We like PFE! Pfizer Wins Viagra; Bumping Estimates

?? What’s new? District Court rules in Pfizer’s favor against Teva

Pfizer initially sued Teva for patent infringement on the ‘012 patent in March

2010. On Friday, the US District Court in Virginia ruled that Teva did not show the

‘012 patent to be invalid for obviousness nor for double-patenting, and that Pfizer

did not commit inequitable conduct. Thus, the patent is valid and enforceable until

October 2019 (excluding pediatric exclusivity).

?? Our takeaway: Upside to Pfizer, we had been expecting generics

The fact that Pfizer will retain Viagra until 2019 is a substantial positive and

counter to our expectations that Teva would enter sooner. We have updated our

model to reflect patent protection through 2019, which on its own represents an

upside in EPS of ~$0.08-0.12 per year through 2016. For now, we assume 50% of

this upside will flow to the bottom line, with the rest being reinvested in spending,

resulting in an increase of ~$0.04-0.06 per year in our numbers.

?? Thoughts on the stock: Further upside in an already undervalued stock

We believe PFE is undervalued and the Viagra win is substantial upside to our

existing numbers. We look for Apixaban data at ESC and Tofacitinib data at ACR

to be the major catalysts for the remainder of the year.

?? Valuation: We maintain our Buy rating and $23 PT based on our DCF

The implied P/E multiple from our DCF is 10x our 2012E EPS of $2.30.
