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
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.
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.
