Nordson's fiscal third-quarter adjusted EPS of $3.25 beat the FactSet consensus estimate by $0.16, sending shares up by roughly 7%. Organic sales increased by 12% from the prior-year period, with broad-based growth across all segments.
Nordson is poised to benefit from innovation in its end markets, including autonomous vehicles, 5G, and 3D wafer stacking, as new technologies drive demand for its dispensing solutions.
The company regularly invests in M&A to boost revenue growth, which creates the risk of overpaying for acquisition targets.
