Merck & Co. Inc. has experienced a barrage of trading variances, both positive and negative. Shares were bought in large quantities by
SG Americas Securities LLC and
Empowering Funds LLC. Despite underperforming compared to competitors on multiple occasions, it also had days of outperforming them.
Q2 earnings are being closely watched, as there were several instances of the stock rising and falling. Merck stock fell following the
unexpected FDA rejection and the failure of a hopeful cancer drug, triggering a drop in Merck KGaA shares. However, positive developments include the FDA approval of the
arterial-hypertension drug resulting in a stock rally, and a rise in its shares after quarterly earnings beat expectations on strong
Keytruda and vaccine sales. Merck also completed the acquisition of
EyeBio and scored its latest approval contributing to the stock pop. However, the financial prospects of the company were frequently deemed bleak, suggesting potential for share price correction. Merck successfully obtained exclusive rights to
Opevesostat from its partner.
