Waste Management Analysts Increase Their Forecasts After Strong Q2 Earnings

Pharmaceutical giants are navigating a complex landscape of fluctuating demand and regulatory hurdles, impacting their financial performance and strategic outlook. Merck &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) is the latest to face these challenges, as its recent earnings report reveals a mixed bag of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46692220/merck-ceo-sees-minimal-eu-tariffs-impact-warns-of-gardasil-challenges">successes and setbacks.</a>
Merck reported a mixed second-quarter earnings picture on Tuesday. Adjusted earnings exceeded analyst consensus, but overall sales declined slightly year-over-year and fell short of revenue expectations.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MRK is consolidating close to its 52-week bottom. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRK" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See real-time price here.</a></li>
</ul>
Investors were concerned about a significant drop in Gardasil vaccine sales, even as its blockbuster cancer drug Keytruda continued its strong growth trajectory.
Adjusted earnings per share of $2.13 surpassed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimates</a> of $2.04, marking a decline from the $2.28 reported in the prior-year period.
Total sales of $15.81 billion, a 2% year-over-year decrease, narrowly missed analysts&#8217; projections of $15.94 billion.

Bank of America (BofA) Securities lowered the price forecast from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRK/analyst-ratings">$99 to $98, with a Buy rating</a>.
BofA says its revenue estimates are about 1% to 2% lower, mainly due to weaker Gardasil sales, though this is partly balanced by stronger Keytruda performance. Merck has said it won&#8217;t be shipping Gardasil to China in 2025, and this delay may continue into 2026. BofA&#8217;s core earnings estimates remain mostly the same.
Analyst Tim Anderson noted during the investor call that the primary focus, surprisingly, wasn&#8217;t on Gardasil, even though its slightly weaker Q2 performance likely caused the stock to drop 8% at the open before recovering to close just 2% lower.
Instead, most of the discussion centered on the company&#8217;s cancer drugs, such as Keytruda, and its cardiovascular and kidney treatments, including Winrevair. Overall, the rest of the business appears to be performing well.
MRK Price Action: Merck &amp; Co shares were down 0.53% at $82.19 at the time of publication on Wednesday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">, according to Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Boeing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) second-quarter results on Tuesday revealed a wider-than-anticipated loss, despite strong revenue driven by a significant jump in commercial aircraft deliveries and an expanding order backlog.
This mixed financial performance underscores the aerospace giant&#8217;s ongoing efforts to stabilize operations amid persistent industry challenges.
Despite the quarterly earnings per share (EPS) miss, Wall Street analysts largely maintain a bullish outlook on Boeing. They cite solid delivery momentum, a strong backlog, and improving cash flow as key reasons for optimism.

Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, for instance, reiterated a Buy rating and modestly raised his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast</a> to $260 from $257, citing stronger-than-expected commercial deliveries and cash flow.
Similarly, Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Ronald J. Epstein maintained a Buy rating with a reaffirmed price forecast of $260, buoyed by robust jet demand and improving execution.
Boeing reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46689269/boeing-commercial-airplane-revenue-recovers-backlog-grows-to-619-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter</a> revenue of $22.75 billion, topping analyst expectations thanks to a 63% jump in commercial aircraft deliveries. However, the company posted an adjusted loss of $1.24 per share, wider than the $0.94 loss forecast, partly due to a $445 million charge tied to a Department of Justice settlement. Free cash outflow came in at $200 million, beating consensus estimates by over $1 billion.
Commercial airplane revenue surged 81% year-over-year to $10.87 billion. Boeing delivered 150 commercial jets during the quarter, helping backlog swell to $619 billion, including more than 5,900 aircraft orders worth $522 billion. The 737 program remained steady at 38 units per month, while the 787 ramped up to 7 per month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Take: Cautious Optimism With Focus On Execution</h2>
Goldman&#8217;s Poponak views Boeing&#8217;s second-quarter results as a broad beat, driven by stronger Commercial Aircraft deliveries, stabilized Defense margins, and solid Services performance. Free cash flow exceeded consensus by over $1 billion, prompting an upward revision to full-year guidance. While 737 and 787 production rates remain at 38 and 7 per month, respectively, demand supports further increases.
Poponak believes Boeing must still improve operational execution to restore normalized margins and regain investor confidence. If achieved, the stock offers substantial upside. He maintains a Buy rating with a revised $260 price target, based on a 3.0% FCF yield on 2026E. Key risks include supply chain constraints, air traffic growth uncertainty, and defense contract execution.
BofA&#8217;s Epstein maintains a Buy rating on Boeing after the second-quarter results, noting a strong free cash flow beat despite an EPS miss caused by a $445 million non-operating charge. He points to the ($200 million) FCF, well ahead of the ($1.8 billion) estimate, as a sign of improving execution through inventory drawdown and working capital gains.
Boeing beat free cash flow expectations, gaining altitude with strong operational performance, and plans to request a production rate increase for its 737 aircraft. This reflects confidence in the rising demand for commercial jets.
While Commercial and Defense margins came in below expectations, Epstein sees encouraging signals in Boeing&#8217;s plan to raise 737 MAX production to 42/month and a robust $522 billion backlog.
The price forecast of $260 is based on $9/share normalized FCF and a 1.2x S&amp;P 500 multiple. He cites strong jet demand and the F-47 ramp. Risks include the execution of new programs, labor constraints, and macro shocks to aviation demand.
Boeing said it remains focused on restoring trust, stabilizing operations, and executing on production targets amid a dynamic global backdrop. The company reaffirmed plans to increase 737 output later this year and emphasized continued progress on safety, quality, and long-term recovery.
Other analysts have also provided updates on the stock. RBC Capital&#8217;s Ken Herbert reiterated an Outperform rating, maintaining his price forecast at $250. UBS analyst Gavin Parsons maintained a Buy rating and increased the price forecast from $255 to $280.
JP Morgan&#8217;s Seth Seifman reaffirmed an Overweight rating, lifting the forecast from $230 to $251. Susquehanna&#8217;s Charles Minervino held a Positive rating while increasing the forecast from $265 to $270. Lastly, Barclays analyst David Strauss also maintained an Overweight stance and raised the price forecast from $210 to $255.
Price Action: BA shares are trading higher by 0.81% at $227.92 on Wednesday&#8217;s last check.

These Analysts Revise Their Forecasts On Brown & Brown Following Q2 Results

With Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) preparing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/07/46698434/microsoft-q4-preview-can-the-tech-giant-beat-forecasts-for-10th-straight-quarter">report fourth-quarter results after markets close today</a>, expectations are high, both for the tech giant and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs riding its AI wave</a>. Wall Street analysts are estimating revenue of $73.8 billion and earnings per share of close to $3.37. 
Azure&#8217;s cloud growth is expected to be 34–35%, with much of it attributed to the company&#8217;s aggressive expansion in generative AI, according to Investors Business Daily.
While, however, investors scrutinize Microsoft&#8217;s figures, AI-themed ETFs are already getting a tailwind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI ETFs In Focus</h2>
Thematic ETFs such as the Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) and ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THNQ#NYSE">THNQ</a>) have recently gained popularity, with Microsoft frequently being among their top holdings. AIQ, for example, has Microsoft in its highest 10 and has risen 3% in the last month and 17% year-to-date, mirroring the wider turnaround in AI sentiment. THNQ is up more than 3% in the last month and 16% YTD, although the fund is diversified with mostly equal weightages given to each holding.
The other significant ETF, Dan Ives&#8217; Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>), which launched in June, also has Microsoft as one of its main exposure points. Although still in its infancy, IVES has already collected almost $400 million in AUM, capitalizing on the AI boom story.

CIO Cullen Rogers Explains</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Azure Matters To ETFs</h2>
Azure&#8217;s performance has become a proxy for Microsoft&#8217;s execution on enterprise AI demand. With offerings such as Copilot for Office 365 and collaborations with OpenAI, Azure is rapidly emerging as the heartbeat of Microsoft&#8217;s AI monetization plan. Any upside surprise in the growth of Azure might trigger a ripple effect in AI ETFs with heavy Microsoft allocations or those concentrated in enterprise AI plays.
On the other hand, any indication of slowdown, particularly with continued cost pressures, would put ETFs with significant exposure to the stock under heavy pressure.
In brief, Microsoft&#8217;s earnings are a read on the overall AI investing universe. And ETFs, especially thematic AI indexes, are right in the middle.
