This summary was created by AI, based on 24 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) has faced challenges following its prominent role during the Covid-19 pandemic, with many experts pointing out the looming patent cliffs and the need for new blockbuster drugs to sustain growth. The company is heavily reliant on its dividends, offering yields between 6% to 8%, which many investors find attractive in a low growth environment. While some view it as a value play due to its low price-to-earnings ratio, others express concerns that it may be a value trap due to uncertain growth prospects. The overall sentiment reflects a cautious approach, favoring the dividend payout amidst worries about drug pipeline sustainability and the impact of recent acquisitions on its future performance.

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.
DON'T BUY
Lost its ability to grow because of its size. Lipitor represents 20% and it goes off patent next year so they’ll be competing with generics.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 16/09, Down 5%) Drug stocks have been out of favour. Drug stocks bottomed earlier this year. Have a number of drugs coming off patent. Dividend investors have identified drug companies as targets.
BUY
(Top Pick Nov 30/09, Down 4.77%) $28.23 model price. 64% upside. He keeps on buying it. Held for 4 years in his fund. There is value there and major consolidation going on there. It’s a changing landscape – they are getting together with generics.
