Thermo Fisher Scientific operates at global scale, providing critical tools and services for scientific research, diagnostics, and drug development. The company leverages its diversified portfolio and broad customer base to drive consistent revenue growth.
Its product offerings include life sciences solutions, analytical instruments, specialty diagnostics, laboratory products, and biopharma services across global markets.

Foolish take
Thermo Fisher Scientific has seen its stock cool this year, but what looks like fatigue may instead be a reset for one of the market's most dependable compounders. Swedish fund E. Ohman J:or Asset Management increased its stake by nearly $9 million. This move reflects renewed conviction in the company that remains central in the life sciences industry.
Over the past year, Thermo Fisher's stock has eased after several strong years of growth. Investors have been cautious as biotech spending and lab equipment budgets soften, yet the company's fundamentals remain sound. Revenue stands above $43 billion over the past twelve months, and is supported by a portfolio that spans nearly every stage of drug development and diagnostics. Thermo Fisher's steady margins and pricing power give it the flexibility to reinvest in R&D and targeted acquisitions, thereby positioning itself to widen its moat in areas such as genetic testing and bioprocessing.
Markets can overlook the value of steady progress, and consistency is often what drives real compounding. For investors who are willing to look past the recent slowdown, Thermo Fisher still represents what disciplined growth looks like in practice, and its steady results make it a company worth holding through any market cycle.

Thermo Fisher’s Pullback Is Setting Up Its Next Phase of Growth

Last Friday, the three most widely followed benchmark indexes closed a winning week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq, the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 gained 2.3%, 2.2% and 1.9%, respectively.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq registered their sharpest weekly advances since August, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its strongest weekly show since June.
The week’s trading reflects a mix of reduced trade-war fears between the United States and China, inflation coming in cooler than expected and U.S. sanctions on Russian oil firms shifting the energy market. The weaker-than-forecast inflation reading bolstered hopes for a rate cut by the Fed, lifting investor sentiment. Next week, markets will focus on upcoming central-bank commentary and big tech earnings.
Regardless of market conditions, we, here at Zacks, provide investors with unbiased guidance on how to beat the market.
As usual, Zacks Research guided investors over the past three months with its time-tested methodologies. Given the prevailing market uncertainty, you may want to look at our feats to prepare better for your next action.
Here are some of our key achievements:
Micron and Napco Security Surge Following Zacks Rank Upgrade
Shares of Micron Technology, Inc. MU have gained 77.3% (versus the S&P 500’s 5.3% increase) since it was upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) on August 19.
Another stock, Napco Security Technologies, Inc. NSSC, which was also upgraded to a Rank #1 on August 28, has returned 14.8% (versus the S&P 500’s 4.7% increase) since then.
A hypothetical portfolio of Zacks Rank # 1 (Strong Buy) stocks returned +8.64% in 2025 (through September 1st) vs. +7.60% for the S&P 500 index.
This portfolio returned +22.4% in 2024, vs. +28% for the S&P 500 index and +19.9% for the equal-weight version of the S&P 500 index.

While the Zacks Rank is our short-term rating system that is most effective over the one- to three-month holding horizon, the Zacks Recommendation aims to predict performance over the next 6 to 12 months. However, just like the Zacks Rank, the foundation for the Zacks Recommendation is trends in earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Recommendation classifies stocks into three groups — Outperform, Neutral and Underperform. While these recommendations are determined quantitatively, our analysts have the flexibility to override them for the 1100+ stocks they closely follow based on their better judgment of factors such as valuation, industry conditions and management effectiveness than the quantitative model.

Beat the Market the Zacks Way: PDD, Shopify, 3M in Focus

In recent trading, shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (Symbol: TMO) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $642.67, changing hands for $646.01/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 15 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $525.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $715.00. The standard deviation is $72.008.
But the whole reason to look at the average TMO price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with TMO crossing above that average target price of $642.67/share, investors in TMO have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $642.67 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc:

Wells Fargo Maintains Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) Overweight Recommendation

Pre-market futures are flattish at this hour, but with a downward bias. The Dow is coming off a record closing high Tuesday, and Q3 earnings reports released yesterday afternoon did not quite have the positive sheen we’ve seen elsewhere this far into earnings season. The Dow is currently down -9 points, the S&P 500 is +3, the Nasdaq -38 and the small-cap Russell 2000 is -9 points at this hour.
Fed Governor Michael Barr will make a couple of appearances later today — one week ahead of the next monetary policy decision from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Thus, we’re also closing in on the “blackout period,” where Fed members keep mum on their opinions about the state of the economy. Nearly 100% of analysts believe another 25 basis-point (bps) rate cut is in the cards for next Wednesday, which would take the Fed funds rate down to 3.75-4.00%.
Q3 Earnings Ahead of the Bell: T, TMO, GEV & More
AT&T T reported Q3 earnings ahead of today’s open, missing on its bottom line by a penny to 54 cents per share. Revenues in the quarter were similarly short, -0.81% from estimates to $30.71 billion. Shares are down -1.6% at this hour on the news; the stock is still up +13% year to date — basically in-line with the S&P 500.
Medical equipment major Thermo Fisher TMO posted beats on both top and bottom lines for its Q3 report this morning, with earnings of $5.79 per share well ahead of the $5.50 in the Zacks consensus. This amounts to a positive earning surprise of +5.27%. Revenues topped expectations by +2% to $11.12 billion in the quarter. Shares are up +2% on the news this morning, but still underperforming the S&P year to date.
A day after GE Aerospace GE strongly outperformed estimates, its energy-oriented spinoff GE Vernova GEV came out with a mixed picture in Q3: earnings of $1.64 per share missed the Zacks consensus $1.78 by -7.87% (though much higher than the 35 cents per share reported a year ago), on revenues of $9.97 billion — +8.62% higher than anticipated. Shares are up another +3.8% on the news, adding to the boffo +78% growth year to date.
Canadian metals company Teck Resources TECK had perhaps the strongest Q3 earnings report of the morning, with earnings of 55 cents per share surpassing the 39 cents projected by +41%, on revenues of $2.46 billion which surged past the Zacks consensus by +14.3%. This is perhaps a less familiar stock to track, but with rare earth negotiations with China remaining a sticking point, Teck may find itself with a higher level of relevancy.
What to Expect from Today’s Stock Market
Big Q3 earnings reports are expected after the closing bell today, including Tesla TSLA, which is expected to fetch negative earnings per share to the tune of -26.4% year over year, but +5% on revenues. Shares have rebounded somewhat from their much-maligned levels in early April, which was right around the time CEO Elon Musk was seeing his White House tenure coming to an end. Shares are +9.6% year to date, but flat ahead of today’s open.
We’ll also get IBM IBM earnings after today’s close, with the international tech giant looking to add to its +28% gains since the start of the year. Earnings are expected to come in +6% higher, with +7.57% on the revenues side for the quarter. Also, Southwest Airlines LUV fights a tough year-over-year comp, staring down -93% earnings growth in the quarter on +1.44% expected in revenues.
