Pfizer also reported on Tuesday forecast 2025 profits roughly in line with Wall Street expectations, offering some relief to investors after a tumultuous year during which it attracted criticism from activist hedge fund Starboard Value. Shares of Pfizer rose after the drugmaker also said it was expecting 2025 sales of its COVID-19 vaccine and drug to be consistent with 2024 levels. The company expects adjusted profit of US$2.80 to US$3 per share, compared with analysts’ average estimate of US$2.88 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. Pfizer has been reining in costs and shedding non-core businesses to pay down debt as it rebuilds itself after a sharp slump in sales of COVID-19 products. Its shares have fallen nearly 12 per cent this year and trade at less than half their value during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. That has left it open to investor criticism, with Starboard in October saying that Pfizer’s management has over-spent on big acquisitions and failed to produce profitable new drugs from those deals or from its internal research and development
