Pfizer (PFE) just put fresh data behind one of its more interesting pipeline assets, with Phase 3 results showing HYMPAVZI improved bleeding outcomes for hemophilia patients who cannot rely on standard factor therapies.
See our latest analysis for Pfizer.
The HYMPAVZI data adds to a year where Pfizer’s 1 month share price return of 6.55% and 1 year total shareholder return of 8.49% hint at early momentum after a tough three year stretch.
If this kind of pipeline progress has your attention, it could be a good moment to explore other healthcare stocks that might be setting up for their next leg of growth.
With shares still trading below analyst targets and a hefty intrinsic discount, investors now face a pivotal question: Is Pfizer quietly undervalued after its reset, or is the market already pricing in this next wave of growth?
With Pfizer closing at $26.03 against a narrative fair value near $29.08, the gap suggests expectations for a gradual but meaningful earnings rebuild.
Strategic business development and licensing (such as the 3SBio bispecific antibody deal and ongoing portfolio additions in high-value areas like oncology, immunology, and obesity) support revenue diversification and lifecycle management, mitigating the impact of patent expirations and increasing net margins via synergies and optimized product mix.
Curious how shrinking top line forecasts can still coexist with rising profit margins and a richer earnings multiple over time? The most followed narrative leans on a specific blend of margin expansion, mix shift, and disciplined share count assumptions to bridge that gap. Want to see exactly which long range profit targets underpin this fair value call, and how they compare to the wider pharma pack? Read on and see what the narrative is really pricing in.
Result: Fair Value of $29.08 (UNDERVALUED)

However, heightened regulatory pressure on drug pricing and patent expirations on key oncology assets could compress margins and derail the earnings recovery implied in this narrative.
