  • Pfizer shares dip as CFO announces August departure, 2026 outlook unchanged
    June 21, 2026, 12:42 PM EDT. Pfizer's stock fell 2.7% to $25.21 after CFO Dave Denton announced his planned departure in August. Despite the selloff, the pharmaceutical giant maintained its 2026 revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts, expecting $59.5 billion to $62.5 billion in revenue and adjusted diluted EPS between $2.80 and $3.00. Denton's exit raises investor concerns over leadership succession and Pfizer's strategy amid competition in obesity drugs from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. The company acquired obesity drug developer Metsera and is progressing with 10 Phase 3 studies this year but faces market challenges due to price pressures. Pfizer's shares underperformed broader indexes during a holiday-shortened week, reflecting investor uncertainty ahead of Monday's trading session.
