Merck & Co. announced on July 29, 2025, job and cost cuts aimed at saving $3 billion a year. This restructuring comes as the company posted lower second-quarter results due to continuing weak demand for its Gardasil vaccine in China.
The cost-cutting measures are a direct response to market challenges impacting a key product. While designed to improve efficiency and profitability, such initiatives often reflect underlying business pressures.
This strategic adjustment highlights Merck's efforts to optimize its operations and mitigate the financial impact of declining sales in specific markets. Investors will monitor the effectiveness of these measures in improving the company's financial performance.
