David Saxon has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to Envista Holdings’ recent performance and market conditions. The company exceeded expectations in both revenue and earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025, and management has subsequently raised its guidance for the year. Despite these positive developments, the EBITDA margin guidance remains unchanged, suggesting some caution in the outlook.
Additionally, while the dental market has shown stability, the growth observed was largely volume-driven with some influence from forward buying and only a slight benefit from pricing. Envista Holdings has demonstrated strong execution capabilities, but the broader macroeconomic impacts on the dental market temper the overall optimism. Consequently, while there are positive signs, the decision to maintain a Hold rating reflects a balanced view of the potential risks and rewards in the current environment.
