Oracle Corporation (ORCL), Pfizer Inc. (PFE): Here’s What This Huge 737% Gainer Has Been Buying and Selling

Yacktman Asset Management reduced its stake companies such as needle and syringe maker Becton, Dickinson and Co. (NYSE:BDX), which recently appeared reasonably priced to my C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRW)uck Saletta. Yielding 1.9%, it has been paying dividends for more than 40 years and it has been reducing its share count via buybacks. Bulls look to growth in emerging markets and new products such as prefilled injectibles, while bears worry about ObamaCare-related taxes and pressured margins.

Finally, Yacktman’s biggest closed positions included Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) and The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU). (A few shares of Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) remain, but Yacktman sold some 99% of its position.) Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) has been posting sluggish revenue growth numbers lately, but many of its other numbers are quite impressive, such as rising profit margins and solid free cash flow growth. It yields 3.3%, too. Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) recently announced plans to reorganize itself internally into three units, and has some wondering whether this is the beginning of a bigger breakup. Meanwhile, the company is buying back many shares.
