Merck has been performing remarkably in the
stock market, backed by major catalysts stirring a recent 3.8% bump. The company's
Oncology wins and
strong share performance over the last five years have maintained its attractiveness. Important pipeline updates and a remarkable 18% stock jump also instigated a shift in valuation. Several asset management firms, like
Lazard Asset Management LLC and
BI Asset Management Fondsmaeglerselskab A S, have expanded their shareholdings in the company. Wells Fargo's upgrade of Merck stock to 'Overweight', raising the price target to $125, and Merck's FDA approval apparently have immense potential to be game-changers for the share price. The stock's robust presence above the SMA for 2 months further encourages investment. On another note, some key products have undershot estimates, causing a slump. However, impressive clinical outcomes and potential financial growth due to dividend increases and drug approvals propelled the stock again. The successful collaboration with
Cidara Therapeutics on the $9.2 billion deal and Merck's PAH drug
Winrevair meeting its goal in multiple studies contribute positively to the future outlook.
