Merck's Q3 results on Oct 29 will reveal if new drugs can offset Keytruda's 2028 patent loss.

Merck will report its Q3 2026 results on October 29, with investors focused on whether new drug launches like LIPFENDRA, QLEX, and WINREVAIR can compensate for the expected loss of patent exclusivity for Keytruda in 2028. Last quarter, revenue grew 5.07% to $16.61 billion, driven by newer products despite a slight decline in Keytruda sales. Management raised 2026 sales guidance, but analysts have lowered earnings estimates amid concerns about Keytruda's future. Updates on Merck's pipeline, including Phase 3 trials and collaborations, will be key to assessing its growth prospects beyond Keytruda.

Merck's stock is trading at USD 145.27 on Pluang, down 1.34% as of Oct 25, 2026 22:31 WIB. The company holds a market cap of $358.41 billion, with investors showing full buy interest at this time.
