Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is currently facing challenges following its pandemic-driven peak during which it surged due to COVID-19 vaccine sales. Experts have pointed out a lack of earnings momentum and concerns over a patent cliff, as key drugs have come off patent and the company needs to innovate to develop new blockbuster drugs. Despite these challenges, many analysts emphasize the attractive dividend yield, which remains around 6-8%. The company is pivoting towards growth areas such as obesity and oncology, and while there's a general belief that PFE is under pressure, patience from investors could yield positive results. Several insights indicate that while it may not attract immediate growth, the company’s efforts in acquisitions and drug development could eventually pay off, given time.

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.
DON'T BUY
Hard one to play because it's in the drug space and there is a lot of litigation happening. From a trading perspective, this is a dangerous one to play.
WEAK BUY
Big pharmaceutical pipelines product lines are getting squeezed and they have to cut costs. Relatively cheap, but the growth rate is not as good as it was.
BUY
Like many of the pharmaceuticals, it is a company in transition. Won't go up aggressively, but it pays a decent yield. Historically, these companies have done well and they throw off a lot of free cash flow. New management is expected to cut costs and the company is buying back stock. Good balance sheet. Cheap.
HOLD
They have a great balance sheet and a yield over 4%. If you own, he would stick with it at this time.
DON'T BUY
Had a number of one time issues that have been happening which has made it a bad investment for the last 5 years. Probably near its bottom now. Would consider it in the $21 area.
SELL
If you want to stay in the pharmaceutical space, he would prefer Eli Lilly (LLY-N).
TOP PICK
His model price is $39. That’s a 49% positive differential. Looking out 1 year with their earnings, it’s a 15% return, plus the dividend of 4.4% gives a 20% implied rate of return.
TOP PICK
Pulled a replacement for Lipitor because of poor tests. Wasn’t going to contribute until 2010. Stock dropped. Near its all time low. Pristine balance sheet. Oversold.
BUY
Likes the pharmaceutical industry, as it is undervalued. In the long term, it will come back. They will have to cut costs dramatically over the next several years. Cheap. Pays a 4% yield. Defensive. Won’t have dramatic moves.
TOP PICK
One for over 1, 2 and 3 years. Lost their major new blockbuster drug, but it wasn’t due on the market until Lipitor came off patent, 4 years out. Has $38 billion in cash and generates about $14 billion cash a year. Dividend yield of 3.9% and sees it going up a lot.
DON'T BUY
What happened to their drug yesterday will probably mean the stock will stay down for awhile.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 3/06. Down 4.2%.) Have sold their consumer products division and have a tremendous amount of cash coming in, giving them a very strong balance sheet. A Hold.
BUY
Pharmaceutical and health care area has been very difficult. Has done better in the last 6 months. A cheap stock.
