Live Oak Private Wealth LLC cut its stake in Pfizer (PFE.N) by 92.5% in the third quarter, selling 216,868 shares and ending the period with 17,627 shares, a regulatory filing showed. MarketBeat+2SEC+2

The disclosures matter because quarterly holdings reports are one of the few windows investors get into how money managers were positioned in major stocks heading into the final stretch of the year. The filings can signal shifting conviction in Pfizer, a high-profile name in U.S. healthcare. MarketBeat+2MarketBeat+2

The reports are known as Form 13F filings, which large investment managers submit to U.S. regulators to list many of their U.S.-traded equity holdings. They show positions as of the quarter-end and do not capture trades made after that date. SEC+2SEC+2

Live Oak’s Pfizer holding was valued at about $449,000 at the end of the quarter, the filing’s information table showed. SEC+1

Brookstone Capital Management lifted its Pfizer stake by 134.1% during the third quarter, acquiring an additional 154,286 shares and ending the period with 269,381 shares, according to its filing. MarketBeat

Brookstone’s Pfizer position was valued at about $6.86 million at quarter-end, the filing summary cited by MarketBeat showed. MarketBeat

Meyer Handelman Co., a larger Pfizer holder among the firms highlighted in recent filings, reduced its position by 3.3% in the third quarter after selling 42,830 shares. It ended the quarter with 1,237,617 shares, worth about $31.53 million, according to the filing. MarketBeat+1

Other advisers made smaller adjustments. Capital Advisory Group Advisory Services LLC and Citizens National Bank Trust Department each reported modest increases in Pfizer holdings earlier in the year, according to filings cited by MarketBeat. MarketBeat

Hedge funds and other institutional investors own about 68.36% of Pfizer’s shares, MarketBeat said, underscoring how shifts in professional portfolios can influence trading in the stock. MarketBeat+2MarketBeat+2

Pfizer shares have traded between $20.92 and $27.69 over the past 12 months, MarketBeat data showed. MarketBeat

Because Form 13F disclosures are backward-looking, investors typically treat them as a snapshot rather than a real-time view of portfolio positioning. Still, sharp moves — like Live Oak’s reduction — can draw attention to changing sentiment around widely held large-cap stocks. MarketBeat+1

  • Tenet Healthcare's Cigna Dispute Highlights Reimbursement Risk and Investor Outlook
    December 29, 2025, 12:38 PM EST. Tenet Healthcare (THC) is in a contract dispute with Cigna over reimbursement for the Abrazo Health network, potentially affecting about 413,000 Arizona enrollees. The standoff highlights how payer-provider negotiations can ripple across Tenet's national network, influencing patient volumes, pricing power, and cash flow as it converts over $20 billion in annual revenue into debt servicing. So far, the shares have reacted modestly, signaling investors don't view this single contract as a thesis breaker, but it underscores margin pressure from tighter payer terms. With the stock trading above what some analysts consider fair value, the dispute adds a new lens on Tenet's ability to sustain earnings growth amid leverage and ongoing margin variability.
