NEUTRAL IMPACT
Pfizer's short interest has increased, but it remains below the peer group average. This could indicate bearish sentiment but isn't a definitive predictor of immediate stock price movement.
While the increase in short interest suggests that some investors are expecting the price of Pfizer's stock to fall, the fact that it is still below the peer group average means that the sentiment is not overwhelmingly bearish. Additionally, short interest alone is not a reliable indicator of immediate stock price direction, and the article suggests that increasing short interest can sometimes be bullish.
