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.

COMMENT

It needs a catalyst, like a new cancer formulation. Otherwise, you're just collecting that 6.75% dividend.

Unspecified

She likes the space but people are not investing in it. It has a low valuation and is tempting but she prefers elsewhere. It is a global leader in a crowded field. She sees 5% growth so there is some upside.

DON'T BUY

He owned it but sold. Free cash flow is not abundant and it has a lot of debt. It will take time to turn around but pays a good dividend.

BUY

Pays a 7% dividend. Something good must be coming out of their Seagen acquisition. The pipeline looks promising.

WATCH

Once upon a time, he really liked it. Beaten up for inability to bring forward a weight-loss drug; that may or may not be a realistic critique of this stock long term. Analyst community is really...just...waiting. He sold last year, not ready to come back in. Solid company, an improved oncology pipeline might be a reason to get back in.

BUY

It can bottom here. He believes in their Seagen acquisition.

BUY

Hangover from its Covid highs. Working on an obesity pill, but pulled back on it. Opportunities in the pipeline. Owned in his income growth portfolio for the yield. Despite the chart, likes it here. Fairly cheap, hopefully hitting a bottom (knock wood).

BUY

Failure in a couple of drugs. Huge research program; they will find new drugs. Outstanding stock to accumulate because, at some point, they're going to announce a new drug and the stock will pop. Yield is close to 7-8%.

DON'T BUY

Thinks dividend is safe, but may be challenged. Spent billions on acquisitions, but hasn't gained much. Not growing. Any boost to bottom line comes from cost cuts. Downhill since Covid, pipeline not strong. Better opportunities in the pharma space, such as MRK. 

HOLD

You'd have thought they'd be hit more by tariffs, as Trump hammers on that many drug components are made overseas. So the market must be thinking tariffs will benefit pharma, to explain why this name is up on such a tremendously down day. Keeping people guessing and on a knife's edge isn't a bug of the current US administration, it's a feature.

His healthcare investments focus on health management like UNH and medical devices.

DON'T BUY

It's cheap, but for a reason. Sees no growth, despite a big acquisition. Consider Merck or Amgen for perhaps more growth.

WATCH

It reports Tuesday. Their anti-cancer drugs still haven't broken up to justify the cost of acquiring them. Good news would pop shares up. Little downside now.

DON'T BUY

It has over paid for some M&A. It is a deep value play but needs a catalyst. It has had some management change but recovery is not part of their investment style. They sold about a year and a half ago.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 05/24, Down 5%)

Market's been tough on it. Investing $2B a year on R&D, made some acquisitions. Lots in the pipeline is up in the air. Stock will pop eventually back to its historical $40-45, and then he'll probably cash in. In his income fund, with the yield at 6%.

HOLD

It's too low to sell. Collect the dividend and see if we get good news about the Seagen acquisition.
