What the Analysts think about Merck & Co.
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Merck & Co. stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Merck’s lead immuno-oncology drug, Keytruda, posted a 9% year-over-year sales increase to just under $8.0 billion in Q2 2025, thanks to expanded approvals for both early-stage and metastatic cancers (Reuters).
The U.S. FDA’s approval of Enflonsia (clesrovimab-cfor) for RSV prevention in infants marks Merck’s first RSV prophylactic effective regardless of weight, strengthening its pediatric vaccine lineup and providing a fresh growth driver for the 2025-2026 RSV season (Reuters).
Merck’s experimental oral PCSK9 inhibitor, enlicitide decanoate, achieved its main goals in two late-phase CORALreef studies by delivering meaningful LDL-C reductions, setting Merck up to enter the cholesterol management market as the first oral PCSK9 therapy (Reuters).
Merck’s Gardasil vaccine sales dropped 55% year-over-year to $1.1 billion in Q2 2025, mainly due to weak demand in China and a halt in shipments, signaling a major challenge for its vaccine division (Reuters).
Investors are worried about the looming loss of Keytruda’s patent protection in 2028, as Keytruda made up almost half of Merck’s 2024 revenue, and there’s uncertainty if new drugs in the pipeline can fully cover the expected decline (Reuters).
Even after cost reduction measures, Merck slightly lowered its 2025 full-year sales forecast to $64.3–$65.3 billion after a 2% drop in Q2 revenue, highlighting continued pressure on revenue growth and dependence on cutting costs (Reuters).
