The stock has declined 21% from its $427 high to $337, but now trades at 2.28x P/S, near the 5-year median of 2.31x, and 26.5x P/E which is above the 5-year median of 23.5x. EPS declined 4.6% in โ€ฆ
PFE โ€” Pfizer Inc.
Pfizer remains the world's largest traditional pharmaceutical company by non-COVID revenue, generating $62.6B in 2025 sales across oncology, cardiovascular, immunology, and vaccines. The stock trades at a P/S of 2.44x, still well below the 5-year median of 3.10x, driven by post-COVID revenue normalization, a $17-18B patent cliff spanning 2026-2028, and $61.6B in acquisition-related debt from Seagโ€ฆ
