Veralto Corp (VLTO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Veralto Corp has demonstrated strong financial performance, with the Product Quality & Innovation segment achieving sales of $534.0 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 5.5% and an adjusted operating margin improvement of 170 basis points to 24.1%. In the Water Quality segment, sales rose to $811.0 million, marking a 3.7% increase compared to the previous year, supported by organic revenue growth of 4.9%. Additionally, the company has provided positive guidance for future organic sales, anticipating a low single-digit to mid-single-digit year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, which underscores a robust outlook for its operations.
Bears say
Veralto Corp faces significant challenges reflected in a -3% sales decline in the Water Quality segment during 3Q24, compounded by anticipated difficulties in funding at municipal customer sites. The company's guidance for 2025 fell below consensus expectations, indicating that factors such as foreign exchange impacts and dilution from the TraceGains acquisition may not be fully accounted for in market estimates. Additionally, slower economic growth, inflation, reduced capital expenditures, and performance concerns in the Product Quality & Innovation segment raise further doubts about Veralto's ability to achieve sustainable margins, leading to a negative outlook on its stock.
