Pfizer Inc. stock (ISIN US7170811035) traded at USD 27.64 on September 17, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 157.51 billion and a 52-week range of USD 23.58 to USD 29.21. The shares finished the session 0.64 percent higher, while MarketBeat listed a consensus target of USD 28.39 and a Hold rating.

Q2 earnings still matter

Pfizer's latest reported quarter, posted on August 4, 2026, brought EPS of USD 0.77, which was USD 0.09 above the USD 0.68 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 15.03 billion, up 2.6 percent from the same quarter a year earlier and above the USD 14.40 billion forecast.

That combination keeps the valuation debate alive. Pfizer also set FY 2026 guidance at EPS of USD 2.80 to USD 3.00, and analysts on MarketBeat cited 21 research reports with 1 strong buy, 4 buy, 14 hold and 2 sell ratings.

Consensus stays cautious

For investors, the key point is the narrow gap between price and target. MarketBeat's average target of USD 28.39 leaves only limited room above the USD 27.64 quote, while GuruFocus said the stock traded at a 4.4 percent premium to its GF Value of USD 26.46.

That premium is small, but it is still a warning signal when paired with the 6.20 percent dividend yield MarketBeat lists for Pfizer. The stock is not far from its 52-week high of USD 29.21, yet it also trades above the 50-day moving average of USD 26.63.

Stock near resistance

Pfizer stock last traded at USD 27.64, with volume of 8.43 million shares, according to MarketBeat's September 17, 2026 quote data. The market cap stood at USD 157.51 billion on the same snapshot.
