreover, there are worries that the ongoing focus on acquisitions may not lead to the anticipated revenue boosts. Despite these concerns, some analysts suggest PFE could still perform well for patient investors, especially as sector interest begins to build. Ultimately, the outlook remains cautious, with a preference noted for other stocks in the pharmaceutical sector that exhibit better growth trajectories.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 09/19, Up 4%) He doesn't see upside in the drug space. He won't sell it, but won't add to it. This sector will be quiet as others rally. Hold.
HOLD
Dropped off with the spinoff. Very good dividend. Undervalued here because of political pressure. That's an opportunity. Healthcare companies tend to do well when the economic cycle matures. Be patient. Value stocks are emerging from their underperformance. Yield is 4%. (Analysts’ price target is $41.77)
WAIT
He liked this before, but has suffered a setback. The MFV is 37% higher than the present price. The earnings forecasts are rolling over, which worries him--it's a warning of bad things to come. He wouldn't buy this unless it fell to $30. Pays a 4% yield. Wait.
DON'T BUY

Real topline struggles over the past decade. Blockbusters go off patent and have to be replaced. Like bailing a leaky boat. You can only cut costs to make money for so long. If he had to pick one, he'd pick Merck. Their pipeline is superior to peers, and well managed. But he wouldn't own the industry at this point in the cycle.

DON'T BUY
Weak in the healthcare space. It's currently at support level, and it is entering seasonal weakness in mid-October.
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.
