NYSE:PFE
It is down 60% from its peak and trading at 10X forward earnings with a 6% dividend yield, It took the windfall cash from the Covid vaccines, etc. and re-invested in new growth areas such as cancer, diabetic and weight loss treatments/ drugs., It is out of favour and there is potential for growth.

Industry, overall, is fairly mature. Challenging to get drugs approved. Pharma companies are struggling to grow, dealing with patent cliffs. Flipside is generating good cashflows. Very attractive for income, but don't own it for share price performance, since growth is challenged. Yield is 6.5%, safe.
A very contrarian pick. Why now? Company's pivoting from Covid to cancer. Unfortunately, cancer is a huge market with 1 in 3 being diagnosed. Very strong lineup of potential new blockbuster drugs, management confidence is high on them. Market underappreciates it. Estimated to grow earnings 14%. Trades at 10x, with nice yield of 5.96%.
Near the bottom, won't go much lower. Not if it will work, but when. You get a nice dividend. Tomorrow's winner.
He was looking at it the other day. Trading where it was 30 years ago, despite a slew of acquisitions allowing it to tread water. Big dividend. Bought back shares. Pharma industry in general has been tough for 30 years. FDA has been tougher. Drugs coming out are more narrow-niche. Drug prices are under pressure globally.
They're having a hangover, post-Covid, after selling vaccines, but those sales have plunged. But at $50 billion in sales, PFE remains a global pharma leader. Pays a 6% dividend. Shares are close to bottoming. Trades at only 12x PE vs. peers like Eli Lily at 70-80x.
(Analysts’ price target is $32.13)
Believes stock is bottoming out right now. New products are going to present opportunity. ~5.5% also good.
