Eli Lilly stock rises 1.5% after pain drug gets fast track designation from FDA

Eli Lilly & Co. shares rose 1.5% in premarket trade Tuesday after the company said its pain drug with Pfizer Inc. has received fast track designation from the Food and Drug Administration, which is intended to hasten the development and approval of drugs for serious conditions. Pfizer shares were up 0.2% premarket. The drug, tanezumab, got the designation for chronic pain in patients with osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain. Tanezumab is currently in late-stage development, and results from clinical trials are expected to start being released in 2018, the companies said. If approved, the drug could be a much-needed new tool for doctors amid a national opioid crisis. The drug is also being studied in patients with cancer pain. Eli Lilly shares have dropped 3.9% over the last three months, and Pfizer shares have dropped 4.1%, compared with a 2.4% rise in the S&P 500 .

Most Dow stocks are below their 50-day moving averages

As the Dow Jones Industrial Average slips Wednesday below its 50-day moving average (MA), which many technicians use to define the short-term trend, 17 of its 30 components are also below their respective 50-day MAs. Of that total, shares of Boeing Co. and Merck & Co. Inc. are below their 50-day MAs after closing above them on Tuesday, while UnitedHealth Group Inc.'s stock was above its 50-day MA as recently as Monday. Of that total, Pfizer Inc. , Chevron Corp. , General Electric Co. , Intel Corp. , Verizon Communications Inc. , International Business Machines Corp. , Merck and Procter & Gamble Co. were also below their respective 200-day MAs, which are viewed as dividing lines between longer-term uptrends and downtrends. Exxon Mobil Corp.'s stock was below its 200-day MA, but was still above its 50-day MA. The Dow was down 237 points at 20743, below the 50-day MA at 20,783, but well above the 200-day MA at 19,547.

Pfizer revenue falls as drugs lose exclusivity

Pfizer Inc. Tuesday said revenue fell 2% in its latest quarter to $12.78 billion as some of the company's legacy drugs lost patent protection in various key markets, though executives also blamed one-time factors and voiced optimism about prospects for the year.

Pfizer revenue falls as drugs lose exclusivity

Pfizer Inc. Tuesday said revenue fell in its latest quarter as some legacy drugs lost market exclusivity. Shares of the company are down 1.1% in premarket trading. Pfizer said revenue in its essential health unit, which includes the antidepressant Pristiq and anti-epileptic drug Lyrica, fell 10% in the first quarter from a year earlier.

Pfizer reports Q1 profit beat, revenue miss

Pfizer Inc. reported a first-quarter profit beat and revenue miss early Tuesday. Earnings for the latest quarter rose to $3.12 billion, or 51 cents per share, from $3.04 billion, or 49 cents per share, in the year-earlier period. Adjusted earnings-per-share were 69 cents, compared with the FactSet consensus of 67 cents. Revenue rose to $12.78 billion from $13.01 billion, compared with the FactSet consensus of $13.09 billion. Pfizer said its latest results were affected by one less U.S. selling day and two fewer international selling days, compared to the year-earlier period. The latest results include some legacy operations from Hospira Infusion Systems, which Pfizer completed the sale of to ICU Medical in early February. Pfizer shares have surged 6.5% over the last three months, compared with a 4.7% rise in the S&P 500 .
