TOP PICK

A conglomerate in the healthcare space. They have done exceedingly well during COVID. They integrated into genomic medicine. (Analysts’ price target is $340.03)

machinery

BUY

They report Thursday. They have a high-growth healthcare business that they partly picked up from GE for a song. He expects a great quarter.

machinery

DON'T BUY

A diversified industrial company in the life science and diagnostic services business. Has grown through acquisitions. Has made 2 dozens acquisitions in the past year. Bought GE's biopharma business. Relatively expensive at 40x earnings. Does not warrant this type of price tag. Nothing wrong but a little expensive for him.

machinery

COMMENT

DHR vs. TMO vs. WAT WAT not performing as well as Thermo Fisher or Danaher. Cash from operations has been flat in the last 4 years, whereas the other two have doubled, which is reflected in the stock price. Market share, operating margins, and pricing power impact the business model. Compare these when assessing competitors in an industry.

machinery

COMMENT

A fine long-term performer. They bought a biopharma asset from GE and will report on it in on Wednesday.

machinery

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 28/19, Up 54%) Covid is impacting them. They bought GE pharma division, and the timing couldn't be better. Grown dividend by 28% over the last 5 years, paying down debt.

machinery

BUY

They produce consumables for drug production, a great company. For the discovery and production of drugs. They're in a unique situation, because their filtration systems also apply to industrial production.

machinery

WAIT

Has long owned this. It's benefited from COVID, because DHR prrovides testing equipment. Their latest acquisition was huge, from GE's bio-farm unit. DHR is expensive now, but this is good for the long term. Buy only half or a third now and see what happens with volatility in the fall running up the U.S. election.

machinery

WATCH

It is rather like a 3-M, a healthcare services like company, diagnostics, etc. He thinks it is a fabulous company. Maybe you want to hold this for a longer period of time. Margins may be peaking, however. In the US healthcare is tied to employment. The dividend is actually quite small. You want to focus on this in the post-COVID-19 environment.

machinery

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 17/19, Up 54%) A life-sciences companies that also does consumables and mass spectrometers. They recently purchased the GE biopharma section. They have big margins coming into the company. Earnings were higher than their peer group. He has owned this since 2013 and he sees no reason to sell it. He wouldn't enter now with 30x earnings. It works as a core holding since life science has good growth potential.

machinery

COMMENT

As a roll-up It was a roll-up, but not now. The new DHR is a producer of filtration systems and single-use consumables that help make biotech drugs. They have a leading market share, supplying most major biotechs around the world. He likes it. Little is built into the numbers now and investors are very conservative about forecasting the biotech drug market.

machinery

SELL

They have been a successful franchise and acquisition story. His concern has always been valuation. This is a great company. It should be on your radar. It is too expensive so you should sell it.

machinery

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 28/19, Up 17%) It's up 52% in the past year, but $10,000 returned over 30 years is now $2.3 million!

machinery

TOP PICK

A private equity company and a smart acquisitor. They bought GE's biopharma division which added debt to their books, but DHR has done buys like this before, knowing how to pay down debt yet be accretive to earnings. They have spun-off their dental division The dividend has grown 28% annually, though it is small now. Great for the long term. (Analysts’ price target is $152.14)
