Matt Larew has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that reflect AptarGroup’s robust financial performance and growth prospects. The company reported strong second-quarter results, surpassing both William Blair’s and market expectations in terms of revenue and adjusted EBITDA. This marks the ninth consecutive quarter of EBITDA outperformance and the 12th straight quarter of EPS exceeding estimates, showcasing the company’s consistent financial strength.
Additionally, all three of AptarGroup’s segments demonstrated growth for the first time since 2023, with the Pharma segment continuing its impressive performance. Despite some challenges in the Consumer Health Care segment, the Pharma segment’s growth was driven by increased demand for prescription drugs, injectables, and active materials. These factors, combined with AptarGroup’s ability to navigate legal expenses related to Pharma IP rights, underpin Matt Larew’s positive outlook and Buy rating for the stock.
According to TipRanks, Larew is an analyst with an average return of -4.2% and a 43.64% success rate. Larew covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as AptarGroup, Maravai Lifesciences Holdings, and 908 Devices.
