U.S. drug manufacturers to have upbeat quarter By Stephanie O'Brien, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 2:34 PM ET Apr 14, 1999 Also: NewsWatch NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. pharmaceuticals makers should see higher first-quarter earnings, with many widely held large-cap companies expected to post double-digit gains. Higher earnings are being driven by strong U.S. sales of pharmaceuticals, said Jeff Chaffkin, an analyst at PaineWebber. "There's been very strong unit growth in U.S. prescriptions," spurred by strong flu-season sales, Chaffkin said. Also, "significant new products have stimulated demand," which has enabled drug companies to charge higher prices, he said. One of the biggest winners is likely to be Pfizer (PFE: news, msgs), Chaffkin said. Pfizer is expected to post a profit of 62 cents a share in the quarter, according to 30 analysts surveyed by First Call. Chaffkin estimated that revenue will be up 24 percent and earnings per share will increase by 29 percent from the year-ago period. Stronger Pfizer sales have been driven by the hypertension drug Norvasc, the antibiotic Zithromax and the allergy drug Zyrtec, Chaffkin said.
