Merck KGaA (MRK:GR) (MKKGY) PT Raised to EUR210 at CitiThe analyst commented: "Expectations of a Life Sciences/Semis recovery are intact (56% of group sales), although the revenue recovery for Merck has been pushed back one quarter to Q3. Elsewhere, Ph III xevinapant data and potential MA (€15-20bn firepower) remain the key focal points; likely Life Sciences focused along with intensifying pipeline in-licensing efforts. We republish our due diligence on key pipeline asset xevinapant along with insights from our KOL call with Prof Harrington. We expect the upcoming interim to pass with Ph III data in Q4 (Citi peak €1.4bn). Our updated forecasts result in unchanged revenue expectations but EBITDA/EPS downgrades reflecting FX, LS/Semi dynamics, and higher pharma RD. Stronger underlying cashflows and revised company WACC/g guidance (7.4%/1.2% versus 8%/2% previously) support our new NPV-derived PT of €210 (bull-bear €269-145). 2024-29E sales/EBITDA/EPS CAGR 7%/11%/12%; Citi up to 15% ahead of consensus."
