What's Driving PFE's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
AI-extracted from PFIZER INC's 10-Q filed 2026-05-05 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 29, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
Pfizer Q1 2026 revenues rose 5% to $14.5B, driven by strong growth in Padcev, Eliquis, and oncology biosimilars, partly offset by declining COVID-19 product sales.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $14.5B+5% YoY
Operational increase of 2% driven by Padcev, Eliquis, Oncology biosimilars, and Nurtec ODT/Vydura growth, offset by COVID-19 product decline.
Within Biopharma
Decline primarily due to lower COVID-19 product revenues and lower Prevnar vaccination rates, partially offset by Eliquis growth.
Growth driven by Padcev strong uptake, Lorbrena increased market share, and Ibrance despite pricing pressure.
Growth primarily from Vyndaqel strong international demand and Xeljanz increased uptake.
Growth from higher manufacturing of third-party products and higher active pharmaceutical ingredient sales.
Largest Expense Items
Increase primarily due to non-recurrence of favorable 2025 royalty accrual revision and $285M unfavorable forex impact.
Increase driven by $180M higher spending on certain oncology and obesity product candidates.
Decrease reflects lower restructuring activity versus prior year cost-reduction initiatives.
Margins: Gross margin declined as cost of sales increased 25% driven by non-recurrence of a favorable 2025 royalty revision and unfavorable foreign exchange, while revenues grew only 5%. Operating margin pressures were partially offset by lower restructuring charges and SG&A expense reductions from productivity improvements.
Watch Items from the Filing
- Metsera acquisition of $8.0B completed November 2025 with contingent value rights up to $2.3B tied to development milestones; one-time integration costs expected ~$700M through 2027.
- Patent exclusivity expirations expected to reduce revenues by ~$1.5B in 2026, with rate accelerating significantly 2026-2030 as multiple in-line products lose protection.
- Eliquis benefited from 8% operational revenue growth but now faces Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program negotiated price effective January 2026; Ibrance and Xtandi negotiated prices follow 2027-2028.
