Pfizer stocks have seen a significant decrease with a 63% dip, raising investor interest about its potential to recover. The drug maker's dividend has been at 7.5%, adding to its attractiveness for many investors. However, doubts exist if it is a solid income source or a risk. On the brighter side, the company managed to boost profit through cost-cutting, leading to a jump in stocks in S&P 500. Analysts from Guggenheim and Jefferies have maintained a buy rating, with targets at $23 and $33, respectively.
Some controversies surround the company's reactions to Trump's plan for drug pricing rules, though recent developments have seen Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Merck stocks turn around. A new partnership with 3SBio on cancer drug marketing was recently announced, promising new possibilities. Nevertheless, the mixed first quarter results beg the question whether the stocks should be bought, sold, or held. Pfizer's earnings met expected sales decline with solid bottom-line growth from cost savings.
Their participation in COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing enhanced the company's image, but the stricter regulatory standards could pose a challenge going forward. Pfizer also expands its cost-cut strategy, yielding better-than-expected profits in the face of falling revenue.
