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.

BUY
Have recently added this to his fund. Good free cash flow, strong balance sheet. There is some risk right now with their Lipitor drug. A group in India is making a generic version.
HOLD
Have done a lot of restructuring. Will cut their costs which will help. Part of the problem in the pharmaceutical industry has been the poor leadership in the FDA. A cheap stock and you're getting paid a 3.5% yield. Trades at a very low multiple.
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.
