What Have Pfizer Stock Holders Really Earned?

The dividend is probably the reason investors hold Pfizer (PFE), the maker of medicines such as Eliquis and Padcev. The stock yielded 5.8% at the October 19, 2026 close. Over the past five years, though, the share price has fallen far behind the S&P 500. So take a guess: once every dividend is counted, how did five years of owning Pfizer turn out next to the market.
