Pfizer (PFE) stock rises as CEO calls obesity push a “Viagra”-scale bet, with earnings next in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 15:10 EST — Regular session Pfizer Inc shares climbed about 2% to $25.65 on Wednesday following CEO Albert Bourla’s remarks on the company’s push into the rapidly expanding cash-pay obesity drug market. “We are all in on obesity,” Bourla told reporters at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Pfizer plans to launch 10 Phase 3 trials for its Metsera obesity compounds by the end of 2026, aiming to fuel future growth. The company still doesn’t expect revenue growth to return until 2029, as it navigates patent expirations and a slowdown in COVID-era sales.

  • Trump Brings Nasdaq, NYSE to White House as Stock Trading Draws Fire
    July 6, 2026, 6:15 AM EDT. Donald Trump brought the heads of Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange to the White House for a joint opening bell, marking the launch of tax-deferred "Trump Accounts" for kids. The event comes as questions mount over Trump's own stock trading-more than 21,000 trades last year, more than any previous sitting president.
