Here is what Aristotle Large Cap Growth has to say about Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE:TMO) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:

“Shares of Thermo Fisher were weak during the second quarter, following an inline earnings report where the company maintained full-year guidance. There were some concerns after the CEO referred to the guidance as ”ambitious” on the earnings call and concerns grew as several bioprocessing suppliers warned of sluggish sales. The company is more diversified than its peers; however, the warnings affected the entire life science and tools sector. In addition, the company conveyed a moderately more cautious tone on the most recent earnings call, stating that the macroeconomic backdrop was beginning to cause customers to exercise more caution. We believe Thermo Fisher is well-positioned to continue to gain market share.”
