2. Pfizer (PFE)
Pfizer is another famous name in the healthcare industry. You’ve probably bought their over-the-counter drugs at your local pharmacy or seen their ads on television. Some of their most well-known products include Advil, Robitussin and Viagra. They’re the world’s second-largest publicly traded company with a market capitalization of $200.46 billion. They are also a leader in the biotechnology sector. The company has its roots in 1849 when two cousins and German businessmen started a chemical business in Brooklyn, New York. They also supplied citric acid to major beverage companies, Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi, which led to their growth. Its merger with Warner-Lambert in 2016 added popular products like Listerine and Schlick shaving products to its lineup.
