Nice and clean: We sensed less long crowding in TMO heading into Q2 results

Stock Rating Overweight

(versus Q1 and relative to other names in our sector like DHR). The buyside bar we'd Industry View In-Line

Price target $620.00

heard for Q2 organic growth was tracking around +3.5% (rounded up to +4%), so Shr price, close (Jul 22, 2026) $526.46

the +5% delivered today should be very well received in our opinion, particularly Mkt cap, curr (mm) $210,847

52-Week Range $643.80-406.31

after DHR's more challenging print on Tuesday. The general sense from the limited

release suggests improving sentiment across end markets, as well as innovation-

driven share gains. The drivers of outperformance look to be Analytical Instruments

(+ve read to A, MTD, WAT) and Spec Dx, though Lab Products & Biopharma Services

(incl. the CDMO and CRO) also delivered strong growth. We look ahead to the

conference call today (8:30am ET) to get more color on the Q3 guide (and full year),

though we now view upside risk to the Street's +3.5% organic in the coming quarter,
