Merck (MRK) has been in spotlight with several noteworthy updates. Promising results have been observed from Phase 3 CORALreef Lipids Trial of its potential antibody drug Ifinatamab Deruxtecan, which also gained Breakthrough Therapy designation. The research continues to advance in its pipeline with focus shifting back to its cholesterol drug data which impressed in a new trial. However, recent market sentiments towards MRK have been mixed, although stock has managed to achieve a 6-day gain streak with 6.1% return. Its valuation is also in spotlight following the FDA breakthrough designation, pipeline advances and cost-cutting plans, creating potential for estimated 40% stock upside. Despite a recent slump after Q2 results which left investors questioning the stock prospects, the company remains focused on oncology milestones in its late-stage pipeline. MRK shares are also gaining investor attention with positive outlook from analysts and its resilience illustrated in the broader market fluctuations. Yet, concerns over its Keytruda dependency and potentially antitrust action regarding the Verona deal lingers. MRK has also been highlighted as a value stock for the long haul, while showing strong results in HYPERION trial.
