Latest Analyst Coverage
Wells Fargo today, January 17th, issued a research note lowering its rating on Pfizer’s stock to “Equal Weight” from “Overweight” and cut the 12 month target price from “USD 54” to “USD 50”. Wells Fargo’s “Equal Weight” rating means that the firm believes the stock is fairly valued, and the stock’s performance is likely to be in line, or lower than the overall market. Wells Fargo believes the company needs to move on from the impact of COVID and is focus on their new pipeline. The CEO, Albert Bourla, said in May 2021 that he believes the stock is undervalued and that investors will eventually recognize this, but investors believe Pfizer is a Covid stock, and will continue to suffer until they emerge under a new narrative.
