Merck & Co. (MRK) has made a series of headlines that depict a range of investor sentiments. Its decision to enter the
obesity drug race with a pact with Chinese pharma company,
Hansoh, has attracted attention, while being named
America's Most Responsible Company for the second year running further bolsters its image. There is an ongoing debate on whether Merck's current stock value is
undervalued, with many analysts advocating for its affordability as an investment, particularly for beginner investors. Hedge funds have been consistently bullish on Merck, believing it to be a promising investment, especially within the
cancer and
immunotherapy sphere. There is a growing interest in Merck as an
undervalued quality stock and its
strong institutional backing is also considered as a positive sign. However, the share price has experienced several drops triggering concerns among investors. The company was faced with some demand headwinds in China and had to cut its guidance due to
patent concerns and
earnings forecast cuts. Nonetheless, the recent signing of a $3.3 billion
bispecific antibody deal with LaNova Medicines has again sparked interest in the stock.
