In January 2025, Pfizer Inc. presented its strategic plans during the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference, highlighting significant transformations and financial maneuvers to counteract impending revenue declines. The company's CEO, Albert Bourla, reported that Pfizer had achieved $4 billion in savings and planned an additional $1.5 billion in margin improvements. With leadership changes affecting research and development for the first time in 15 years, the company aimed to revitalize its offerings amid market challenges. Despite a projected revenue drop of $17-18 billion from 2026 to 2028 due to loss of exclusivity for key products, Bourla expressed optimism about future growth driven by acquisitions. The growth is projected to offset revenue loss and expectations for consistent performance from COVID-19 therapies, reflecting a stabilization trend moving towards 2025. Lastly, the company underlined the importance of product launches and existing pipeline revenues to bridge the gap in financial outlook, even as market expectations vary.
