Merck and Ridgeback will reap the profits from the new antiviral, which according to Quartz could bring in as much as $7 billion by the end of this year. After the announcement of the encouraging clinical trial results on Friday, Merck’s stock price climbed, while stock prices of some vaccine makers sagged. Despite its initial investment, the U.S. government seems to be facing a steep markup in prices. In June, the government signed a $1.2 billion contract with Merck to supply 1.7 million courses of the medication at the $712 price. The transaction is due to take place as soon as molnupiravir receives emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.

[rynlrt]

Idk nothing is happening to my other calls

MRK $90 11/5 calls suddenly at .73, zooming higher. FDA approval coming?

[Agoura Guy]

Merck manufactures Ivermectin which is highly effective against COVID-19

Why are they trying to market a new pill that is half as effective for 40x greater price?

Here is some data on Merck's Ivermectin used against COVID-19:



MRK isn't reacting well to news about its new $700 treatment compared to its other product, Ivermectin which costs $10-$20 per treatment.

[sharky]

Loving these prices, looking forward to 100.00 break ahead IMO



$MRK

[Agoura Guy]

WHAT KIND OF CON ARTISTS RUN THIS COMPANY?

$700 PER TREATMENT? ARE THEY SERIOUS????

IVERMECTIN $10-$20 IN COMPARISON.....

AND CONSIDERING MERCK'S NEW PILL IS HALF AS EFFECTIVE THAT ACTUAL COMPARISON IS $10-$20 VS $1,400

MERCK SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR FRAUD!!!!!!!

RIPPING OFF SICK PEOPLE IS DESPICABLE!!!!!!!!!

Molnupiravir’s mechanism of action makes it a scary drug:

https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/224/3/415/6272009

Anyone who's afraid of taking a COVID-19 vaccine would have to be nuts to get treated with molnupiravir. (Disclosure: I'm long ENTA.)

[xZx]

agree, rynlrt -- the news flow for MRK has been overwhelmingly positive.

[rynlrt]

Allowed me to buy some cheap calls at least. I'd expect a jump through this week and next

[xZx]

neither was i, especially with markets up, as they were. but there's usually a bullish explanation for these pullbacks. i'm sure plenty of whales/institutions want a piece of MRK before significant news hits.

[rynlrt]

Definitely wasn't expecting it to fall today. Then again it's bloody Tuesday

[Cat dog]

Japan might be closing deal any moment

[xZx]

i'm buying $90 11/5 calls at .42 right now, bidding more lower. let's drop this MRK.

[rynlrt]

MRK is closing deals to sell their pills yet we are down. Doesnt make sense

$MRK Merck & Co shares are trading higher after SVB Leerink maintained an Outperform rating on the stock and raised its price target from $101 to $104.

[sharkey1]

Now it's stalled, do they have the API ?, can they produce? can they make a billion pills , They need to make some deals, and fast, there are many idle pharma factories due to the pandemic, it takes a minimum 6 months to get the average facility back up and running after closer. Lets do this with Elite

[sharkey1]

Yep crude, the world needs this anti viral pill, lets hope it works and lets hope Merck uses Elite Pharma to help make the pills, they can do it.

[crudeoil24]

Hey Budget! You have to brand a "MRK" symbol on your horse. ( lol, at lesst on your pic ).
