No matter how well the stock market is performing, investors can always find some companies that aren't keeping pace with broader equities. This year, pharmaceutical giant Merck (NYSE: MRK) is it: The drugmaker's shares are down by 2% in 2024 while the broader S&P 500 is up by 21%.

Even when we zoom out, Merck hasn't performed particularly well in recent years. The company has significantly trailed the S&P 500 over the past decade.
