INVEST SECURITIES - Merck : Attendu mais mal digéré - NEUTRE, OC : 94€ vs 101€

Suite à la publication des résultats annuels nous ajustons notre OC 94€ (vs 101€). Alors que nous ressortions initialement déjà en-dessous des attentes, nous révisons de nouveaux à la baisse (en moyenne -1,1%) nos estimations sous l'effet d'une pression plus accrue sur la franchise Performance Materials compensée en partie par la franchise Life Science. Le principal élément impactant notre valorisation reste la mise à jour du WACC qui passe de 5,9% à 6,25%. Malgré un potentiel de hausse significatif, nous ne voyons pas de rebond à CT avant le T1, date à laquelle sera formulée une guidance qualitative (non chiffrée). Nous maintenons notre recommandation à NEUTRE.
