Waters Corporation: Instrument Replacement Cycle Momentum, But Valuation Is A Concern

Summary Waters Corp reported better-than-expected Q4'24 and FY'24 results, driven by strong performance in academia, government, and pharma segments, despite FX headwinds impacting gross margins. The company anticipates continued growth in 2025, with projected revenue growth between 4.5% and 7%, supported by emerging markets like India and high-growth areas like GLP-1 and PFAS testing. Risks include elevated valuations and limited opportunities for cash deployment, making buybacks less attractive; current valuation appears challenging compared to historical averages and peers. I rate Waters Corp as a 'hold' due to solid recovery and growth potential, but caution investors to consider the premium pricing relative to value. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Waters Corp.: Embedded Expectations High Under Present Conditions

Summary Waters continues to present with high-quality business characteristics, including high returns on capital employed and loads of freely available cash. Embedded expectations remain exquisitely high, calling for outsized performance in a time when business returns may be contracting.

Waters Corporation: Still Struggling A Bit

Summary Waters Corporation reported mediocre first quarter results with the top and bottom line declining. According to fiscal 2024 guidance, the company is still not expecting growth but due to the wide economic moat, we should be optimistic for long-term growth.
