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.

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.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 7/08. Down 28,2%.) Likes it for its valuation and its recent acquisition of Wyeth, which gets them into biotechnology and vaccines. Cheap on an earnings basis. Over 4% dividend. In a recession, drug stocks do relatively well. Stock has been oversold.
BUY
Currently, pharmaceutical stocks are outperforming the market. A good place to hide and to make some money. Yield of 7.2%. Lots of cash.
TOP PICK
His model price is $24.87, a 50% upside. $24 billion in cash.
SELL
Get Out! Sell. Not a fan of pharmaceuticals. Feels innovations will be in biotechnology not pharmaceuticals.
TRADE
Manufactures of the drug lipidore (the most popular cholesterol drug) Their patent is running out in 2011 - 2012 and they are considering walking away and getting into cancer drugs.
DON'T BUY
Health care space, specifically drugs and bio pharmaceuticals is interesting but this is not one that he would Buy. Continue to have issues with drugs coming off of patents and relatively low revenue growth. Would prefer something like Gilead Sciences (GILD-Q) or a generic like Teva (TEVA-Q). This is an area where you should have some exposure.
COMMENT
High dividend yield. Cheap because people think there is not much in the pipeline. Lipitor will be going off patent so earnings will drop. Almost like a short-term bond in that you get cash flow from existing drugs that are pretty dependable but not much growth. Sold his holdings about 2 years ago because of lack of growth. Relatively safe but not a lot of upside.
DON'T BUY
Have a lot of cash and produce a lot of cash flow. Very high dividend. They cannot seem to get any catalyst for growth. A lot of competition from generic drug companies.
