Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pipeline that has a lot of potential. The oncology, RA, and biotech portfolios are really making inroads and will have a significant impact on patient treatment.

Cons

Constant downsizing & restructuring leaves you always wondering when you'll be next to go. Pfizer still seems unprepared for Lipitor patent cliff.
