Mereo Biopharma (MREO) experienced a 1.22% decline today, with the share price rising to its highest level since February 2025, marking an intraday gain of 2.44%.

The strategy of buying MREO shares after they reached a recent high and holding for 1 week showed poor performance over the past 5 years. The cumulative return was -50.1%, significantly underperforming the market. This indicates that this strategy was not profitable, and investors would have incurred losses rather than gains. The negative returns suggest that this approach is not viable, and investors may want to consider alternative strategies or companies for potential investment.

This collaboration includes potential milestone payments of up to $254 million and royalties, which could significantly enhance the company's financial prospects.
