Merck shares rose slightly in New York trading on Friday evening, rising 0.4 percent to $87.50. This marks a positive trend, although the price is still well below the 52-week high of $106.60 reached in October 2024. However, the current price is 19.34 percent higher than the 52-week low of $73.32 recorded in May 2025.
Analysts are forecasting a dividend of $3.23 per share this year, up from last year’s $3.12. This dividend increase could further stimulate investor interest in Merck shares, especially in a volatile market environment where stable earnings are valued.
In the second quarter of 2025, Merck reported earnings per share of $1.76, a decrease compared to the year-ago quarter’s $2.14. Revenue was $15.80 billion, down slightly 2.20 percent year-over-year. These results reflect the challenges the Company faces as it prepares to report third quarter 2025 financial results.
Third quarter 2025 results are scheduled to be released on October 30, 2025. Analysts expect full-year 2025 earnings to be about $8.91 per share. These forecasts and the upcoming financial results could be crucial for the future price development of Merck shares, as investors hope for positive signals that could increase confidence in the company.
