BofA lowered the firm’s price target on Avantor (AVTR) to $16 from $20 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares following a Q1 sales miss and FY25 guidance cut. With shares trading meaningfully lower, the firm thinks the reason for the selloff is a general view that Avantor’s outlook still has some risk, both from the updated organic growth view and tariff exposure. Despite the firm’s concerns, it doesn’t think “things are as dire as they appear” and it argues the valuation remains “compelling,” the analyst added.
