<<The stock had no reaction to FDA approval of its new drug.>>

Perhaps this is because they did not receive approval from the FDA. Of course it is very likely that it will happen, I have seen it take up to six months to receive an approval following an approvable letter from the FDA. One particular stock I have been following for quite some time (Pharmos, PARS - NASDAQ) received FDA approval for two new opthalmological drugs at the same time, with huge potential, but had very little impact on the current trading price. Perhaps this is because the intial anticipation was already accounted for in the price. Until Merck begins generating revenues from this new product, the stock price will likely not reflect even FDA approval.
