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.

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.
TOP PICK
New CEO is changing the company compared to the other pharmas. R&D has been a big pit for all companies and he is cutting this back. Will be basically be cutting the company into smaller parts.
DON'T BUY
Not keen on the big pharma complex at this stage. This one in particular has had struggles with their pipeline. There are better ways to play the health care space.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 3/10. Down 0.29%.) Model price is $29.91, an upside of 62%. Good dividend. His earnings estimate shows $2.22. Still a Buy.
COMMENT
A lot of the pharmaceuticals have been in the doldrums for a long time. Large dividend yield and cheap on a PE basis but their large blockbuster drugs are coming off patent.
WEAK BUY
Coming out of the recession pharmaceuticals have not recovered to 2007 levels. Market worries about Obamacare and generics impact on branded drugs. Also worried about FDA approval process.. Also subject to litigation. Tremendous amount of cash and trading at very low multiples. Looking at this.
COMMENT
Have had a lot of issues and the CEO has left. Has been an abysmal investment over the last 5-10 years. Decent dividend. What do they do when Lipitor goes off patent mid 2011? Their acquisition of Wyeth gives them a decent stream of products. Trading at 8X earnings. Everybody hates it so maybe it’s worth looking at.
HOLD
Looked at it a couple of times. Lots of cash, good name, but he has never been able to pull the trigger. He thinks you need to let it go up a bit and increase volume, but if you own it, you get paid to wait.
DON'T BUY
Concerned with risk from generic competition to the big pharmas. Prefers Teva (TEVA-Q). The big pharmas will continue to struggle because of this.
