Pfizer Stock: Nearing 52-Week Lows Amid Challenges
Pfizer's stock currently faces a challenging market position, trading precariously close to its 52-week lows. The shares recently showed minimal recovery, rising just 0.2 percent to $25.99 in New York trading. This slight uptick provides little comfort as the stock remains approximately 21 percent below its 52-week high of $31.54, though still 6.13 percent above its yearly low of $24.49. Adding to investor concerns, Pfizer insider Jennifer Damico, Senior Vice President and Controller, recently sold 2,500 shares at $25.93 each, totaling $64,825. Simultaneously, she acquired 5,583 shares through a restricted stock units program, bringing her total holdings to 11,850 shares. The pharmaceutical giant's performance reflects ongoing market challenges despite analysts setting an average price target of $30.40, suggesting significant upside potential from current levels.
Legal Issues and Dividend Appeal
Further pressuring the stock is a recent German court ruling determining that Pfizer and partner BioNTech violated Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine patent, potentially resulting in substantial compensation payments. Despite these headwinds, Pfizer maintains appeal for income-focused investors with its impressive 6.63 percent dividend yield and 55-year history of uninterrupted dividend payments. Analysts project a slight dividend increase from $1.69 to $1.70 for the current year. Following its latest quarterly results, which showed revenue of $17.76 billion and earnings per share of $0.07, experts forecast full-year 2025 earnings of $2.95 per share.
