Question:  How did Pfizer's cash and cash equivalents change between December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024?
Answer:  Pfizer's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, were $1,052 million, compared to $2,853 million as of December 31, 2023. This reflects a decrease of $1,801 million or 63.13%, indicating significant cash outflows during the period.
Calculation:
Change in cash = 1,052 - 2,853 = -1,801 million
Percentage change = (-1,801 / 2,853) * 100 = -63.13%
