Merck KGaA reportedly considering generics sale

Germany's Merck KGaA is mulling the possible sale of its generics drug business, according to a news report. The unit could be worth about €4 billion and the money would help fund its acquisition of Switzerland's Serono as it focuses on developing new therapies. Any sale would likely be to financial investors, analysts note. The European drug company declined to comment on the report.
