This summary was created by AI, based on 24 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is facing significant challenges as it navigates a patent cliff following the success of its COVID-19 vaccine. Many experts are concerned about its ability to generate new blockbuster drugs and the sustainability of its high dividend yields, which currently range from 6.4% to 7%. Several reviews emphasize that while the dividend is attractive, the company lacks earnings momentum and has uncertainty surrounding its drug pipeline. The stock trades at low earnings multiples, suggesting it may be undervalued, but experts warn that the lack of growth drivers could limit upside potential. Overall, patience may be required for investors looking for signs of recovery or growth in the company's future, especially as its recent acquisitions are yet to yield significant results.

DON'T BUY
If you look at what has happened to the pharnaceuticals over the last 2 years, generally the big ethical drug companies have been very poor performers. Growth rates have dropped to low single digits. Prefers bio-tech or bio-pharmaceuticals that have growth.
BUY
Has been hurt by the Cox-2 inhibitor problem which is in their Celbrex and Bextra. Pharmaceutical stocks in general have all been poor performers and valuations have become more reasonable, so is probably OK to start looking at them. Prefers Bristol Myers as you get a nice size dividend as they wait for a pick up.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 26/04. Down 8%.) Model price is $39. Totally mispriced. Should be a portion of everybody's portfolio. Looking out a year, you should make good money off it.
HOLD
There was a negative call on one of their drugs which affected the stock price dramatically. This will mean a lot more testing and a lot more money. Have other products in their stable they can go with.
BUY
When a stock gets hit with very negative news, there tends to be an overreaction, so it's best to put in a very lowball bid. If you get it there, fine, if not, you'll probably get a second chance.
WAIT
Wait and see how things shake out. Only one day on the news and there's lots of interpretations on what it means.
DON'T BUY
Biggest problem with the drugs has to do with the litigation problems in the US. George Bush has asked Congress to drastically reduce the awards. If successful, it will be a huge win for drug companies.
TOP PICK
Quality at a discount. There will be a lot of opportunity for upward surprises and multiple expansion. Trades at 11.7 X next year's earnings which is a 22% discount to its peer group. Have a wide and deep pipeline.
DON'T BUY
Companies like Pfizer and Merck have been coming apart for quite awhile. Growth rate has gone from 30% to low single digits. When this happens, the P/E has to contract. There are more sellers than buyers. One of the few that is doing better is Schering AG. Growth rate is accelerating and have a good line up of drugs.
DON'T BUY
Everyone is scared to death of the pharmaceuticals because of litigation risks. Have got terrific drugs, but there's going to be blood ankle deep on the floor because of Vioxx.
TOP PICK
Of all the drug companies put together, this company has the strongest pipe line. This is a mispriced asset. When you lok at the earnings, the balance sheet and where interest rates are, it's worth $50.
TOP PICK
Merck had to pull their rheumatoid arthritis drug. Pfizer's drug is somewhat similar which caused investors to sell. FDA says it is a safe drug, so the stock is at a good price.
DON'T BUY
A very good company, but the recent problems with Bayer's similar drugs has him scared.
BUY
Offers reasonable opportunity here, but could be a long go before there are signs of recovery. Cheap. Long term concern is possible pricing controls.
BUY
The big block buster drugs are starting to face generic competition. Very cheap, but the market is worried about nothing being on the horizon for 2005/2006. Under $30 is a good price. Be willing to sit and wait. A great story.
