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.

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.
DON'T BUY
Loss of their Lipitor patent in 2011 (25% of revenues) is priced into the stock but this is a problem with all Pharma plays. Patent expirations is hugely punitive. (See Top Picks.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 27/09. Up 17.5%.) The world hated pharmaceutical stocks but started to like them more. All the major pharmas have patents coming off in the next 5 years. This is already built into the price. Companies have all built up big cash reserves.
BUY
Biovail is the only Canadian equivalent. He likes the industry. Concern as patents expire. Market has valued this concern into the price. Continue to generate cash flow. Prefers Merck.
TOP PICK
US healthcare stocks were ignored until recently. Recently completed its acquisition of Wyeth, which gives them a new product pipeline. 3.7% yield.
DON'T BUY
The issue here is Lipitor patents coming off in 2010 and they have to fill the product pipeline with something that is going to be a blockbuster. Question that they can use their cash horde effectively to fill the R&D pipeline, get new products to market and get their profits up. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
About the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and is continuing to climb. 3.7% dividend and they are due for an increase.
DON'T BUY
Big pharmaceutical has 3 major problems. 1) Cost of developing new drugs keeps going up and up. 2) When you do find a new drug there are chances of killing/harming people accidentally. 3) When you do find a new drug that works, the generics come after you.
SELL
(Market Call Minute) Interesting play. They’ve just done a huge deal. Corporations that do huge take-overs usually take a while to swallow the company.
WATCH
A lot of their drugs were coming off patent, which is why they bought Wyeth, which has a strong portfolio of women's healthcare. With this acquisition closing, she would expect a lot of integration savings and cutting of costs. She would like more detail on this.
BUY
Although they have drugs coming off patent over the next few years, they are acquiring wyeth and they have some promising new drugs.
