Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) agreed to donate the rights of royalties from sales of cancer drug Bavencio (avelumab) to the American Association for Cancer Research to address U.S. Federal Trade Commission concerns related to its $43-billion deal to buy Seagen Inc (NASDAQ:SGEN).

Pfizer said it received all regulatory approvals to close the deal on Thursday, about nine months after announcing the acquisition.

00:00 In a significant move, Pfizer has secured regulatory green lights for its acquisition
00:05 of CGen, of course ticker S-G-E-N, valued at $43 million.
00:10 However, Pfizer is anticipating that FY24 revenues to range between $58.5 billion and
00:17 $61.5 billion, factoring CGen's contribution falling short of the consensus estimate of
00:23 $63.17 billion.
00:26 Likewise their projected FY24 adjusted diluted EPS estimated at a range of $2.05 to $2.25
00:33 on the high end, reflecting the anticipated impact of the acquisition, notably lower than
00:39 of course the consensus here of $3.17.
00:43 So Pfizer continuing to get hit here and it's just not a darling.
00:48 No and again this was my fault.
00:50 I put way too much, you know, here I predicted that there would be, you know, less demand
00:55 for the COVID shots in the future and yet I still bought Pfizer on the dip and I was
00:59 way too early on it.
01:00 I mean at a certain point in time it's all going to be priced in and they're going to
01:03 give that zero, which I think that time is now.
01:06 I think it's like priced in now, but I mean this guidance down and again Moderna following
01:12 suit here.
01:13 I know there's some news on Moderna as well.
01:15 BNTX following suit here today.
01:17 I mean these Pfizer earnings falling are a lot to do with it.
01:20 They were really fluffed up from the COVID shots and people aren't getting them anymore,
01:23 very few people.
01:25 So that's where a lot of these, you know, is coming from here.
01:28 Stock is eventually going to get to a point where it's just too cheap to ignore.
01:33 It's not like this is a startup pharma company.
01:35 This is one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
01:37 It's going to do a lot of things, but they don't like it right now.
01:39 They love Lilly.
01:40 They hate Pfizer.
01:42 Maybe that trade sets up to reverse in January too and start writing these down.
01:46 Oil, Pfizer, your dogs typically going to my January effect, not the textbook January
01:52 effect is that the leaders become laggards and the laggards become leaders the first
01:56 couple of weeks of January.
01:57 There is no laggard bigger than Pfizer, Alibaba, you know, the oil stocks to a certain extent
02:04 all laggards.
02:05 Those are the stocks I'm looking at January 1st, but this is December 13th.
02:09 You don't want to be early.
02:11 I will say though, Pfizer is starting to get attracted from an evaluation perspective.
02:16 Big plunge and I mean, they did, they did not hold back at all.
02:20 Maybe volume took it down to 2610 and you've got a bounce over 27.
02:25 So I'd use those parameters.
02:27 26 is probably a big whole number as well.
02:31 But I think what the most important point to bring up here is, you know, when Pfizer
02:36 was having that run member and I don't know if I could pronounce the CEO's name, right?
02:42 Albert Borla or whatever.
02:43 Do you remember what he was doing with his stock?
02:48 You're sour.
