Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) has appeared multiple times amongst top stock picks for billionaires such as Ken Fisher and Cliff Asness, signalling strong potential for investment. Despite experiencing a reduction in profit outlook due to an expected $200 million tariff hit, Merck has shown promise in the stock market with consistent gains and an optimistic Q1 beat. While the pharmaceutical giant has had its downsides such as Gardasil stagnation in China and Japan and even a considerable loss of almost $52B in a span of 6 months, there are also high expectations for the next quarter earnings, with Wall Street analysts urging investors to buy. The biotech company is renowned for its innovation in healthcare stocks. Recently, MRK has displayed strong results for its cancer drug, KEYTRUDA, during a trial exposed at the AACR 2025 meeting. Amidst slipping 7% in share price, Merck has successfully acquired EC's approval for CAPVAXIVE. It also boosted its presence in China with a $2B deal on heart disease drug rights. Down the line, despite its currently lowered guidance outlook for 2025, the corporation remains a top dividend contender.
