Scott Buck’s rating is based on Transcat’s favorable growth and margin outlook, which he believes is not yet fully reflected in the company’s recent share performance. The company has demonstrated strong organic growth within its service segment and has benefited from recent acquisitions, such as Martin Calibration. Buck anticipates continued organic growth driven by demand in core segments like life sciences, oil & gas, and defense, complemented by further mergers and acquisitions, which are central to Transcat’s long-term growth strategy.
Additionally, Transcat’s revenue is expected to rise, with projections indicating an 8.6% increase in FY26, alongside improvements in gross margin due to enhanced efficiencies from automation in the calibration process. Despite potential economic uncertainties, Buck believes Transcat is well-positioned due to its operations in highly regulated industries, providing high revenue visibility. He recommends taking advantage of the current share weakness to invest in anticipation of long-term revenue growth and margin improvements, maintaining a Buy rating with a $116 price target.
