Pfizer Inc (PFE) is facing significant challenges stemming from a patent cliff, leading to concerns about its drug pipeline and growth prospects in the coming years. Analysts emphasize the company's attractive dividend yield, which hovers around 6-7%, making it appealing for income-focused investors. However, many reviews suggest that the lack of earnings momentum and the need for new blockbuster drugs remain critical issues. Despite a robust pipeline and recent acquisitions, the absence of immediate catalysts for growth has left investors cautious. Overall, while Pfizer provides a decent dividend, its future performance hinges on successful drug development and navigating market sentiment around healthcare reforms.
Pfizer vs. JNJ
That just bought a company, and he immediately thought of the 2008 Wyeth acquisition (at the top of that cycle), and right after shares plunged. Pfizer's timing has not improved. Better to buy JNJ which is doing spin-offs that should benefit the company. JNJ is well-managed and regularly raises its dividend.
Prefers ABBV. Main overhang to PFE is what happens to the vaccine franchise now that we're on the other side of Covid? PFE will need other engines, it's a show-me story. ABBV is a leader in immunology. Humira is coming off patent, which will compress earnings, but that's well-known by the market. Its pipeline will fill the gap, plus Botox business.

Premium contentWe reiterate PFE as a TOP PICK. With a ROE of 36% and trading at 7x earnings this is good value here. The company expects to hear soon if its RSV vaccine will get approval as one of the first available for people over 60 years of age. Cash reserves continue growing while the company retires debt. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio un 30% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $35, looking to achieve $52.50 - upside potential over 28%. Yield 3.9%
(Analysts’ price target is $52.52)
Good cash flow and pays a 3.7x dividend. Cheap at 12x PE. Good cardio drug in the pipeline, looking promising. Shares are down lately because of a general rotation and society is getting indifferent to Covid and vaccines. Management sees 7-9% revenue growth outside Covid vaccines. Strong balance sheet. Offers defence and offence.
