Mettler-Toledo reported 1% year-on-year organic revenue growth in local currencies and adjusted EPS growth of 9%. Management raised full-year guidance for adjusted earnings per share growth to 9% at the midpoint, or 50 basis points higher than February's guidance. Shares are trading down 15%.
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.
