Why Pfizer Stock Still Looks Deeply Undervalued In 2026
Summary Marty Makary resigned from his position as FDA Commissioner on May 12, in my view, in part because of his inconsistent policy approach. The FDA leadership shake-up continues to this day, but as I'll explain below, this period of uncertainty isn't creating pressure on Big Pharma players, including Pfizer. By the way, Pfizer is still my favorite in the oncology drugs market, trading at a non-GAAP P/E ratio of 8.6x and a high 6.8% dividend yield. In Q1, Padcev sales were $591 million, up 16.3% QoQ and 38.7% YoY, mainly due to increased demand for its use in combination with Merck's Keytruda for treatment of MIBC. Next, I'llpresent five more key factors explaining why I continue to cover Pfizer with a'Strong Buy' rating. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Pfizer's Q1 Update May Mark A Bottom In The Stock
Summary Pfizer is facing some revenue pressures due to some higher Medicare discounts, and this has led to a small miss on revenue delivery in Q1 FY25. Pfizer is making meaningful improvements on profitability and is on track to realize a ~12.3% margin lift from 2024 until the end of 2027 from various cost saving initiatives. Stopping R&D of an obesity drug that had $10 billion annual revenue potential is a major setback and if PFE tries M&A instead, there is a risk of overpaying again. PFE stock is trading at trough valuations and at a larger-than-usual discount vs peers. So I think there is some decent margin of safety. Technical analysis vs SPX500 suggests PFE may be forming a bottom, but strong buyer signals are still absent. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaStability and Growth of Payments
