Brandon Couillard has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Mettler-Toledo’s stock outlook. The company reported a strong second quarter with organic revenue growth surpassing expectations and a notable performance in the Industrial segment. However, the introduction of a new 39% tariff on Swiss imports into the U.S. has raised concerns about the company’s future earnings, particularly affecting the EPS outlook for the fourth quarter of 2025.
While Mettler-Toledo has increased its EPS guidance for 2025, the potential impact of the tariffs could offset these gains. The management anticipates that onshoring investments might drive growth in 2026, but the visibility on this is currently low. Additionally, the company’s ability to mitigate the tariff impact by 2026 remains uncertain, contributing to the cautious Hold rating by Couillard.
In another report released yesterday, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $1,275.00 price target.
