This summary was created by AI, based on 29 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

BUY
It's in a big trading range of $25/29. Don't let it go below the low of $24. Hopefully it will break up through the trend line. You should be in this for at least 2 years.
BUY
Has a model price of $38.43.
DON'T BUY
They beat the numbers today. Numbers are pretty low. They are taking costs out. The problems with these stocks, which are all innovation dependent, is essentially depletion through generics.
BUY
Prefers the US health care stocks as they are much larger and much more seasoned. The big pharma has been a very difficult area. This one has been under a bit of a cloud, but it's cheap on an earnings basis.
DON'T BUY
Growth rate went from 30% three years ago to almost low single digits or flat. Not performing well. The group is in the early stages of a turn around, but would be more inclined to buy the company that has flourished through this period. Would prefer Abbott Labs (ABT-N).
DON'T BUY
The whole area has been beaten up and is very interesting. The big pharmas have a big challenge as the pipelines are a little bit bare. Would rather own companies that are suppliers to the pharmas, such as IMS Health (RX-N). (He doesn't follow big caps.)
BUY
RE:Call options Jan/07. Not particularily expensive as it has not been a volatile stock. Not a bad way to play the stock if you are bullish on the company. The company has a very good dividend, so call option are less than the put options quite often. (His play on this is through the Vipers (VHT-A).)
BUY
Got in on the Celebrex recall. This company has developed some fantastic drugs. Pharmaceutical stocks in the US have been absolutely decimated. Dirt cheap. 3.5% didvidend yield while you wait for a recovery. Generates a ton of free cash flow. Merck & Company (MRK-N) are in the same way.
DON'T BUY
This company, along with the other drug stocks, has had a very big problem. Fell below its 200 day moving average. There is no base.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan24/05. Up 8%.) Still likes.
WEAK BUY
Pharmaceuticals have pretty good cash flows, but their stocks are going nowhere. Cheap on a relative basis to where they've been. Have one big overhang as a group, i.e., there are a lot of patent expiries that are going to happen in 2006. May not be a bad time to start picking them up.
BUY
A good long term hold. Historically cheap.
TOP PICK
Likes the pharmaceutical industry. The market is not thinking about the tremendous amount of cash they throw off and that they are cheap. Made the right move by not taking Celebrex off the market. Good pipeline.
BUY
In their top 10. Great valuation.
BUY
FDA has given the OK on the controversial drugs. Pfizer is a very strong company and has the best pipeline of all the large drug companies. Continues to generate billions of $'s of free cash flow. YOu won't get rich, but you'll make some money.
