“It’s hard to find value right now, but MRK is one of the most undervalued stocks out there.”
We’re in an unprecedented time in the markets.
Yesterday, many tech stocks were down.
The indexes were down.
And last week at the Tariff Protection Summit, I was doing whatever I could to give you the best picks to keep you safe, protected, and most of all – profitable amid all this turmoil.
As cliché as it sounds…
Markets like these are often the best time to find value stocks.
Which is why I’m revealing my top value play in today’s watchlist.
That pick is the pharmaceutical company Merck (MRK).
Merck’s latest run has been a thing of beauty.
Just take a look at its chart below.
MRK gapped down on earnings last month, and now it’s one of the only stocks that’s currently up.
There are two main reasons I like MRK.
For one… MRK was the top “Dog of Dow” stock last year.
If you’re not familiar with “Dog of the Dow” here’s the rundown.
“Dog of the Dow” means you take the worst performing stock on the dow with the highest dividend.
Then, you buy that stock the next year.
So you basically say… “here’s a dividend paying stock that had the worst performance – so now it’s undervalued.”
And MRK was the No. 1 “Dog of the Dow” in 2024.
Now in this market, it’s very difficult to find any sort of value play.
But because MRK had a drastic drop in 2024, it’s a strong value play right now.
Plus, MRK is also a safe-haven play because it’s in the pharma sector.
Action Plan: Merck (MRK) is one of the many tariff-proof stocks I’ll be recommending in The War Room this week.
If you haven’t joined yet, here’s what you’ve been missing.
Last week I closed 9 of 11 trades for winners for an 82% win rate. One of those wins came on another pharma company, Moderna (MRNA), that I closed for a 31% gain in less than 1 trading day.
