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.

DON'T BUY
Largest drug company globally. Very strong number of products but along with most of the big pharmaceutical companies there are a large number of drugs that come off patent. About 25% of their earnings comes from one drug, Lipitor and when it comes off patent it will have a big effect on their earnings. There are better places to be.
DON'T BUY
This is not the one to bet on in this sector. Very cheap, up for a reason. Drug pipeline is not impressive. Have patent issues. (See Top Picks.)
COMMENT
Recently started buying through selling Put options, which would require him to Buy (e.g. at $16). Tide is turning on the sector and he likes it very much. Risks are healthcare reform and patent expirations.
DON'T BUY
There will continue to be pressure on prices. Also US government is litigation friendly, which can hit them with 1) injury related suits and 2) patent infringement.
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%.)
