EV/EBITDA

The current EV/EBITDA of 7.5x means that for every dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), the company’s enterprise value (market cap plus debt minus cash) is $7.50 – a common way to gauge if a stock is cheap or expensive.

At 7.5x, this is far below the sector median of 13.9x, placing PFE in the 16th percentile among its peers, indicating it trades at a much lower multiple than most similar companies. Over the last eight quarters, the metric has been generally decreasing, though the year-over-year change is not available; quarter-over-quarter, it rose by 0.8% from 7.4x to 7.5x. The combination of a low EV/EBITDA relative to the sector and a declining long-term trend (with a recent slight uptick) could suggest a potential value opportunity, but investors should watch for whether the recent stabilization marks a reversal or a pause. This low valuation supports the case for opportunity, yet the overall NEUTRAL verdict balances it with other factors – the metric alone does not contradict the neutral stance, as the low multiple is offset by the lack of a clear uptrend.
