Fundamentalssynced from SEC 53d ago
Across the nine graded ratios (FY2025 balance-sheet figures, P/E on TTM through Mar 2026 earnings, against the latest price), MRK’s fundamentals read as strong overall.
At 32.3x, investors are paying up; a fair amount of future growth is already in the price.
Share price divided by earnings per share: what you pay for each $1 of yearly profit. Roughly 15 to 25 is typical, above 40 is richly priced, and negative means the company is losing money.
A 2.9% yield is a healthy, generally sustainable level of cash income.
The yearly dividend as a percent of the share price: the cash income each share pays out. Around 2 to 6% is healthy; above roughly 8% often signals the payout may be cut.
A 28.1% margin is strong; the company keeps a healthy slice of every revenue dollar.
The share of revenue left as profit once every cost is paid. Above 15% is strong; below 5% leaves little cushion against a bad year.
A 34.7% return on equity is strong; the company compounds owners' capital well.
Profit earned on each dollar of shareholder equity: how well the company compounds its owners' capital. Above 15% is strong.
A 13.3% return on assets is strong; the company squeezes good profit from its assets.
Profit earned on each dollar of assets: how efficiently the whole asset base is used. Above 8% is strong.
Not enough data to compute debt-to-equity.
Total liabilities divided by shareholder equity: how heavily the company leans on borrowing. Below 1 is conservative; above 2 is highly leveraged.
At 1.54, short-term assets comfortably cover short-term bills.
Current assets divided by current liabilities: whether short-term resources cover short-term bills. Above 1.5 is comfortable; below 1 is tight.
Revenue grew 1.3% from the prior year: steady, modest expansion.
Change in annual revenue from the prior fiscal year: whether the top line is expanding. Above 10% is strong growth; below 0 means revenue is shrinking.
Net income grew 6.6% from the prior year: steady profit expansion.
Change in annual net income from the prior fiscal year: whether profit is expanding. Above 10% is strong; below 0 means profit is falling.
