This summary was created by AI, based on 23 opinions in the last 12 months.
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.
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)Pharma companies today are divided into the haves and have-nots. Eli Lilly and Vertex are in the 'haves' group. He owns Eli Lilly which could be the biggest of the Pharmas. Also Vertex looks good and has a new Cystic Fibrosis drug. Pfizer has little growth and the stock is under pressure. It pays a high dividend but offers no real dividend growth, He prefers lower paying dividend companies with significant dividend growth ahead rather than companies that pay high dividends now. With this theme in mind The ETF, RDVY, holds companies with the ability to grow dividends. His view is that it is a reflating world and that rates could go up more in the next cycle.
Bought it last year for the 5.9% yield, but with Covid over (and vaccine sales gone), they have nothing. Shares have fallen in the past year. There was disappointment last year, but their obesity pill trial disappointed. Shares are washed out here. There are no expectations, though their drug pipeline is okay.
Down 43% in 2023 and one of the S&P's dogs, falling sharply after Covid. Pfizer keeps facing patent cliffs for its drugs and hitting profit shortfalls. A comeback is possible, but election years made drugmakers targets. Pays a 5.6% dividend and their Seagen deal which could add an excellent cancer franchise.
A CDR lets you bypass any U.S. estate probate tax issues. He owned Pfizer during Covid. Shares have slid since then, below its 200-day moving average. Could be some value at 12x forward PE, but won't touch it.
