Forvia, a major automotive supplier for Stellantis, Volkswagen, Tesla, and Ford, plans to cut up to 10,000 jobs in Europe over the next five years as part of a cost-cutting plan to boost competitiveness. The company, which reported sales of €27.25 billion for 2023, aims to reduce its dependence on China and address overcapacity primarily in seating, interiors, and lighting.

Pfizer's Disappointing 2024 Forecast Sends Shares Tumbling

Pfizer's shares fell after the company provided a disappointing revenue and profit forecast for 2024, citing weak demand for its once-popular Covid products. The drugmaker expects 2024 revenue of $58.5 billion to $61.5 billion, below Wall Street's expectations of $63.17 billion. Pfizer's forecast suggests that revenue next year could decline or remain flat compared to 2023. The company also raised the target of its cost-cutting plan to $4 billion and expects $8 billion in revenue from its Covid products in 2024, significantly lower than analysts' expectations of $13.8 billion. Pfizer's stock has fallen over 40% this year and is trading below pre-pandemic levels.

Pfizer's Q3 Earnings Impacted by Paxlovid and Covid Vaccine Write-offs

Pfizer reported a narrower than expected adjusted loss for the third quarter, but recorded charges related to struggles with its Covid antiviral treatment Paxlovid and Covid vaccine. The company faced lower-than-expected use of Covid products, resulting in a $5.6 billion charge for inventory write-offs. Pfizer's revenue for the quarter was $13.23 billion, down 42% from the same period last year, primarily due to declining sales of its Covid products. The company's Covid vaccine sales were down 70% from the year-ago quarter, while Paxlovid revenue dropped 97%. Pfizer reiterated its full-year adjusted earnings and revenue guidance, which is significantly lower than initial projections, and announced a $3.5 billion cost-cutting plan. The company aims to shift investor focus towards its non-Covid drugs, recent product launches, and growth opportunities such as mergers and acquisitions.
