Pfizer Stock (NYSE: PFE) on Dec. 20, 2025: 2026 Forecast, Dividend Outlook, and the Catalysts Wall Street Is Watching

Pfizer’s stock is ending 2025 in a familiar place: caught between near-term headwinds (shrinking COVID-era revenue, a growing patent cliff, and U.S. drug-pricing pressure) and a late-decade recovery narrative built around oncology, obesity, and pipeline execution. As of the latest available trade/close data around Dec. 20, Pfizer shares are near $25.19, modestly higher on the most recent session. Investing.com That price level matters because it frames the debate investors are having right now: Is PFE a high-yield “wait-it-out” turnaround, or a value trap until new launches and major clinical wins begin to offset upcoming losses of exclusivity?

Updated: December 20, 2025 Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE: ETN) is ending 2025 in the middle of a familiar tug-of-war: investors love the company’s exposure to electrification and AI-driven data center buildouts, but they’re debating how much of that growth is already reflected in the stock price—and whether 2026 guidance will re-accelerate enthusiasm.
