Question: How did Pfizer's gross margin change between the quarters ending June 30, 2024, and July 2, 2023?
Answer: Pfizer's gross margin for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, was $9,983 million, compared to $9,770 million for the quarter ending July 2, 2023. This reflects an increase of $213 million or 2.18%, indicating a slight improvement in profitability.
Gross margin = Total revenues - Cost of sales
For June 30, 2024: 13,283 - 3,300 = 9,983 million
For July 2, 2023: 13,007 - 3,237 = 9,770 million
Change = 9,983 - 9,770 = 213 million
Percentage change = (213 / 9,770) * 100 = 2.18%
