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

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is currently facing significant challenges, primarily due to a patent cliff and a lack of earnings momentum following the COVID-19 pandemic. Many experts express concerns over its drug pipeline, indicating that the company is in need of a blockbuster drug to drive future growth. While it maintains an attractive dividend yield—ranging from 6.4% to 7%—there is skepticism about the sustainability of this yield if new profitable drugs are not developed soon. The stock’s valuation is seen as low, trading at around 8-10 times earnings, which some experts believe might make it appealing for patient investors. However, the consensus also points to caution due to the industry-wide challenges, including cost-cutting measures and potential government pressure on drug pricing.

NVO
DON'T BUY
Pharmaceutical space is tough. Lipitor is a drug that is going off-patent which will reduce their income.
BUY
The 3 sectors hated sectors in the US are financials, healthcare and technology. They have done a lot of smart things recently. They increased the dividend and announced a share buyback. Valuation is quite cheap and he is looking at this one.
HOLD
A good space. Defensive name. Prefers JNJ. Seeing higher lows this year. Could come down to a higher low. Ranked 5th on his list. Would hold it.
SELL
The whole pharma business is challenged. PFE is predicting lower revenues next year. Management is talking about breaking up the company. With Lipitor patent expiring, he would just sell it.
DON'T BUY
Suffering from loosing their patent on lipitor. Will be a pullback on earnings. Trying to reassess their businesses and potentially spinning some off. Not a big fan of large cap Pharma. Prefers diversified health care companies like Abbot.
TOP PICK
Debt rating cut but it doesn’t matter to him. They all have the patent cliff. He likes that they bought Wyeth who have a lot of drugs on patent. People say PFE is too big to make a difference if a new drug comes along so they are shrinking the company. Big, safe dividends.
DON'T BUY
Lipitor is coming off patent and accounts for a boat 20% of their revenues. Sales are expected to drop about 5% next year.
WEAK BUY
Largest drug company in the world. Good pipeline, but they have been paring it down to focus on new drugs. Prefers Teva.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
This would be his 2nd choice after Eli Lilly (LLY-N). Facing the issue of a patent cliff where drugs are coming off patent. Has about 4 drugs expecting to move into phase 3 trials. Very attractive multiple. Good dividend yield.
HOLD
Largest global pharma. Likes it. Whole pharma sector has been suffering from a lack of new block buster drugs. This one is facing the expiration of the patent on their Lipitor drug but this is already reflected in the stock price. Have some very promising drugs in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. Stock is not expensive and has a 4% yield.
DON'T BUY
Has done well lately on the potential of it breaking up and selling off the pieces. The difficulty in the whole pharma sector is that it is tough to grow.
BUY
Likes this one especially because they have announced they are going to downsize the company and shareholders will be rewarded for that. Selling a capsule manufacturing company for $2.5 billion.
DON'T BUY
Drug sector is all suffering from same thing – drugs coming off patent faster than entering the pipeline. Are trying to rebuild themselves. They are all trying to get their costs down.
BUY
Thinks it is turning around. Very good yield. Have a difficult time with some of the blockbuster drugs coming off patent.
COMMENT
Are breaking themselves up after a string of acquisitions. He sees this happening. Want to get rid of their generics.
