Goldman Sachs has launched coverage of Agilent Technologies, Danaher, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, rating all three as buys with notable price targets indicating substantial upside potential—$170 for Agilent (19%), $265 for Danaher (18%), and $685 for Thermo Fisher (21%). The firm anticipates that the life sciences tools sector will return to a historic market growth rate of about 5%, despite recognizing ongoing softness in early-stage drug discovery. Additionally, Goldman Sachs has rated competitor Bruker as a sell and issued neutral ratings for Revvity and Mettler-Toledo, highlighting a selective view within the sector.
