What's Happening
Merck posted a Q1 beat and held guidance
On 2026-04-30, Merck reported Q1 2026 EPS of -$1.28, ahead of the consensus estimate of -$1.47, while revenue rose 4.9% year over year to $16.29 billion versus $15.85 billion expected. The more important detail is that management kept full-year 2026 guidance in a tight band — EPS of $5.04 to $5.16 and revenue of $65.8 billion to $67.0 billion — which tells you the core operating story is still intact even after a noisy quarter.
