Why Pharma Patents Expire and How Pfizer Is Handling the Cliff

from The Investing Podcast with Fexingo: Stocks, Bonds, and Building a Long-Term Portfolio · host Fexingo

Episode 20 of The Investing Podcast with Fexingo examines the 'patent cliff' that hits major drugmakers when blockbuster exclusivity ends. Lucas and Luna use Pfizer as a case study, noting that the company faces $17 billion in revenue at risk by 2030 as patents on Eliquis, Xtandi, and other key drugs expire. They break down Pfizer's strategy: cutting costs, leaning on its COVID vaccine franchise (Comirnaty), and pursuing targeted acquisitions. The hosts also touch on the broader market backdrop — the S&P 500 at 7,580 and energy stocks like ExxonMobil down over 6 percent in a week. A specific look at how pharma companies navigate the cliff, with numbers and timelines listeners can use. #Pfizer #PatentCliff #PharmaStocks #Eliquis #Comirnaty #DrugPatents #Investing #HealthcareStocks #DividendStocks #Biotech #MergersAndAcquisitions #CostCutting #RevenueAtRisk #S&P500 #EnergyStocks #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
