Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) has garnered a mix of appreciation and cautious observation from experts in the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Most analysts agree on its solid reputation as a 'pick and shovel' supplier within the healthcare industry, providing crucial tools for drug development and research. Although TMO faced challenges such as declining margins due to a funding crunch in biotechnology and greater market volatility stemming from geopolitical tensions, many view its extensive global footprint and robust revenue models as strengths. Analysts note the company's positive long-term prospects, bolstered by a recent turnaround in pharma and biotech spending. Despite trading around historical highs, expert consensus leans towards steady but cautious growth rather than aggressive wealth building.

BUY
He recommends it, but has had a rough year. It did good business during Covid, mostly in Covid testing. But this created tough comparisons. Last week, they reported a strong quarter and boosted their full-year forecast. But shares have barely risen. That's crazy. It's a steal here.

BUY
It may be safe to circle back to "Covid plays" like this. TMO is the arms dealer for life sciences and pharma. They made a lot of money selling Covid tests and equipment to companies developing vaccines, but then we went into post-Covid mode. Shares plunged from last year's $672 to $588 today. However, the stock has rallied 90 points in the past 1.5 months. Last Thursday, TMO reported an excellent beat, up 20% from mid-June lows. It has a lot of room to run. It's a steady-eddy name.

BUY
Has owned company for 5 years. Is a good company to own within sector (way ahead of competition).
Stock has fallen recently which is presenting good buying opportunity (25x P/E ratio).
Dividend growing nicely with strong M&A activity.
Buy shares now and if the price falls, buy more.

HOLD
Large, diversified. Specific lab and diagnostic equipment. Covid demand may have caused stock to gap up. Not immune to market rotation away from growth. Likes leadership, executing well. Multiple has compressed. Comfortable holding.

PARTIAL BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks TMO, by the ways, has easily beat its last four quarters. Its EPS of $19.47 beats Intuitive Surgical ($4.66) and Danaher ($8.49). Cash flow is strong though its 19.72% profit margin lags Intuitive's 30.26% and Danaher's 21.55%. Forget the 0.22% dividend, though this sector is not for income investors. The street has seven buys and one hold on TMO at a $689.13 price target or 13% higher. Consider this a partial buy. Read 3 Promising Healthcare Stocks for our full analysis.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 10/21, Up 29%) It trades at a fair value and is a great long term buy. It makes highly sensitive measurement devices for research development in several fields. Could be some headwinds because of the Covid testing equipment part. Has high recurring revenue, is acquisitive and a compounder of capital. Growing quickly in China and also around the world.

Stocks like this have been the baby thrown out with the bathwater. Today they delivered a top and bottom line beat and raised its full-year forecast, but the street didn't react. They have a big Covid-testing business, but Wall Street doesn't care for Omicron-related gains. But numbers are numbers and this was one of the best beats this season. Offers great growth, too.
