Scheduling Miscellany -- Q3 2014 Results Call: Pre-Market Open, On October 27, 2014

It has been a very slow couple of weeks for Merck news -- at least the US Merck. The German one has announced a mega merger. But too many news outlets have confused the two. No -- this Merck & Co. has run sub-rosa for a bit.

So. . . its next big pre-scheduled event? The Q3 2014 earnings call, on the morning of October 27, 2014. On it, we may get a sense of the uptake on Keytruda^® -- even if for only the last few days, in the quarter:

. . . .Merck will hold its third-quarter 2014 sales and earnings conference call with institutional investors and analysts at 8:00 a.m. EDT on Monday, Oct. 27. During the call, company executives will provide an overview of Merck’s performance for the quarter.

Investors, journalists and the general public may access a live audio webcast of the call on Merck’s website. . . .

We will tune in on that morning.
