NEW YORK (AP) — Pfizer says it may sell its animal health and nutrition
business in the next two years so it can focus on expanding its low-cost
pharmaceuticals unit.
Pfizer says it will also consider transactions including spinoffs and may
pursue different strategies for each business. It said any transactions
could take one to two years to complete.
The businesses brought Pfizer Inc. $5.5 billion in revenue in 2010, about 8
percent of its total. The Animal Health unit makes vaccines, medicines,
diagnostics and other items to prevent and treat diseases in livestock and
pets, and the nutrition unit makes infant and pediatric products.
The New York drugmaker say it will focus on its established products
business, which makes drugs that are off-patent or are losing patent
protection.
