Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) has been edging up and down in recent times. Despite ongoing
Gardasil 'woes' in markets like China and Japan, the stock has seen some gains due to promising data from a
cancer drug at a recent summit. Notwithstanding the upcoming earnings, Merck continues to be a favorite among prominent investors like
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
Ken Fisher, and
Prem Watsa due to its potential earnings performance. MRK took a hit following a cut in guidance due to weakness in China and tariff concerns, but managed to exceed expectations with stronger Q1 results. While facing headwinds like a patent suit from
Halozyme and increased market competition, Merck remains an appealing investment due to its attractive valuation and potential for long-term growth. Despite market gains, the stock has experienced slight drops resulting from
increased costs from tariffs and a pending class-action lawsuit. Despite this, with projected FY 2025
Adjusted EPS range of $8.82 - $8.97, investors continue to find value in MRK. However, investor sentiment remains cautious due to challenges such as increased scrutiny from investors and a recent dip in share price.
