Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) stock has been experiencing a remarkable surge, recording a
40% jump at some point. Several reasons led to this string of positive outcomes for the company. The
upgrades from notable names such as
Wells Fargo and
BofA, who raised the price target to $105, played significant roles in boosting the stock price. Further, Merck’s
oncology pipeline has stirred excitement amongst investors, justifying the 21% price surge the stock attained.
It's equally noteworthy that the company’s stock position has been raised periodically in recent times. For instance, Financial Institutions like
J.W. Cole Advisors Inc,
Laurel Wealth Advisors LLC, and
Thornburg Investment Management Inc all raised their possession of stock in Merck.
Merck's recent impressive clinical results and strong drug sales from Q3 have further solidified its position, deeming it a
strong growth stock. A noticeable case is Keytruda-Padcev Combo, which won an FDA nod for bladder cancer, contributing to the 9.6% increase in the stock's value.
The company's consecutive positive performance in the market and solid fundamentals provide a bullish outlook for MRK long term.
