Better High-Yield Dividend Stock: Pfizer or Novo Nordisk?

Both Pfizer and Novo Nordisk face significant dividend safety concerns despite high yields. Novo Nordisk (4.7% yield) leads in GLP-1 drugs but has lost market share to Eli Lilly and lacks portfolio diversity, while Pfizer (6% yield) faces patent expirations and R&D challenges. However, Pfizer's broader product portfolio and acquisition strategy make it the relatively safer choice for dividend investors, despite both stocks carrying material risk.
