Briefing

Pfizer delivered strong Q4 2024 results, reporting $17.8 billion in revenue, a 21% year-over-year operational increase. Adjusted EPS was $0.63, up from $0.10 in Q4 2023. Growth was driven by increased sales in oncology, Eliquis, and the Vyndaqel family, though partially offset by a decline in Comirnaty revenue.
