- Its immunization approach is used by competitors
The entire world is watching Pfizer Inc.(NYSE: PFE) after the earth-shattering announcement about is COVID-19 vaccine. The pharmaceutical behemoth has announced an efficiency rate of 90% in achieving immunization in its vaccine candidate. The release came after a broad Phase 3 trial conducted with Germany's BioNTech.
Pfizer is the first company in the Western world to announce a vaccine. Russia's President Vladimir Putin previously told the world that his country registered the world's fist immunization, yet skeptics noted a lack of transparency.
However, while PFE is quoted higher, there is room for falls due to competition. Pfizer uses the same approach as three competitors: Moderan, AstraZeneca, and Johnson&Johnson. The success of the New York-based firm bodes well for its competitors. Moreover, they are all conducting their own Phase 3 tests and may announce results shortly.
While having an array of vaccines is good news for humanity and for broader markets, it may hobble Pfizer's stock price.
