Track MTD free→Mettler Toledo grows earnings about 8% to 10% in 2026. Sales rise steadily near 4% in local currency. Profit margins stay strong with consistent beats. The company leads in weighing and analytical instruments.
Sales growth lags the 4% target and EPS growth slows below 8%. Rising costs could pressure profit margins. Competition or market softness may hurt demand and earnings.
The price is about 8% above our fair value near $1194. Analysts expect roughly 6% revenue growth, slightly below management's 8-10% EPS growth target. Our fair value is 13% below the Street median, reflecting some valuation caution.
