Merck KGa Germany reported a 4.8% decline in Q2 sales to €5.3 billion. Despite strong growth in the Healthcare sector, Group EBITDA pre declined by 12.8% to €1.55 billion due to decreased sales volumes and lower share of higher-margin products. The company has updated its 2023 forecast, expecting an organic sales growth of -2% to +2% and an organic decline in EBITDA pre by -9% to -3%. Both net sales and EBITDA pre are likely to be impacted by negative foreign exchange effects.

RBC Capital Markets has downgraded Abcam PLC (NASDAQ:ABCM) from Outperform to Sector Perform with a price target of $22, down from $23. The downgrade is due to activist investor engagement and potential bid anticipation, which may cause share volatility. Major players in the life science tools space, such as Thermo Fisher Scientific, Danaher Corporation, Merck KGaA, Agilent Technologies, Bio-Techne Corp, and Revvity Inc, could be interested in Abcam.
