Company Report

While Thermo Fisher's Near-Term Environment Is Constrained, Long-Term Prospects Are Strong

Thermo Fisher didn’t just come out of the toughest two years for the global economy unscathed, the company delivered some of its best results. Being the premier life science supplier and having an unmatched portfolio of products, resources, and manufacturing capabilities have allowed the firm to meet massive demand. The pandemic reaffirmed the company's entrenched and dominant positioning with the supply chain, and the current budget-constrained environment still leaves the company in a better position than most of its peers. Thermo Fisher remains in a great position to leverage its share gains in the biopharma channel and capitalize on strong long-term demand.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Thermo Fisher is among the industry's best when it comes to cost control. As near-term spending is constrained, the company's margins show exceptional resilence.

Bears

The company was able to fuel its acquisition spree via access to extremely inexpensive debt. Generating excess returns on acquisitions in a current less favorable interest-rate environment might be more challenging.
