Big pharmas Merck and Pfizer modestly beat Q2 estimates early Tuesday, and both guided the full year cautiously as they prepare for new drug launches. Merck stock rose 1.1%, but Pfizer stock fell 1.2%. Merck’s (MRK) earnings totaled 85 cents a share, up a penny from the year-earlier quarter and beating analysts’ consensus by 4 cents. Sales shrank 1% to $10.9 billion due to patent losses but still beat the Street’s expectations by about $300 Scalper1 News
