Merck's recent decline is due to reduced profit guidance and FDA decisions, but shares are at a support level that is likely to hold. Keytruda remains a key revenue driver, with potential for continued growth and extended patent protection through a subcutaneous formulation. Strategic acquisitions are broadening Merck's pipeline and should reduce its reliance on Keytruda, despite the short-term profit impacts.
