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.

COMMENT
Is preforming quite well without a lot of fanfare. Thinks it is going to trade to a discount, would rather go to a Sheering or Abbot.
TOP PICK
Hasn't moved but has the most value of similar stocks. Massively mispriced.
COMMENT
Blue chip. Nice dividend. Don't expect too much excitement.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 9/06. Up 4.2%.) Yield gave him another 4%. Sold their consumers products division for $19 billion so have a huge amount of cash on the books. Can't see a lot of downside here.
DON'T BUY
Has value characteristics which is positive, but he can't get comfortable with their largest drug Lipidor going off patent in 2011. Does not all they'll make up for this.
BUY
His value drug play. Growth drug play is Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA-Q). Pharmaceuticals got the wind kicked out of them a couple of years ago and are now showing some rebound. Very nice yield. Huge cash hoard and are buying back stock and probably will increase dividends again.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Looks like it is in the process of breaking the downtrend. That was established with the recent higher lows. If you own, he would Hold.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 10/06. Up 5.3%.) One of the cheapest stocks on the S&P500. His model price is $40.47 giving it a 55% positive differential. Any positive catalyst will help the stock price. Dividends are almost 5%.
BUY
The drug stocks in the US have been beat up. The problems they had have gotten somewhat better. Increased their dividend and are investing in more R&D. Buying back shares. Low multiple.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't like many of the big pharmaceuticals. Has a great deal of revenue at risk with Lipitor coming off patent and they don't have a lot to replace it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 5/06. Up to .3%.) Still has lots of upside and it has a good yield. Have a lot of cash.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 21/06. Down 2.5%.) Sold their consumer business. There is so much value there. New management is cutting costs. 4.7% dividend. Still likes.
BUY
Pays a nice dividend. Have tons of cash through their normal cash generation as well as selling their consumers product division. Using some of it to increase dividends and some to buy back shares. 13 X earnings.
TOP PICK
This is a balance sheet story. They have a huge balance sheet that they can’t do anything with. Volatility in the stock price has fallen. New management wants to fire 10,000 people, etc. and it sounds like he wants to reduce the balance sheet. A restructuring story. 5% dividend. His current model price is $40, a 51% positive differential.
HOLD
Drug companies have been struggling under generic competition as well as a difficult regulatory environment. Looks like compelling value here but would be more comfortable at $24.
