Pfizer's Low Price, High R&D a Proven Formula:

"There are eight molecules presently in so-called Phase III, or final, clinical trials. Four of these are new uses for existing medicines. The company is widely expected to use its cash stockpile to purchase developmental drugs or entire companies in the coming years. And the stock turned up recently in a search for big drug makers that spent more money on research and development over the past year than they had the year before, and that carry "price/R&D ratios" of below 20. Normally investors look for earnings growth and low price/earnings ratios to find promising stocks, but for drug and technology companies, research spending may be thought of as earnings that have yet to materialize. Studies have shown a strong link between stock performance and both low P/R&D ratios and increased R&D spending"
