Shares of Pfizer decreased by 3.2% since the beginning of the year, fell by 1.65% on Tuesday after the company announced the results of the third quarter, which ended on September 30.
Pfizer reported a 4% drop in earnings per share (compared to the same quarter in 2019) to $ 0.72, but this was slightly higher than analysts’ estimates of $ 0.71. Total quarterly revenue fell to $ 2.2 billion from $ 7.68 in the 3rd quarter of 2019.
Total quarterly profit also fell 4% to $ 12.13 billion, below analysts’ average estimates of $ 12.32 billion.
In its report, Pfizer noted a 6% increase in sales of the anti-cancer drug Ibrance – up to $ 1.36 billion, which is higher than analysts’ estimates of $ 1.39 billion, despite increased competition from Verzenio with Eli Lilly.
