Pfizer stock dividends

Pfizer dividend payout ratio: 53.75% of net profits

Recently Pfizer has paid out, on average, around 53.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.81% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Pfizer shareholders could enjoy a 6.81% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Pfizer's case, that would currently equate to about $1.70 per share.

Pfizer's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Pfizer's most recent dividend payout was on December 1, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by November 7, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Pfizer stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Pfizer stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Pfizer's P/E ratio

  Pfizer's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 15x. In other words, Pfizer shares trade at around 15 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

• Pfizer's PEG ratio

  Pfizer's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 13.7954. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Pfizer's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Pfizer's EBITDA

  Pfizer's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $24.5 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Pfizer stock ever split?

Pfizer's stocks were split on a 1054:1000 basis on November 16, 2020. So, if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1054 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Pfizer stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 5.1% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Pfizer stocks, which in turn could have impacted Pfizer's stock price.

How volatile is Pfizer stock?

Over the last 12 months, Pfizer's stocks price has ranged from $19.83 to as high as $27.21. Pfizer's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.43. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. This would suggest that Pfizer's stocks are less volatile than average (on this exchange).
