Pfizer fell as much as 6% on Tuesday after its recent deal with Mylan prompted a handful of banks to downgrade the stock.

Several Wall Street analysts noted that the company's decision to merge Upjohn - Pfizer's off-patent drug business - with Mylan may weaken earnings expectations. The spin-off was announced July 29 after Mylan agreed to the deal in its second-quarter earnings report.
