Looking ahead, Pfizer is anticipated to potentially exceed its financial guidance, driven by higher utilization of its products such as Comirnaty and Paxlovid, and strong performance from its newly acquired oncology portfolio from Seagen.
Analysts forecast up to 30% growth in its oncology franchise and vaccine sales, contributing to Pfizer’s ambitious goal of adding $25 billion in risk-adjusted revenue by 2030.
However, challenges remain. Demand for Pfizer’s COVID-19 products and oncology drugs could fall short of expectations, and risks related to key product sales, pricing pressure, and pipeline developments persist.
Despite these concerns, the upcoming golden cross and recent bullish signals suggest Pfizer stock may be poised for further gains.
As Pfizer prepares to report its Q2 earnings, all eyes will be on whether these bullish indicators translate into sustained growth for the pharmaceutical giant.
