Pfizer: Danuglipron Could Tip The Scale In A Few Years, But For Now, Sell — Positive
PFE Seeking Alpha — February 17, 2025I rate Pfizer a sell for the next 18–24 months. I expect continued headwinds from Medicare Part D redesign and patent expirations for Eliquis and Prevnar-13 in 2026. Medicare changes will cut $1 billion from 2025 revenue, with PFE now responsible for 20% of catastrophic drug costs. Danuglipron could be Pfizer's turnaround catalyst if late stage trials succeed in 2025. I expect its potential launch in late 2026 or early 2027 to boost investor sentiment.
