Pfizer & Wyeth

Now that Pfizer (PFE) and Wyeth (WYE) are getting together, I wanted to take a quick look at the long-term performance of both stocks. They’re done pretty well. Since the beginning of 1982, Pfizer’s stock is up 1,346.4% while Wyeth is up 875.4% (neither figure includes dividends). For comparison, the S&P 500 is up 589.1%.

Interestingly, both stocks peaked nearly ten years ago on the same day, April 12, 1999.
