Pfizer Inc (PFE US, +1, 13-Aug-26)

Albert Bourla (Chairman & Chief Executive Officer since Jan 2020, first joined 1993) bought 38,000 shares on August 12th at $26.34, spending $1 million. The purchase increases his holdings by 10% to $11.6m. He has been with the company for 33 years and has been a reportable insider since 2014, but this is his first reported purchase. 

His recent activity consists of exercising an option near expiration and surrendering the required amount, thereby letting his ownership grow. We ranked this stock +N a week ago based on $1 million purchases from Mortimer Buckley (Director since 2024) and Ronal Blaylock (Director since 2017). It was Buckley’s first purchase, Blaylock’s third and largest. These are three confident purchases in a stock that has traded in a narrow range for 18 months. 

We are upgrading the stock further, from +N (moderately positive) to +1 (strongly positive).
