On April 14, 2025, Pfizer's trading volume reached $13.65 billion, ranking 41st in the day's stock market.

(PFE) rose by 0.96%, marking two consecutive days of gains, with a total increase of 2.45% over the past two days.

Pfizer has terminated the development of its obesity pill, danuglipron, following a clinical trial participant experiencing signs of liver injury. This decision comes after the company had previously announced in 2023 that it would stop testing danuglipron as a twice-daily pill. The discontinuation of danuglipron adds to a series of setbacks in Pfizer's efforts to enter the growing market for GLP-1 drugs.

Pfizer's Chief Scientific Officer, Chris Boshoff, expressed disappointment over the discontinuation but emphasized that cardiovascular and metabolic diseases remain important areas of focus for the company. The company has decided to no longer continue research on the molecule danuglipron, shifting its focus to other potential treatments.
