Merck & Co has been prominent in the news cycle, displaying both strength and potential weaknesses. Despite strong fundamentals, its stocks have been described as acting like a value trap. Its shares trading below the 50-day moving average and insider selling are suggestive of possible turbulence ahead. Even though their Q4 2024 earnings report is highly anticipated, caution should be exercised as major lags were noticed in sales of its production - Januvia and Gardasil. The company's stock has surged amid acquisition news. Despite this, it was reported that Merck's stock was down more than 14% in 6 months, raising questions of whether to buy, sell or hold. The stock, championed by analysts as among the best low volatility, Dow, and Immunotherapy stocks to invest in, is currently being heavily searched by investors. This may be due to its reported 79% ownership by institutional investors. However, caution is advisable as insider selling and patent concerns have raised eyebrows.
