Waters Corporation reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $2.70 vs. $2.25, beating consensus by $0.39 (17%), while revenues of $1.267B topped guidance by $56M (4.6%). Organic business sales growth was 13% (11% constant currency), exceeding guidance by 200 bps, with Analytical Sciences delivering 14% growth to $607M. We think the quarter marks a successful start as a combined entity following the February 9 acquisition of BDX's Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions business, supported by early realization of cross-division collaboration benefits and revenue synergies. Management raised full-year 2026 guidance across all key metrics, with organic constant currency growth guidance increased to 6.5%-8.0% from 5.5%-7.0% and adjusted EPS midpoint raised to $14.50 from $14.40. The acquired BDS businesses generated $520M in revenue since closing, $40M above guidance, while geographically Asia sales fell to 28% of total revenue vs. 33% in the prior year as Europe rose to 33% from 28%.
