The past months have experienced a flux of sentiment towards
Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK). The pharma company's stock has seen recommendations from billionaire
Ken Fisher as a defensive investment and aligns among the highest-paying dividend stocks in the
Dow Jones. There were instances of Merck hitting a 52-week low of
$80.74, but the stock continues to attract attention as a potential bargain buy. Equating the stock's volatility, it was seen to plummet 9% following its beat of quarterly forecasts. Class action suits have come its way with shareholders suffering losses seeking recovery. On the bright side, the stock remains undervalued according to analysts and had seen insiders piling in recently. Concerns about the company's
Gardasil product has led to a tumble, but the stock remains a favorable investment option for dividend investors. The company announced deals like a
$2B heart disease drug rights deal in China, but weakness in outlook and Q4 results stir market uneasiness.
