Pfizer Inc (PFE) is facing significant challenges including a patent cliff and the aftermath of over-earning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has made efforts to bolster its drug pipeline through acquisitions, such as Seagen, but many experts express concerns about the lack of earnings momentum and blockbusters to drive growth. While the stock offers an attractive dividend yield (around 6-7%), there is a prevailing sentiment around its long-term growth prospects as reliance on cost-cutting and strategic acquisitions seems insufficient. Analysts highlight the need for a new growth catalyst, particularly in oncology, to reassure investors as the dividend yield may be at risk if substantial progress with new drugs is not achieved. Overall, patience is emphasized by many experts, with a hope that the stock will eventually perform better amid potential improvements in government policies and market conditions.

HOLD
Reflects all the bad news that Lipitor will be going going off patent in a couple of years and its drug pipeline is absolutely barren. In the meantime you get paid 6.5%. Pretty cheap.
TOP PICK
Thinks the pharmaceutical sector will start to do quite well in the next 2 years. It is so negative now in terms of what the government wants to do but historically they have never been able to cut the price of drugs. You are getting 5% to wait.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan of big cap pharma and hasn't been for some time. One of the most difficult business models to operate. Regulatory issues are so difficult to overcome between patent expiries and increasingly stringent health regulations and registration processes. (See Top Picks.)
SELL
The major pharmaceuticals are not on his top list. Bioteches are where you are going to see innovations. They are the ones coming out with the new drugs and have a better pipeline.
DON'T BUY
Just doesn't seem to be up to right itself. Spinning off a lot of cash but its size limits it from growing.
DON'T BUY
Getting killed by generics. They get sued when they hurt people. Government won't stand up for them when generics can provide health care at a fraction of the price. Prefer TEVA-O
DON'T BUY
Has been a difficult stock. Could improve from here however there will be other opportunities in this space you could get more juice from.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 10/08. Down 27.8%.) Paired with Teva (TEVA-Q) as his generic company. Down a little because of their intention to purchase Wyath. Cut their dividend but still gives a healthy yield. Good defensive place.
BUY
Made a good acquisition of Wyeth. Have created value in previous acquisitions. Cut the dividend while making the deal so the stock price fell. This made a lot of sense. The big issue is whether this will fill a hole in their product line. Reasonable dividend and very good balance sheet.
DON'T BUY
A former glory growth stock. A lot of healthcare products and there is the issue of aging in America but that is offset by many of their expensive premier drugs going generic. Just cut their dividends. Would prefer other pharmaceutical stocks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 27/08. Down 40%.)
DON'T BUY
Cut the dividend in order to preserve cash to make acquisitions even though their balance sheets is fortress like. Lipitor is coming off patent in a couple of years. Stock has been very disappointing. A "show me" stock.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Just completing an acquisition.
HOLD
At this price it is probably near a low. Made a big acquisition that is scaring everybody. Can't see a lot of downside from here.
SELL
Made a huge bet with their acquisition of Wyeth and the patents are running off. If it doesn't work out they are going to have some very difficult times.
