Puneet Souda has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest Bruker is poised for recovery and growth. The recent capital raise of approximately $670 million has alleviated concerns regarding the company’s debt obligations due in 2026 and 2027, as well as a credit agreement from 2024. This financial maneuvering has reduced leverage ratios and made the stock more appealing to investors at its current valuation, despite broader economic challenges.
Furthermore, while the recovery of Bruker’s shares is still contingent on macroeconomic conditions and funding in key markets like the US and China, the company is positioned attractively compared to its peers. Bruker’s shares are trading at a lower EV/EBITDA multiple than large-cap peers, and ongoing cost-saving initiatives are expected to enhance operating margins. Additionally, strategic moves to mitigate tariff impacts by shifting production locations further support the potential for financial stability and growth.
In another report released on September 5, Bank of America Securities also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $43.00 price target.
