Should You Invest in Pfizer?

OVERVIEW

Why you Should?

  1. Pfizer has just launched a COVID-19 booster shot which is given to people after a certain amount of time since the first inoculation. This is a great opportunity for the company to get a recurring revenue stream as they will continue to distribute COVID-19 vaccines/vaccine booster shots in the future. This will benefit the company and its investors.
  2. Not only does Pfizer manufacture the COVID-19 vaccine, but they also manufacture a wide range of drugs. Some of these drugs include Advil, Eliquis, Chapstick, Bextra, and many others. This wide range of products will help the company go through tough times of demand as they can get income from more revenue opportunities. This will benefit the company and its investors.
  3. Pfizer is an extremely cheap investment option. The company currently trades at around 22 times price to earnings and also trades below 40 dollars. This makes the company a great cheap investment option and will also benefit investors in the company.

Why You Should Not?

  1. Pfizer has to deal with an extremely weak political background under a Biden administration. The administration will look to lower the cost of healthcare for Americans. This will hurt the company’s top and bottom line if they have to be forced to reduce the amount that they sell some drugs for. This will also hurt investors in the company.
  2. The COVID-19 pandemic hurt some aspects of the company’s business. Not only did the company spend billions of dollars in order to quickly make a COVID-19 vaccine, but they also saw a drop in demand for other drugs as people stayed indoors and did not go to hospitals. This hurt the company and its investors.
