Merck & Co., Inc has been making impressive strides recently with a $9.2 billion
acquisition of Cidara Therapeutics, showcasing their commitment to expand and strengthen their presence in the biotech industry. This move is anticipated to bring
strategic growth and create a win-win situation for both companies. Following the announcement, Cidara's stock surged by 42%, highlighting the market's positive reception. Merck continues to fortify its position with evidence of steady gains, recently recording six consecutive days of stock gains amounting to an impressive 10% return. Moreover, they have exhibited strong third-quarter earnings in 2025 thanks to robust
oncology sales. Despite some sales of key products falling short of estimates, a prominent executive selling thousands of shares, and a slight dip in their stock, the company's shares remain an attractive prospect, attributed to promising Phase 3 data for oral cholesterol drug, Enlicitide and Q3 outperformance. Notably, Merck's FDA breakthrough has been touted as a game-changer, and their shares have gapped up following an earnings beat. Despite some firms trimming their holdings, many others bought Merck shares, showing confidence in its potential.
