georgeclerk/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images PFE's Strength Is Only Getting Started After years of covering Pfizer Inc. ( PFE ) stock, I'm glad to see PFE stock finally moving upwards despite the existing LOE risks, post-COVID revenue slump, and regulatory uncertainties for big pharma representatives. Seeking Alpha, my coverage of PFE I still like the firm's updated business model - the focus on aggressive capital reallocation toward high-growth niches like oncology and specialty care projects amid continuing cost-cutting and better R&D productivity driven by AI features. My bullish thesis remains unchanged for now: I believe Pfizer is likely to keep repricing higher as the high-growth projects start to commercialize (or at least they bring in certainties of upcoming commercialization). At today's valuation, the upside might be massive - my valuation model says PFE looks undervalued right now by ~23%, not counting the dividends. With all that said, I'm rating PFE stock as a Buy. Why Do I Think So? In early December 2025, in my most recent article on PFE, I wrote that the market is likely still wrong about the firm's prospects, pricing the stock too low on most valuation multiples. Since then, PFE went up by over 8.3% (total returns), while the S&P 500 ( SP500 , SPY ) lost about 2.19%, according to Seeking Alpha . There were some factors driving these gains, among which I see PFE's Q4 2025 results . The COVID portfolio kept crawling lower in terms of sales (-40% YoY), but the non-COVID operational revenues grew by +9% YoY in Q4, which was nice to see - this strength helped PFE offset most of the COVID-related losses, and that's why we saw a YoY decline in consolidated sales of less than 1.2%. Within the mix, recently launched and acquired products delivered $10.2 billion (in full-year 2025 revenues), so it was a 14% operational growth for the period. PFE's IR materials On the bottom line, despite the market's expectation of a YoY decline of over 9.5%, Pfizer manage...
Former Chelsea senior executive Christian Purslow believes the Premier League has been "way too generous" in its punishment of the club for making secret payments relating to transfers.

Former Chelsea senior executive Christian Purslow believes the Premier League has been "way too generous" in its punishment of the club for making secret payments relating to transfers. Chelsea were fined £10m and handed a suspended transfer ban after admitting making £47.5m in undisclosed payments to unregistered agents and third-parties between 2011 and 2018. The fine is the largest ever imposed by the Premier League but the club avoided any sporting sanctions, such as a points deduction. "I think this is the most serious thing to break in the Premier League for a long time," Purslow said on The Football Boardroom, external podcast. Purslow, a former managing director of Liverpool and Aston Villa chief executive, added: "I think the vast majority of people in the game... will view this as an extremely lenient and favourable outcome for Chelsea Football Club. "The level of mitigation that has been applied here is way too generous, and in my opinion very inconsistent with previous regulatory cases and sanctions." Purslow was head of commercial activities at Chelsea between 2014 and 2017, but insisted he had "nothing to do with the playing side". He added he was "shocked to see the scale of activity", and had never encountered any evidence of transfer-related payments during his career.

The auto industry bet big on electric vehicles, but now those ambitious goals are falling apart. Demand was already slowing down when Donald Trump took office and took an ax to pro-EV policy: the elimination of the federal EV tax credit, kneecapping clean energy, and bulldozing emissions rules. Tariffs have been taking their toll as well. And now US and European automakers are taking a bath on its EV investments, forcing them to readjust their model lineup.

Portman and Ruffalo join the English voice cast of this film about a time-travelling boy from Earth’s drowned future and a girl with a robot nanny This animated feature has lots going for it: expressive character design, a delicately melancholy musical score, and plenty of strong emotional beats, but the script is a touch too derivative for its own good. Not that little kids are likely to notice or care much about low-level plot-point larceny, and the youngest will be positively bewitched by the super-saturated palette that swirls rainbows all over everything. It’s like the animation equivalent of that classroom art-lesson trick where you hold a bunch of crayons at once to draw the seven rainbow colours of refracted light; the intensity gets to be a bit much after a while. Literally riding the rainbow here is title character Arco (voiced by Juliano Krue), a 10-year-old boy from far in the future, who longs to go travelling back in time like his big sister and parents. The older family members have to don a special rainbow-coloured cloak, powered by a sparkly diamond thingy in order to visit, say, the dinosaurs. They do this to gather resources because in the future the Earth is a drowned planet and people live on man-made platforms that are stacked up to the sky. Arco is legally too young to time travel, but he steals his sister’s kit to go rainbow-slaloming in the relatively primitive era of 2075, when most of the film takes place. Continue reading...

The Reform UK MP Lee Anderson has used his parliamentary office to record paid-for personalised messaging videos, in a possible breach of rules that prohibit the commercial use of the Palace of Westminster. Anderson, who had already been warned about commercial filming in Westminster, sold two videos filmed from what he called the “beating heart of democracy in Westminster” in early February 2025. Both were Valentine’s Day messages sold for £45 and £56 via the video messaging app Cameo, which enables the public to commission short clips from celebrities and public figures. A spokesperson for Anderson said he donated the money to charity. Anderson joined his party leader, Nigel Farage, on Cameo in July 2024, two days after he was elected as a Reform MP. Farage’s use of the platform has come under scrutiny after a Guardian investigation revealed he had recorded videos supporting a rioter, repeating far-right slogans, and endorsing a neo-Nazi event. Farage, who has made at least £374,893 from the platform in the last five years, also sold videos that contained misogynistic remarks and references to antisemitic conspiracy theories. Farage’s spokesperson said his Cameo videos should “not be treated as political statements or campaign activity”. They said he had recorded thousands of videos, adding: “At that scale, the occasional mistake can occur.” Compared with Farage, Anderson is a far less in-demand – and somewhat cheaper – figure on the platform. The Guardian only found 22 public videos produced by Anderson, compared with 1,794 from Farage over the same period. Two of Anderson’s videos were filmed from his taxpayer-funded parliamentary office, which could amount to a breach of rules prohibiting the commercial use of the Palace of Westminster. The Reform MP has already been found in breach of these rules, after he recorded a promotional clip for his GB News programme from the roof of the House of Commons. After the finding against him by the standards commissioner in ...

When sheriff deputies arrived at the scene of a late-night crash off a desolate Texas road in August 2024, they could see a giant pyre through heavy smoke. According to police reports detailing the events of that night, the officers tried to approach the vehicle, but the fire burned too intensely. They saw it was a Tesla Cybertruck and couldn’t see anyone inside. So they combed the surrounding area for the driver. As flames leapt more than 10ft high, one deputy attempted to use his fire extinguisher to combat the blaze, to no avail. When firefighters arrived, they tapped into a hydrant – but quelling the fire in the electric vehicle took time. The truck’s batteries kept reigniting. Once the blaze was finally out, officers cautiously inspected the Cybertruck. That’s when they discovered human remains. “The body inside was severely burnt and was completely unidentifiable,” one officer wrote in his report. “You could see a pelvic spine and ribcage laying across the front two seats, mostly in the passenger seat,” another wrote. In the aftermath of the fiery scene, officers found paperwork scattered near the vehicle on which was the name Michael Patrick Sheehan. He was a 47-year-old nurse practitioner who had owned the Cybertruck for just three months. As his widow and parents work to uncover what fully happened, a look at other cases bearing the same grim hallmarks might provide clues. The blaze in Baytown, Texas, was one of five known Cybertruck fires that the Guardian has tracked – a significant amount, considering the vehicle has only sold 60,000 units and debuted just two years ago. These incidents involve four fatalities, including the deaths of three college students in California, and have been the subject of three wrongful death lawsuits against Tesla. In a comprehensive look at fire danger, particularly of Cybertrucks, the Guardian has obtained hundreds of pages of police, fire and autopsy reports and court filings and company manuals, as well as interviewed la...

After testing puff pastry for the Filter a few weeks ago, I had loads of trimmings left over, which reminded me of one of my favourite zero-waste recipes. Malfatti are biscuits made from pastry offcuts, which are seasoned, rolled in seeds and spices, baked and served with cheese. Determined to create something new with all my excess puff, I realised that it would be perfect for making misshapen cheese straws. Even if you have only a few offcuts, I implore you to top them with cheese and some sauerkraut or kimchi, then twist and bake alongside a tart or pie. They’re a brilliant little cheeky snack. Cheese straw misfits Whether or not you use the kimchi, which I love in a cheese straw for its kick and complexity, these are a fun and delicious way to save even one pastry trimming from the compost bin. The more misshapen the pastry, the better, because, once filled, twisted and baked, the odd shapes come into their own by caramelising into moreish, cheesy treats. If you don’t have any kimchi or sauerkraut, or need a more child-friendly option, try a little salty Marmite instead. Puff pastry offcuts, any size or shape Kimchi or sauerkraut, to taste (optional) Grated cheddar or blue cheese, about 1–3 tsp per strip, plus extra for topping Milk, or leftover egg wash, for glazing Sesame seeds (optional) Chilli flakes (optional) Heat the oven to 220C (200C fan)/425F/gas 7, and line a baking tray. Lay out the puff pastry offcuts (don’t worry about their size or shape) in a single layer on a worktop or board, then spread a thin layer of kimchi or sauerkraut over half their total surface. Scatter over a little grated cheddar or crumbled blue cheese – you need only just enough to melt into the pastry layers. Fold each piece of pastry in half, press together, then twist and roll into rough, elongated shapes, so the ferment and cheese ripple through the layers. Arrange the straws in a single layer on the lined tray, then brush lightly with milk or any leftover egg wash, but only if...
AMD is preparing an update to its Ryzen 9000 series desktop processor lineup with the introduction of two new models, the Ryzen 7 9750X, and the Ryzen 5 9650X.

AMD is preparing an update to its Ryzen 9000 series desktop processor lineup with the introduction of two new models, the Ryzen 7 9750X, and the Ryzen 5 9650X. Both these chips are non-X3D (lack 3D V-Cache), and implement the regular "Zen 5" CCD with 32 MB on-die L3 caches. The two are being designed with increased clock speeds and TDP, and their launch closely follows Intel's recent product stack refresh with the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus.The Ryzen 7 9750X is an 8-core/16-thread chip with a base frequency of 4.20 GHz with 5.60 GHz maximum boost frequency, a significant increase over the 3.80 GHz base and 5.50 GHz maximum boost frequency of the Ryzen 7 9700X. The 9750X comes with a 120 W TDP out of the box. In comparison, the 9700X comes with 65 W TDP out of the box, and AMD allowed motherboard vendors to provide a BIOS-based 105 W TDP mode that doesn't break warranty, designed to improve boost frequency residency. The 9750X not only comes with increased clocks, but also increases the TDP further, to 120 W from that BIOS-based 105 W TDP mode.Next up, is the Ryzen 5 9650X. This is a 6-core/12-thread chip, and comes with a 4.30 GHz base frequency with a 5.50 GHz maximum boost, which are increased from the 3.90 GHz base and 5.40 GHz maximum boost frequencies of the current Ryzen 5 9600X. The chip has the full 32 MB on-die L3 cache available to the six cores, just like the 9600X does. There is no word on pricing, it's likely that the two will slightly displace the 9700X and 9600X, respectively, from their current prices.

Of all the concerns in the world, the demise of the Ferrero Rocher ambassador might not be top of the agenda. In days gone by, thanks to an excruciating TV advert, the chocolate with the golden wrapping was synonymous with the diplomatic circuit. You really had made it if you offered them up to your bejewelled and bemedalled guests. That was the 1990s. Almost all diplomats I have met over the years are very serious and very hardworking. They still must schmooze and dress up on occasion, but most of their time is spent trying to fathom out what’s going on and reporting that back to base, often from difficult places. Thanks to Donald Trump, the job has got a whole lot harder. The basic tenets of British foreign policy have been shattered. Yet many of the problems predate him and are self-inflicted. Brexit stares diplomats in the face every day, requiring rictus smiles when reminded of the decade-old decision. Its consequences are not just the obvious ones. One is the informal exchange of ideas and experience that occurred at various EU gatherings; now Brits must knock on the door. The so-called “reset” that Keir Starmer promised occurs in fits and starts. In keeping with his manner of governing, it frustrates all sides. Underlying it is a wider problem: the absence of a realistic strategy for Britain’s place in the world. A combination of hubris and underconfidence guided the relationships of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair and George Bush, and David Cameron and Barack Obama. (The Boris Johnson era was about managing humiliation.) Even under serious prime ministers, Britain luxuriated in its permanent membership of the UN security council, the Commonwealth and influential role within Nato. The first of those is now paralysed, and the second irrelevant. The third remains true, but it has not gone unnoticed that while Germany still aims in principle to reach the new target of 5% defence spending (including critical infrastructure) by 2029, and Poland and...

Oracle (ORCL) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term. Over the past month, shares of this software maker have returned +1.3%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +3.8% change. During this period, the Zacks Computer - Software industry, which Oracle falls in, has gained 1%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Revisions to Earnings Estimates Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. For the current quarter, Oracle is expected to post earnings of $1.32 per share, indicating a change of +10.9% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed 0% over the last 30 days. For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $6.18 points to a change of +11.2% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed -0.1%. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $6.97 indicates a ...

The Zacks Computer - Software industry, to which Oracle belongs, has gained 0.7% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Revisions to Earnings Estimates Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock. Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
