Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) Valuation
Rating: Fairly Priced (Mid)
12-Month Fair Value: $87 – $112 – $139
Confidence: LOW
Merck faces pharma's single-largest patent cliff in history. Keytruda ($31.7B, 49% of revenue) loses exclusivity 2028-2029. At $118, the stock trades at 13x non-GAAP forward EPS, a decade-low valuation. The pipeline is deep (20 launches, $70B+ opportunity) but replacing $35B requires unprecedented execution. Risk/reward unfavorable at current levels (0.33:1). HOLD; accumulate below $87.
