what happened

Guggenheim reaffirmed its Buy rating on Merck & Co and raised its price target from $170 to $171, a 0.6% increase, TradingView reports. The new target implies 16.9% upside from the October 29 close of $146.33.

According to the same source, the five latest analyst notes over the past 30 days put Merck price targets between $145 and $180. Barclays holds Overweight with a $180 target, while Citigroup, RBC Capital and Cantor Fitzgerald stay neutral with $145 targets.

why it matters

A one-dollar increase in a price target is usually a routine event and rarely moves the stock. The spread of targets across brokers is the more telling signal for the market. Data is provided by Benzinga and is not investment advice.
