THE RESULTS: Pfizer beat Wall Street’s fourth-quarter expectations for revenue and adjusted earnings per share, reporting $13.56 billion and 56 cents per share. Net income fell 59 percent to $2.57 billion.
THE PRESSURES: Generic competition continues to erode sales of drugs that once brought in billions, with another $3 billion in revenue losses expected in 2014. Income from partnerships is falling as a couple wind down. Unfavorable currency exchange rates add to that.
