Today's downward move isn't all that outsized. There's been more clarity on US drug pricing. Seeing a bit of market exhaustion, as US pharma is trading at huge premiums relative to their own history.
Rerating from pricing clarity has already been baked in. R&D pipeline in the sector is a mixed bag, doesn't trust it.
He bought it for their strong drug pipeline and is happy to stay here.

Pharmas are coming back. Political policy is improving. Keytruda makes up a lot of revenues but faces a patent cliff in 2028. But MRK has invested a lot in new drugs and been buying companies strategically.

They have a good pipeline that will help offset the loss of their major Keytruda drug when it goes off-patent. MRK is good at buying and tucking in companies. Their 2025 chart wasn't that great until the end of the year when the sector caught a bid.

Where can you buy, particularly in the US, forward 12X earnings and a 4% yield? Missed a quarter earlier in the year. Have a good pipeline. Have some positive indications on their melanoma drug that came out in the past couple of weeks. There is a thought that they might split themselves into pieces which would be worth $55.
