Thermo Fisher (TMO) Gains on Latest Buyouts Despite Cost Woes
Read MoreHide Full Article
On May 16, we issued an updated research report on Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (TMO - Free Report) . Banking on several takeovers including Patheon and FEI acquisitions, this leading scientific instrument maker is rapidly ramping up its inorganic growth profile. The company’s strong focus on the emerging markets is also encouraging. The stock has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Thermo Fisher ended the first quarter on a promising note with adjusted earnings and revenues surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. We are also impressed by the company’s solid international performance on the back of strong growth in the emerging markets of China, South Korea and India.
Also, a series of product launches along with major progress in precision medicine initiatives aided Thermo Fisher’s performance. Moreover, the Patheon buyout has substantially added an impetus to the company’s value proposition for biopharma customers. Notably, the integration has already started to prove accretive to Thermo Fisher’s Laboratory Products and Services segment.
Over the past year, Thermo Fisher has successfully outperformed its industry. The stock has rallied 27.7% versus the industry’s 4.9% decline. The promising 2018 guidance also uplifts the mood to indicate the stock’s continuous bull run throughout the remainder of the year.
On the flip side, the company’s business segments have been impacted by an unfavorable business mix over the past few quarters. Also, competitive headwinds and rising operating costs persistently pose a threat. This apart, Thermo Fisher derives majority of its revenues from the international market, which exposes it to currency volatility.
Zacks Ranks & Other Key Picks
Thermo Fisher currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Some other top-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are ABIOMED, Inc. , Genomic Health, Inc. and Varian Medical Systems, Inc. .
Genomic Health has an expected growth rate of 187.5% and a Zacks Rank of 1.
Varian Medical has a projected long-term growth rate of 8%. The stock holds a Zacks Rank of 2.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
