Equal Weight

Reason

Morgan Stanley analyst Terence Flynn lowered the firm's price target on Merck to $98 from $99 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Year-to-date, large cap pharma and biotech companies have both underperformed given the macro environment, while multiple areas of policy uncertainty remain, including drug pricing dynamics, tariff and transfer pricing exposure, and FDA staffing changes, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason

BMO Capital analyst Evan Seigerman lowered the firm's price target on Merck to $82 from $89 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares after its Q1 results and FY25 guidance cut. The firm warns that further Gardasil headwinds complicate Merck's potential to regain its footing, adding that while the FDA labeling changes are unlikely, ACIP recommendation changes could meaningfully negatively impact long-term U.S. revenue, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
