AbbVie vs. Pfizer: Which Healthcare Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
AbbVie has successfully diversified beyond its blockbuster Humira with strong immunology drugs (Skyrizi and Rinvoq), while Pfizer is leveraging its cash position to build oncology and GLP-1 pipelines. Despite AbbVie's stronger growth trajectory, Pfizer offers better valuation metrics with lower P/E and P/S ratios, making it the preferred choice for long-term value investors willing to wait for new product launches.
Cencora Raises 2026 EPS Outlook as Specialty Businesses Strengthen
Cencora (COR) raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $17.75-$17.95 following stronger-than-expected third-quarter results. The company's U.S. segment profit grew 15.9% driven by specialty sales and GLP-1 demand, while international operating income rose 20.8%. However, headwinds from lower-margin GLP-1 products, manufacturer price reductions, and higher financing costs tempered upside. The stock maintains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating.
Is Generics Still a Quiet Profit Engine for Cardinal Health?
Cardinal Health's generics business continues to be a steady profit contributor, with fiscal 2026 volume growth exceeding long-term planning assumptions of 2-3%. The company expects fiscal 2027 to benefit from new generic launches, brand-to-generic conversions, and stable Red Oak program dynamics, supporting projected Pharma segment profit growth of 8-11%. Peers McKesson and Cencora also show strength in their pharmaceutical distribution and generics portfolios.
