Mettler-Toledo delivered 6% year-on-year organic local currency revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $12.57, up 13%. Management raised full-year local currency sales growth guidance to about 5% (4% organic) and adjusted EPS guidance to $47.70-$47.90, up $0.48 at the midpoint.
Despite the slow market growth of balances, Mettler has consistently produced robust earnings growth with its marketing and efficiency initiatives along with share repurchases.
Mettler’s large share-buyback program could potentially hurt shareholder value if the firm repurchases stock at a premium.
