This summary was created by AI, based on 23 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc (PFE) is currently navigating a challenging landscape post-COVID, grappling with the loss of patent exclusivity on several of its major drugs. Analysts express a mix of cautious optimism and concern about the company's ability to develop new blockbuster drugs to replenish its pipeline. The consensus highlights a generous dividend yield, typically around 6-8%, which appeals to income-focused investors. However, there's significant uncertainty regarding growth, with many experts pointing to the company's recently acquired drugs and strategic focus on obesity and oncology as potential avenues for future success. Overall, while the stock is deemed undervalued based on its low price-to-earnings ratio, the lack of immediate catalysts for growth and dependency on dividends reflect a complex investment landscape.

HOLD
Has been a long-term sufferer. Product outlook is much better since the merger. They have started to increase their dividend again. This is a dividend stock with some upside potential.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute) Doesn’t buy US stocks.
DON'T BUY
Pharma model, i.e. spending a boatload of money developing drugs and getting it into market, is really stumbling. Then the clock starts ticking with generics coming in down the road. Lipitor expires next year.
DON'T BUY
Their big drug Lipitor comes off patent next year, which will be a lot of revenue that will be difficult to replace. Have an “OK” pipeline. Because of their size, it takes a huge blockbuster drug to turn the needle to a positive direction.
HOLD
$2 in annualized earnings. Very cheap stock. Doesn't have the growth that it used to. Have global growth and is a beneficiary of the decline in the US$.
BUY
Like it for its dividend of about 4.1%. Very high cash flow. Have diversified their product line with the acquisition of Wyeth.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute) If it came down a little bit be would be much more interested.
DON'T BUY
Great company with a great yield and trading at a very low multiple. Pharmaceutical industry made so much money on their blockbuster drugs but that dried up. This company has made some good acquisitions and are continuing to cut costs. Pipeline is reasonable but you're not going to see the big blockbuster drugs in the next several years.
DON'T BUY
Wouldn't own any US pharmaceutical companies. Research pipeline cupboard is really bare. Doesn't see any growth. A lot of generic competition.
DON'T BUY
Pfizer (PFE-N) and Merck (MRK-N) are pretty fully priced at current levels. Growth prospects are not that great, especially with a lot of drugs coming off patent. Multiple looks attractive and dividend looks okay but there are better places to go in pharmaceuticals. Prefers Abbott Labs (ABT-N).
SELL
One of the mega pharmas that is having trouble getting traction because it is so large. They have a problem with one of their large drugs (25% of business) coming off patent within the next year. He would look elsewhere. J&J, Abbot, are better picks.
TOP PICK
Model price of $29.40, a 53% positive differential.
HOLD
Just reported lower-than-expected earnings. Chart shows a strong upward trend so technically it still looks good. Usually healthcare stocks do very well from July to October.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 27/09. Up 25.12%.) Likes the outlook for drug stocks. Still a Buy.
BUY
Have their challenges with patent expiries but a huge global player with very good exposure to emerging markets. Reasonable dividend. 3.7% yield.
