‘Pfizer (PFE:NYSE - news - research - Cramer’s Take) said Friday that 2006 will yield flat sales and slightly lower earnings per share, but the drug giant indicated that its top-line growth should resume in 2007 as new drugs more than offset the loss of patents on its existing medications.

The company is looking for what it calls an adjusted profit of about $2 a share this year, excluding items, or $1.52 to $1.56 when calculated using generally accepted accounting principles.
