Merck has been in the spotlight recently with various factors contributing to the fluctuating performance of the company's shares. There have been significant advancements including the company's Keytruda drug scoring key victories in treating women's cancer, and the approval of its cardiovascular disease drug. On one hand, some entities believe that Merck is severely undervalued after strong earnings growth and represents a good pick for the long term, further supported by a surge in institutional ownership. However, there have been instances of insider selling, signaling potential careful observations. Additionally, fierce competition found Merck’s Keytruda losing out to a rival's drug in a trial. Merck's share also fell after disappointing results with their cancer drug hopeful, a guidance cut, and dropping Gardasil sales in China. The stock continually underperformed in the market despite minor gains and strong demand for top drugs. However, with the delaying approval expected for Winrevair and Merck's potential to be a strong blue-chip dividend stock, the company remains active in the investment arena.
