What the Analysts think about Merck & Co.
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Merck & Co. stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The U.S. FDA approved a new subcutaneous formulation of Keytruda, called Keytruda Qlex, which provides one-to-two minute injections, improving patient convenience and clinic efficiency while extending market exclusivity for Merck's top-selling immunotherapy ahead of its 2028 patent expiration (Reuters).
Merck is in advanced talks to acquire London-based Verona Pharma for about $10 billion, gaining Ohtuvayre—a recently approved inhaled COPD treatment that made up 96% of Verona’s Q1 revenue—further diversifying Merck’s portfolio beyond oncology (Reuters).
Merck’s Q1 adjusted profit increased 7% to $5.61 billion, or $2.22 per share, surpassing analyst expectations despite a 2% revenue drop. The quarter included 5% growth in animal health and $280 million from the launch of its new lung disease drug Winrevair (Reuters).
Merck announced job cuts and cost-saving measures targeting $3 billion in annual savings by 2027, citing ongoing weakness in Gardasil vaccine demand in China. Q2 earnings fell 7% and Gardasil sales dropped 55% year-over-year (Reuters).
Merck slightly narrowed its full-year revenue guidance to $64.3 billion–$65.3 billion in its Q2 results, signaling reduced top-line visibility due to pressures from vaccines and tariffs (Reuters).
Merck lowered its adjusted EPS forecast for 2025 to $8.82–$8.97, down from previous guidance, after including $200 million in U.S. tariff costs and a licensing charge, reflecting margin pressure from geopolitical and partnership-related expenses (Reuters).
