Last Earnings Call

Q2 2026 · 4 Aug 2026
Full Transcript

Merck & Co., Inc. reported Q2 2026 revenue of $16.6 billion, representing 5% growth (4% excluding foreign exchange), which beat the analyst consensus estimate of approximately $16.35–$16.41 billion. The company reported a non-GAAP loss of $0.13 per share, significantly better than the consensus estimate of a loss between $0.23 and $0.26 per share.

Management raised and narrowed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $66.3 billion–$67.3 billion. The full-year EPS outlook was adjusted to $2.66–$2.76, reflecting significant one-time charges related to the acquisitions of Terns Pharmaceuticals and Cidara. CEO Rob Davis emphasized strong execution in Oncology and Animal Health, along with key regulatory wins like the approval of LIPFENDRA. The company remains focused on a long-term commercial opportunity exceeding $70 billion from its pipeline.

Market Reaction

Merck shares rose approximately 1.4% in premarket trading on August 4, 2026. Analysts primarily cited the company’s strong "clean" earnings beat, robust Oncology sales (particularly KEYTRUDA), and the upward revision to full-year revenue guidance as the key drivers for the positive investor sentiment.

Merck: 'Strong Buy' Lipfendra FDA First And Continued Oncology Expansions

Summary Merck & Co., Inc. maintains a Strong Buy rating, driven by robust oncology expansion and the launch of LIPFENDRA, the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor for hypercholesterolemia. The company's oncology pipeline advances with FDA acceptance of four regulatory filings, including ifinatamab deruxtecan, and strategic acquisitions like Terns to counter KEYTRUDA's 2028 patent expiry. LIPFENDRA targets statin-treated patients needing further LDL-C reduction, with peak sales potential estimated at $5 billion by 2034, strengthening MRK's cardiometabolic portfolio. Q1 2026 revenues grew 5% to $16.3B, led by Oncology and Animal Health, but risks remain around KEYTRUDA patent loss, new product launches, and regulatory outcomes.
