Starboard's Activist Campaign Against Pfizer

Starboard has initiated an activist campaign targeting Pfizer, fueled by concerns over the company's performance and lack of clear strategies for improvement. The campaign has involved a critique of Pfizer's leadership, particularly that of CEO Albert Borla, although specific demands have been vague. Starboard's presentation suggests accountability for executives and implies that Pfizer needs to enhance shareholder returns and business development efforts. However, criticism has emerged regarding the lack of innovative solutions in their strategy, raising questions about what concrete actions Pfizer can realistically take to recover from its current challenges.
