According to the Financial Intelligence APP, due to the impact of the weakening US dollar and uncertainty in tariff policies, the German technology group Merck KGaA announced on Thursday that it has lowered its sales and profit growth expectations for the year. The company's latest forecast shows that the full-year organic sales growth rate will be between 2%-6%, and the adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) organic growth rate will be 2%-7%. This expectation is lower than the previously set sales growth target of 3%-6% and profit growth range of 3%-8%.
