Vanessa Jeffriess has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors that point to limited upside despite in-line results. While FY25 sales and earnings broadly matched expectations, U.S. demand remains notably weak, and there is no clear evidence that the restoration of federal research funding is translating into actual spending or new orders.
At the same time, macro and geopolitical uncertainties, including tensions in the Middle East and fragile business confidence, are weighing on visibility into 2026. Internal improvements and active M&A screening are positives, but management’s reluctance to pursue acquisitions amid uncertainty leaves few obvious catalysts for a re-rating, leading Jeffriess to maintain a cautious, Sell stance on Judges Scientific.
