Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) reported second-quarter 2026 earnings on Aug. 4, 2026, that exceeded Wall Street adjusted estimates. The company raised the midpoint of its full-year revenue guidance, reflecting strength in non-COVID and oncology sales despite posting a quarterly net loss.

Quarterly Results and Guidance Update

Pfizer’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter ended June 2026 was $0.77, surpassing analyst expectations of $0.68, according to the company’s press release. Revenue increased year-over-year, but the company recorded a net loss for the quarter, highlighting a divergence between its GAAP results and adjusted performance.

The company raised its 2026 revenue guidance by $500 million at the midpoint, revising the full-year range to $60.5 billion–$62.5 billion from $59.5 billion–$62.5 billion. Pfizer reaffirmed its adjusted diluted EPS guidance, which includes an approximate $0.10 per-share impact from the Innovent Biologics transaction.

Business Mix and Segment Performance

Growth in launched and acquired non-COVID products, particularly in oncology, helped offset declines in Pfizer’s COVID-19 portfolio. This shift in the business mix underpinned the company’s decision to raise revenue guidance, signaling progress in diversifying its revenue streams beyond COVID-related products.
