US Merck is about the twentieth least-shorted stock on the NYSE. As shorts go, it is in the top one fiftieth of one percentile, of all NYSE listed stocks — NOT much shorted.
This would imply both high institutional confidence in the stability of its quarterly financial results — earnings and cash flow… as well as pretty low volatility, in price fluctuations.
As a group, probably only tech rivals pharma, in low percentage shorted metrics.
Now you know.
Onward — to beating BHO44, in the NCAA Women’s brackets (for once!), tonight — if Caitlin Clark can best Angel Reese. We shall see… grin.
