Yo Adrian! Pfizer's Fightin' Words: Trump Tariffs Throw a Haymaker at US Investment!

Gonna Fly Now...Or Maybe Not?

Listen folks it's your pal Rocky here comin' at ya from the streets! I gotta tell ya somethin' about this Pfizer situation. See their big cheese this Albert Bourla guy he's sayin' that these tariffs Trump's talkin' about are makin' it tough for 'em to put more money into buildin' stuff and doin' science y things here in the US. It's like I wanna run up those museum steps but somebody keeps trippin' me! Ain't nobody gonna feel like a winner when they are constantly reminded of the trade policy changes. I mean you gotta be willing to take some punches to win but too many and even a southpaw like me goes down.

Adrian! Where's the Certainty?

Bourla's talkin' 'bout how if he knew there wouldn't be these tariffs Pfizer could throw a whole lotta dough at R&D and makin' stuff right here in America. He's lookin' for 'certainty,' see? It's like tryin' to train for a fight when you don't know who your opponent is! You gotta know what you're dealin' with to be ready to rumble! It's like when Adrian wasn't sure about me and boxing. I needed her in my corner believing in me just like Pfizer needs a clear picture before they invest.

Tax Man Cometh...But Not with Presents!

This tax thing is kinda screwy. Bourla's sayin' that the tax rules used to make companies wanna build stuff overseas. Now with this global minimum tax thing it's changed. But he says even with the shift it ain't makin' the US super attractive especially if these tariffs are hangin' around like a bad smell. See it's not enough to just show up ya gotta be hungry and these taxes and tariffs make Pfizer feel full.

Knockout Tax Breaks?

Bourla's sayin' Trump would like to cut taxes even more especially for stuff made right here. He thinks that'd be a real shot in the arm for makin' stuff in the US. It's like givin' me a plate of spaghetti before a big fight! I could really use that energy! And Pfizer needs that extra push too; aint nobody investing when their pockets are getting punched.

No Full Year Forecast Revision But...

Now even though other companies are freakin' out over these trade changes Pfizer ain't changin' their plans for the year not yet anyway. But they did say that their predictions don't include any crazy tariff surprises. It's like sayin' you're ready for anything but you secretly hope Clubber Lang doesn't show up! It is so important to have the best and brightest for the future and that can only be achieved by setting up a level playing field.

Hidden Jab: The $150 Million Tariff Blow

Turns out Pfizer's already dealin' with some of Trump's tariffs! Their CFO Dave Denton said they're already coughin' up $150 million because of 'em! But they're still tryin' to stay positive and make the best of it. It's like when I got that beatdown from Drago I was still gonna go the distance! It all boils down to how hungry you are!
