In the last 24 hours, Ametek has seen several developments impacting its stock. The company announced an 11% increase in its quarterly dividend and a $1.25 billion share repurchase plan, indicating strong financial health and commitment to returning value to shareholders. Despite reporting record earnings and growth, several analysts have lowered their price targets for Ametek. RBC Capital cited the company’s light 2025 guidance despite strong Q4 performance as a reason for the adjustment. Truist pointed to a Q4 revenue miss and lower margins in the EMG segment due to challenges in the Automation markets, although they noted potential for improvement as organic growth picks up.
