Merck KGaA - INITIATION - Springing to Life (BUY, TP EUR150, 54pgs)
We initiate with a BUY as we show why the SpringWorks deal transforms the outlook for Merck KGaA. We show it could be 17% accretive to group EPS by 2030, driven by our ~50% above consensus sales for Gomekli & Ogsiveo and we assume significant synergies. Moreover, we show that Healthcare sales now grow 5% CAGR to 2030 & EBITDA grows 8%. This is highly likely to drive a re-rating in the Merck KGaA shares in our view. There is upside potential from label expansions. Our view on the Life Science tools space means we have significant insight into the outlook for Merck’s business & the low equipment exposure & relatively tight supply means the outlook is robust for Merck Life Sciences.
