Class Action Reminder for Merck & Co. Shareholders

The Gross Law Firm wants to inform shareholders of Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK) about a pressing lead plaintiff deadline for a class action lawsuit scheduled for April 14, 2025. If you purchased shares of MRK during the designated class period, you are encouraged to connect with the firm regarding potential lead plaintiff appointment opportunities. Notably, becoming a lead plaintiff is not a prerequisite to participate in any recovery from this case.

Class Period Details

The class period for this lawsuit spans from February 3, 2022, to February 3, 2025. Shareholders who engaged with the stock during this timeframe should be aware of the allegations outlined in this complaint.

Allegations Against Merck

According to the filed complaint, the defendants are accused of not disclosing significant information that could have affected Merck's investors. Specifically, there was a public proclamation regarding the expected revenue from the Gardasil vaccine, forecasted to reach an ambitious $11 billion by 2030. The claims included a confident assertion of Merck's strategy employing consumer education and activation to drive demand for Gardasil, effectively manipulating market optimism about its growth potential, particularly in China.

The situation drastically changed on February 4, 2025, when Merck publicly announced that it would no longer meet the sales expectations for Gardasil by 2030, citing a necessary halt in shipments to China to reduce excess inventory. The company explained that this pause was due to persistently high inventory levels and unexpected demand issues for Gardasil in China.

This news led to a dramatic drop in Merck’s stock price; from $99.79 per share on February 3 to $90.74 per share by February 4, which represents a staggering decline of over 9% in merely one trading day. This event has undoubtedly raised concern among shareholders about their investments in the company.
