Tim Anderson has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Pfizer’s current market position and future outlook. The company is entering a competitive landscape with its PD1-VEGF bispecific antibody, SSGJ-707, which faces competition from other major pharmaceutical companies. While Pfizer has expressed confidence in the potential differentiation of its drug, the crowded market and the uncertainty of clinical trial outcomes contribute to a cautious stance.
Additionally, Pfizer’s current price-to-earnings ratio and dividend yield provide some support for its stock price. However, concerns about the long-term growth prospects due to upcoming patent expirations and competitive pressures from other pharmaceutical players lead to a neutral outlook. These factors collectively underpin the Hold rating, as the stock’s potential for significant appreciation appears limited in the near term.
In another report released today, Bernstein also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $30.00 price target.
