Walgreen, others sue Pfizer over depression drug
2011-12-02 04:58:00 Pfizer Inc and Teva Pharmceutical Industries Ltd were sued by Walgreen Co and four other large retailers, accused of violating U.S. antitrust law by conspiring to keep generic versions of a popular antidepressant off the shelves. Walgreen, Kroger Co, Safeway Inc, Supervalu Inc and HEB Grocery Co accused Pfizer?s Wyeth unit of conducting an ?overarching anticompetitive scheme? to prevent and delay the approval and marketing of generic versions of the prescription drug Effexor XR, causing them to overpay. In a complaint made public on Thursday by the U.S. District Court in Trenton, New Jersey, the retailers said Wyeth kept generic equivalents off the market for at least two years after its marketing exclusivity for the original Effexor compound patent lapsed in June 2008.

Healthy outlook for Pfizer (PFE)
2009-12-15 14:00:00 "I'm boosting my stake in Pfizer (NYSE: PFE); its merger with Wyeth created a firm with one of the broadest and deepest portfolios in the drug industry," says Ian Wyatt in The Recovery Portfolio."Like many of its peers, Pfizer faces massive patent losses on key drugs in coming years. Most notably, Lipitor, which is the largest selling anti-cholesterol drug in the world, loses U.S. patent exclusivity in 2011."But the addition of Wyeth's drug portfolio, coupled with an estimated $4 billion in merger synergies, should help Pfizer offset this loss. "And Pfizer's current share price already reflects the major risks faced by the company. Trading at only 8x estimated 2010 earnings, Pfizer's valuation is among the lowest in the entire pharmaceuticals universe. "The company's generous 3.6% dividend yield should also provide support for the stock, especially if 2010 turns out to be a listless, sideways-trending market."Finally, ...

Pfond of Pfizer (PFE)
2009-01-08 06:00:00 "We're not bullish on stocks until we see an improving economy; but if I had to choose a top pick for 2009, I have no problems choosing Pfizer (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=pfe) (NYSE: PFE (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=pfe))," says Alan Newman (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2699) in CrossCurrents (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2699)."Gi-ven a lousy environment for stocks in the last half of 2008 and what appears to be the same going forward for the year ahead, the only logical course is to choose a company that pays a generous dividend."That will reward us for whatever patience will be required for our investment holding period. Thus, Pfizer, with its hefty 7.5% yield, makes good sense."In a bear market such as now, there are always minuses to consider. Pfizer has recently announced that for the first time in 40 years, they are not raising their dividend."As well, Lipitor is the company's most succe...

Hard Drive Encryption Still Not Deployed Company-Wide At Pfizer: An Update
2008-05-14 08:04:00 Contrary to my ruminations the other day, the recently lost Pfizer laptop did have encryption, according to a Pfizer spokeswoman quoted in the Associated Press. However, a flash drive was also lost along with the laptop, which was not protected in any way. This wouldn?t be an issue except that sensitive information?names, addresses, phone numbers, salaries, etc.?we?re actually located in the flash drive and not in the laptop. The spokeswoman also mentioned that Pfizer is ?working to improve data security and privacy protection and encrypting laptops and desktops worldwide.? It looks like I may have the jumped the gun yesterday when I wondered when Pfizer would start employing full disk encryption. On the other hand, when I say full disk encryption, it actually means more than encrypting hard drives. Disks come in many forms and sizes, and as this case shows, it is paramount to approach data security in a holistic manner, trying to find the diffe...

2008-05-13 07:19:00 There are reports that Pfizer may be in another data breach maelstrom. According to theday.com, an employee lost a laptop, as well as a flash drive, with information on 13,000 employees at the pharmaceutical company. The breach itself occurred about a month ago. There were no details on how the breach itself occurred, nor what type of data protection system was installed. Pfizer has been in the news over information security breaches quite a few times over the past year. According to theday.com, this breach is the second this year, and the sixth since May of last year. Pfizer e-mailed affected employees to let them know that Social Security numbers were not part of the lost data, but that names, home addresses, phone numbers, positions, and salaries may possibly be compromised. Of course, while this may not be enough to carry out identity theft, it is enough information to possibly carry out some kind of phishing scam?if a criminal gets lu...

Will Ann Arbor's Pfizer Site Become Home for the Bill and Melinda Gates Fou
2008-04-22 05:19:00 There are rumors that the Foundation's Global Health Program may take over the siteThe Ann Arbor Pfizer site remains a hot community topic these days as rumors soar about potential interest in the real estate. One of the top executives of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Dr. Tadataka Yamada, made a "passing" comment regarding the Ann Arbor site during a live presentation and webcast last week. Pfizer spokespeople continue to deny any imminent deals on the table. Tadataka's comment was construed as a 'what-if' scenario. Pfizer suggests it will be a long time before they find a suitable replacement for the site. According to Michelle Milford (via mlive.com), on behalf of the deputy director of public affairs for the Gates foundation's Global Health Program: "Dr. Yamada was making a general point about the importance of pharmaceutical companies investing in research to benefit global health, he used the Ann Arbor facility as ...
Alan Hesketh - Pfizer Vice President Arrested On Felony Child Porn Charges

(The Weekly Vice) -- Alan Hesketh, the 61 year old global patent director and Vice President of Pfizer has been arrested by federal agents and charged with receiving, distributing and possessing child pornography. According to investigators, Hesketh posed as a 28 year old female under the name Suzibibaby, while trading hundreds of child pornography images that depicted children engaged in sexually explicit acts.Authorities say Hesketh logged onto the account (the profile seems to still be active), from both his home in Connecticut as well as other locations including an i.p address belonging to Pfizer of New York.According to authorities, Hesketh exchanged explicit child porn with another member who resides in Buffalo, New York where the investigation began. Federal authorities first seized two computers belonging to Gregory Nadolski, who admitted to receiving and sharing child pornography with other members online.

Will Forest City Enterprises Take Over the Ann Arbor Pfizer Complex?
2008-03-06 23:01:00 There are speculations the real estate giant may be moving inWith recent confirmation that Cleveland based Forest City Enterprises toured the Ann Arbor Pfizer plant last year, many are wondering if the site has found a new owner. Forest City has played down the visit suggesting they look at properties all over the country, all the time. They make no commitment to even having serious interest in the property. However, the Forest City Science and Technology division previously completed an overhaul on the 20-acre Skokie Illinois Pfizer site which will almost double the amount of jobs lost - so they are no stranger to Pfizer properties. Last year Pfizer announced plans to close shop and hired The Stauback Company to market and sell the property. It's not likely one large entity will utilize the whole complex. Mixed-use redevelopment is more probable. Pfizer's spokespeople are also keeping quiet. They want to avoid a premature 'stirring...

Blue chip value at Pfizer (PFE)
2008-02-06 07:00:00 "To play a short-term bounce in the market, we would focus on dividend-paying blue chip stocks," says Mark Skousen (ccount/click.php?id=1724). His Hedge Fund Trader Alert (ccount/click.php?id=1724) looks at Pfizer (quote.htm?sym=pfe) (NYSE: PFE (quote.htm?sym=pfe))."The cut in rates by the Fed is good for stocks because it makes it cheaper for companies and consumers to borrow. It also motivates investors to get out of low-yielding cash and into something that pays higher income."Given the skittishness of investors right now, a good place to be is in blue chip stocks with big dividends. That’s where the institutional investors are likely to flock for growth, and where individual investors will turn for income."One fine examples is Pfizer Inc. Pfizer, of course, is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. It develops and sells such well known prescription medicines such as Lipitor for elevated cholesterol, Zoloft for depression, Norvasc for hypertension, Celeb...

Pfizer profit and sales exceed forecasts
2008-01-24 11:01:00 By Ransdell Pierson NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc on Wednesday reported a higher-than-expected fourth-quarter profit, helped by lower taxes, a weak dollar and growing demand for its drugs for nerve pain, kidney cancer and smoking cessation. Earnings for the world's largest drug maker fell to $2.88 billion, or 42 cents per share, from $9.45 billion, or $1.32 per share, a year earlier, when Pfizer reported a big gain from the sale of its consumer health business to Johnson & Johnson. Excluding special items, earnings were 52 cents per share. Analysts on average had forecast 47 cents, according to Reuters Estimates. New York-based Pfizer raised the lower end of its 2008 profit forecast, which excludes special items, to $2.35 per share from $2.31 while keeping the top end at $2.45. Reuters Estimates' average earnings outlook was $2.35. Pfizer in the past year has cut more than 10,000 jobs and is paring other costs to keep earnings growing amid generic competition for severa...

2007-09-11 13:37:00 More than 34,000 Pfizer employees in the UK are at risk of identity theft after a security breach exposed their personal data. The pharmaceutical giant said that a former employee downloaded confidential information from a Pfizer computer system without the company's knowledge. The incident occurred late last year, but was only discovered by the company on 10 July, according to Pfizer spokeswoman Shreya Prudlo. Individuals were then notified more than six weeks later, on 24 August. Prudlo said that information did not appear to have been misused, and Pfizer was offering employees free credit checks as a precaution. The latest incident represented the third time since June that Pfizer has disclosed an employee data breach. Jay Heiser, vice-president at IT research firm Gartner, said: "A growing number of regulations are being placed on businesses to treat lost data as having been stolen, forcing companies to notify any individuals whose personal data might have been...
