Company Of The Day: Pfizer
What?
Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and its German partner BioNTech intend to begin clinical trials for an updated version of their Covid-19 vaccine that targets the Delta variant of the Coronavirus.
Why?
The Delta variant apparently more transmissible compared to other strains of the virus. There are also concerns about the efficacy of the current generation of Covid-19 vaccines against the variant.
So What?
Pfizer and BioNtech are already generating windfall profits from their Covid-19 shot. Pfizer projects vaccine sales of $26 billion for this year – a conservative figure, in our view. With shots targeting new virus variants, the companies could keep their Covid vaccine sales going for a few more years.
