In the first half of this year, Pfizer increased its acquisition of AstraZeneca several times, but the tenacious AstraZeneca management resisted the pressure and finally let Pfizer's acquisition plan fail AstraZeneca's share price rose rapidly, which seemed to compensate for AstraZeneca's efforts However, for Pfizer, the share price also fell after the failure of the acquisition plan In fact, many analysts are not optimistic about the deal, because another acquisition by Pfizer means another increase in price The final increase in the last acquisition invitation was 117 billion yuan, which is "too expensive" for Pfizer at present It's rainy every night Pfizer's recent life is not easy According to the financial reports of major pharmaceutical companies in the first half of this year, Novartis has replaced Pfizer as No.1 in the pharmaceutical sector, and Pfizer ranks second In fact, the good performance of Roche will also threaten Pfizer's second position.
