Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 92

A caller asked if Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) “is dead money” and Cramer replied:

“Is Pfizer dead money? I mean I think it’s been mummified. I don’t know. I mean it’s like, wow. Look at that thing. Close the casket… Alright, Pfizer is unfortunately dead money. Dr. Bourla’s a terrific guy… what can I say? He’s a terrific guy. He’s a terrific guy.”

Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) specializes in discovering, developing, producing, and distributing biopharmaceuticals. The company works in areas like cardiovascular health, infectious diseases, oncology, immunology, and vaccines. On February 19, Cramer said:

“[on Pfizer suffering from Trump’s pharma tariffs] Last night I had Jabil building Croatian plants, GLP. I think you have to kind of sort things out, in the end you want to do, you want to buy, you want to make it, for it, you want to make it in a country, for that country. And that’s where we’re going.

… I mean I know that we’re stunned by a lot of [inaudible] coming out of the White House. But a lot of it has happened before, a lot of it is a repetition and it’s been done to us. So I’m not saying that it isn’t a little bit odd the way it comes out. I am saying that every one of these at one time or another has occurred. Or has occurred to us. So I get it. I do think you have to make it there for there. Essentially Bourla didn’t mention that he offered to give the Chinese all the COVID vaccines they wanted. And they wouldn’t take it. I don’t know, I would have mentioned that in that interview.”
