This summary was created by AI, based on 27 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is perceived as a defensive stock with an attractive dividend yield around 6-7%, appealing to income-focused investors. However, many experts express concern about the company's growth potential following a reliance on COVID-19 vaccine revenues, which have receded. The consensus indicates that while PFE maintains a low valuation (PE around 8-10x), its growth is stagnant or uncertain due to impending patent expirations and the challenges associated with developing new blockbuster drugs. Moreover, there are worries that the ongoing focus on acquisitions may not lead to the anticipated revenue boosts. Despite these concerns, some analysts suggest PFE could still perform well for patient investors, especially as sector interest begins to build. Ultimately, the outlook remains cautious, with a preference noted for other stocks in the pharmaceutical sector that exhibit better growth trajectories.

DON'T BUY

Does not own shares. Recent share price erosion a good place to buy. Post Covid-19 demand has fallen, which has reduced revenues. Patent expiration also a major concern. Very old company, but would wait before buying. 

DON'T BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

Not convinced it's based. Pretty good dividend yield of 5.9% is one redeeming quality, appears fairly safe. Underperforming. May have over-invested in Covid-related ideas. Still great brand long term. Stay away for now.

TOP PICK

Covid-19 vaccine business fading, but business strong. Valuation coming back down to reasonable levels. Dividend yield ~6%. Expecting further growth with excellent R&D investment. 

DON'T BUY

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. 

WATCH

Not a great year, pullback in vaccine-related revenues, which are now normalizing. Reduced guidance every quarter this past year. Perhaps stock is washed out now. Patent cliffs. Buying companies and investing in R&D. Needs to see this is working.

SELL ON STRENGTH

They lack a good pipeline. Their 6% dividend is fine, but is this went to $32, sell. He wished he could be more positive.

DON'T BUY

It's show-me time. They made money during Covid, but they haven't performed since. Is the forgotten pharma company. Need to release a big drug. Tax-loss selling is nearly done, so shares should rise. Trades at a reasonable PE. Pays a 6% dividend, but grows at only 3.8%.

DON'T BUY

Shares fell today on their 2024 guidance. They're spending to bolster their drug pipeline (a migraine drug, Seagen's anti-cancer franchise). Their migraine drug sales disappointed this year, and the FTC is delaying the Seagen deal. 

BUY

Great company. Would recommend buying on share price weakness. Strong pipeline of new products and research. Owns shares in portfolio and would recommend for long term investor. Safe dividend. 

TOP PICK

A contrarian call. They failed to get into the weight-loss drag boom, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Them buying Seagen will diversify their business by getting the more into oncology which offers strong growth, more sustainable than weight-loss drugs. Offers good long-term growth for 3-5 years.

(Analysts’ price target is $39.58)
HOLD

Growth for business will continue, but not as fast as during Covid-19. Valuation coming back to better level. Trading at ~12x earnings which is better place to be. Would advise investors to compare business to peers. 

COMMENT

Had great success during the pandemic; their vaccine led. The company just offered growth warnings. He prefers Merck for its better valuation and their key drug Keytruda which makes up 35% of their revenue.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan. The kind of pharma company that buys companies for growth. The other kind builds their own pharmaceuticals from the ground up, and that's where he wants to be. Good business, but not one he wants exposure to. Further downside from here.

DON'T BUY

Great dividend, beat earnings last quarter. Cost cutting. Transitioning away from Covid. Very cheap at 9.5x 2024 earnings, 4% growth. At some point, it will stop falling, but not sure it's there yet. On price to growth, not nearly as attractive as MRK. Look elsewhere.
