Heading into today, shares of the pharmaceutical company had lost 5.77% over the past month, outpacing the Medical sector's loss of 10.33% and the S&P 500's loss of 18.13% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from MRK as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be April 28, 2020. In that report, analysts expect MRK to post earnings of $1.41 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 15.57%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $11.96 billion, up 10.61% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $5.72 per share and revenue of $49.80 billion. These totals would mark changes of +10.21% and +6.32%, respectively, from last year.
