Pfizer - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Pfizer Inc. for these reasons:

  • Recent downgrades in price targets by firms like Goldman Sachs, which lowered its target from $32.00 to $25.00, may signal concerns about future growth prospects.
  • The stock has experienced fluctuations, with a one-year high of $31.54 and a low of $20.92, indicating volatility that could deter risk-averse investors.
  • Despite a strong institutional presence, there is still one sell rating among analysts, suggesting that not all market participants are confident in the stock's performance.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.64 indicates a moderate level of debt, which could pose risks if market conditions change or if the company faces operational challenges.
  • With a P/E ratio of 17.53, the stock may be considered overvalued compared to industry peers, which could limit upside potential for new investors.
