Potential 10% Upside To Pfizer’s Price Estimate
Our estimate for Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) is dependent on the success of its phase 3 pipeline. Here, we consider an extreme scenario in which all phase 3 drugs are approved within next 3 years. It could imply 10% upside to our price estimate.
Phase 3 pipeline fires
Pfizer’s Oncology Drugs Revenue, Neuroscience Drugs Revenue and Cardiovascular Drugs Revenue: Pfizer’s pipeline is reasonably strong. The phase 3 oncology pipeline has 3 drugs with combined peak sales estimate of $6 billion. Overall, the the company has 10 drugs in phase 3 which can bring in combined peak sales of $12.5 billion. Our valuation reflects probability adjusted revenues, assuming 50% probability of phase 3 drugs reaching commercial launch stage. However, if all phase 3 drugs are approved within the next 3 years, it could imply 10% upside to our price estimate.
