Did PFE Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Pfizer closed Q4 2025 with a stronger-than-expected performance, posting adjusted diluted EPS of $0.66 against a consensus estimate of $0.57, a beat of 15.79%, while revenue of $17.56 billion topped the $16.87 billion consensus by 4.09%, even as tota… Read more Pfizer closed Q4 2025 with a stronger-than-expected performance, posting adjusted diluted EPS of $0.66 against a consensus estimate of $0.57, a beat of 15.79%, while revenue of $17.56 billion topped the $16.87 billion consensus by 4.09%, even as total sales slipped 1.2% year-over-year. The headline numbers masked a deeper strategic shift: Pfizer's post-COVID pivot gained tangible traction this quarter, with non-COVID portfolio revenues growing 9% operationally, driven by standout contributions from Abrysvo, up 136%, Lorbrena, up 45%, and the Vyndaqel family, up 7%. Comirnaty and Paxlovid, however, declined 35% and 70% operationally, respectively, underscoring the uneven transition. On a GAAP basis, a net loss of $1.65 billion reflected $4.40 billion in non-cash impairment charges tied to pipeline revisions. Looking ahead, Pfizer reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $59.50 to $62.50 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.80 to $3.00, with approximately 20 pivotal trial starts planned, including ten obesity assets from the Metsera acquisition.
Key Takeaways
- • Non-COVID portfolio operational revenue growth of 6% for full-year 2025 and 9% for Q4
- • Strong growth from Vyndaqel family driven by demand and uptake in patient diagnosis
- • Eliquis growth from higher demand globally and favorable IRA-related pricing in the U.S.
- • Abrysvo launch uptake for adult and maternal indications in international markets
- • Oncology biosimilars growth driven by favorable net price in the U.S.
- • Lorbrena growth from increased first-line ALK+ mNSCLC patient share
- • Padcev growth from increased market share in first-line urothelial cancer
- • Cost reduction initiatives and financial discipline driving strong EPS performance
- • Cost of sales as percentage of revenues improved by 3.2 percentage points in Q4
PFE Forward Guidance & Outlook
Pfizer reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial guidance: revenues of $59.5 to $62.5 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.80 to $3.00. The guidance reflects approximately $5 billion in expected COVID-19 product revenues and an anticipated $1.5 billion negative revenue impact from loss of exclusivity. Adjusted SI&A expenses are guided at $12.5 to $13.5 billion, adjusted R&D expenses at $10.5 to $11.5 billion, and effective tax rate on adjusted income at approximately 15.0%. The guidance incorporates the anticipated unfavorable impact of Most-Favored-Nation drug pricing, TrumpRx, and currently imposed tariffs, and assumes diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 5.74 billion with no share repurchases. Approximately 20 key pivotal trial starts are planned for 2026, including ten for ultra-long-acting obesity assets from Metsera and four for PF-08634404 (PD-1 x VEGF bispecific antibody from 3SBio).
