Pfizer Stock Outlook for 2026: Oncology Momentum, Obesity Deals, and the Patent Cliff Investors Can’t Ignore

Pfizer Stock Outlook for 2026: Oncology Momentum, Obesity Deals, and the Patent Cliff Investors Can’t Ignore

As of Monday, December 22, 2025, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is once again at the center of a familiar market debate: is this a battered pharma giant destined to stay “dead money,” or a dividend-rich turnaround story that could surprise investors as its pipeline matures?

But the longer-term case—outlined in a wave of investor and analyst commentary this month—rests on whether Pfizer can execute in the two areas that matter most to its post-patent-cliff future: oncology and

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (HYMC) Stock: Latest News, Forecasts and Analysis for Dec. 22, 2025

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: HYMC) is heading into the Dec. 22 session with fresh momentum after a busy mid-December stretch that blended “real rocks” news (high-grade silver drill intercepts), balance-sheet updates (cash, debt status, and warrant proceeds), and an unusually noisy shareholder/flow backdrop (Eric Sprott buying, AMC trimming most of its stake to Sprott Mining, and elevated options activity).

Unilever PLC Stock (ULVR, UL) News and Forecasts on Dec. 22, 2025: Post–Magnum Spin-Off Outlook, Analyst Targets, and Key Risks

Unilever PLC stock is entering a new chapter—one where the company is deliberately trying to look less like a sprawling “everything consumer” conglomerate and more like a sharper, higher-margin personal care, beauty, and wellbeing platform. That narrative shift has been building all year, but December’s ice cream separation (and the operational clean-up work that followed) is what made it real for shareholders. As of Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, one of the most practical milestones for investors is administrative rather than financial: Unilever has been working through the final mechanics of the separation and share consolidation, including the dispatch of statements
