Merck management commentary: New products drive 5% revenue growth in Q3 2026

By Public Technologies
  • Merck's management commentary attributed third-quarter 2026 revenue growth of 5% to $18.1 billion to new products, oncology and animal health.
  • Keytruda-family sales rose 6% excluding currency effects to $8.6 billion, driven by earlier-stage cancer uptake and metastatic demand.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 12% to $7.4 billion, reflecting launch investments, pipeline spending and a licensing charge.
  • Full-year revenue guidance narrowed to $66.8 billion–$67.3 billion; non-GAAP EPS guidance narrowed to $2.77–$2.82, with both midpoints raised.
  • Favorable U.S. purchase timing boosted quarterly sales by approximately $550 million; Keytruda and Winrevair benefits are expected to reverse in the fourth quarter.
