Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) has seen a mix of fluctuating sentiments lately. The FDA rejected the Daiichi Sanyko-Tied Cancer Drug which saw the stock's price plunge but there are still individuals and institutions acquiring the organization's shares. Recent investments made by
Independence Bank of Kentucky, New England Research & Management Inc, and
West Coast Financial LLC are significant indicators of this. There are questions about whether the stock is fully valued at $130, while IBM has been suggested as a better pick over Merck. Investors appear more bullish on Merck as the week saw the stock climb 4.1%, whereas the financial prospects of the bio-tech organization appear shaky. This highlights a potential risk for shareholders.
Merck is also heavily dominated by institutional owners holding 78% of all shares. They have nonetheless seen a boost in their stocks because of a patent win against
Viatris and their arterial-hypertension drug receiving FDA approval. However, insiders sold a substantial amount of stock, suggesting potential weakness. Looking ahead, it is argued that Merck is still a top dividend stock, and a strong momentum stock for the long term.
