On June 10, Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) was upgraded by RBC Capital analyst Trung Huynh from ‘Underperform’ to ‘Sector Perform’. Mr. Huynh assigned the stock a price target of $25, indicating a downside of 5% from the current levels.

RBC noted that its overall investment outlook on Pfizer has not substantially changed. However, with the stock down by over 8% from its highs earlier this year and now trading at around 9-times forward earnings, the analyst firm believes that it offers a more balanced risk-reward profile.

RBC also highlighted two key catalysts for Pfizer – Sigvotatug vedotin in second-line lung cancer in mid-2026 and mevro in the latter half of this year. Moreover, the analyst highlighted the pharma company’s strong Q1 fundamentals that should support a potential 2026 guidance upgrade, as well as its robust dividend yield of 6.57%, which may help limit downside risk.
