Agilent's FY Forecast is No Longer Conservative, UBS Says -- Market Talk
Dow Jones
Feb 27
1511 ET - While Agilent Technologies backed its full-year guidance, "it no longer has the same conservative feel to it" after the company's latest quarterly results were a mixed bag, UBS analysts say in a note. The company's key growth drivers remain intact, including recent instrument launches and improving demand in China, but its performance was hurt by severe weather in January and weakness with U.S. academic and government customers, the analysts say. Additionally, year-over-year comparisons will get more challenging in the second half of the year, the analysts say. "We have slightly tuned down our estimates accordingly," they say. Agilent is off 5%. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
