Pfizer Eyes IPO of Glaxo Consumer Venture in 3 to 4 Years

Leading biopharmaceutical company, Pfizer Inc., announces plans to launch an IPO of Glaxo Consumer Venture

Pfizer Inc. is one of the premier biopharmaceutical companies in the world and sources have it that the company is planning an initial public offering of its consumer-health joint venture with GlaxoSmithKline Plc in a couple of years as the two drugmakers turn back toward the lab.

The Chief Executive Officer of Pfizer, Albert Bourla, recently had a discussion about the time frame for the IPO at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. “The plan provides New York-based Pfizer with a clear exit strategy,” he said.

Pfizer is currently the biggest supplier of over-the-counter medicines in the world and will be one of the only standalones in the industry going against companies integrated into larger entities such as Johnson & Johnson, Bayer AG, and Procter & Gamble Co.

Grossing about $13 billion in annual sales, it brings under one roof different sub-brands, including Advil painkillers, Tums stomach tablets, Sensodyne toothpaste, and Nicorette gum.

Both Glaxo, which is the majority owner, and Pfizer, with about a third of the business, are looking to focus on drug development. Recent changes in the health-care business and in the broader economy have challenged the status quo where drugmakers control every corner of home medicine cabinets.

Big pharma companies are increasingly focusing on developing high-priced new medicines that draw on cutting-edge research in genetics and other fields. Similarly, the cost of researching new cures is on the rise even as insurers and governments demand lower prices.

On the consumer-health side, intense price competition online from the likes of Amazon and own-brand store products have dented margins in the U.S. and parts of Europe.

When the deal was announced, Glaxo said it expected a listing within three years of its close, which took place in August 2019.
