After leading Pfizer through the frantic race to develop the first FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine, CEO Albert Bourla has set his sights on a new, arguably more difficult moonshot. "We saved the world from Covid, now we'll save the world from cancer," Bourla told Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell, outlining the company's massive pivot toward oncology following the pandemic.

Pfizer beat earnings expectations decisively this morning, posting adjusted EPS of $0.87 against a $0.64 consensus and revenue of $16.65 billion versus $16.50 billion expected. The stock gapped up roughly 12.6% in pre-market trading, reflecting strong investor validation of both the beat and the company's reaffirmed full-year guidance paired with a raised EPS outlook.

Now, it no longer takes a lot of money to make money on Wall Street, as investors can buy fractional shares with as little as $5 or $10.

Sometimes, though, a low share price signals real opportunity.

Pfizer is the first big pharmaceutical company to reach an agreement with the Trump administration over most-favored nation drug pricing, a deal that lowers U.S. prices of certain medications and makes them available directly to patients through new online channels. The agreement announced Tuesday also gives Pfizer a grace period before facing potential tariffs on its drugs. With most-favored nation pricing, the prices of a drug in the U.S. will be matched to the lowest price of the same drug in a comparable developed nation.
