-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We lower our 12-month price target to $540 from $588, 19.8x our 2027 EPS estimate, a discount to TMO's three-year historical forward average (21.5x) and its five-year historical forward average (22.7x). While we think TMO's scale and diversified business lines offer advantages over many peers, we think the valuation discount aligns with pressures facing the broader life sciences tools & services sub-industry, which recently traded at over a 16% discount to its three-year historical forward average and a 22% discount to its five-year average. As expected, academic and government end-market demand remains weak, declining in the low single digits in Q1, while China headwinds (~7.5% of overall sales) contributed to a low single-digit sales decline in the region. Following TMO's guidance raise, we increase our 2026 EPS estimate to $24.88 from $24.54 and raise our 2027 estimate to $27.34 from $26.94.
