Agilent upgraded to Buy on improved landscape at Citi

Citi analyst Patrick Donnelly upgraded Agilent to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $150, up from $135. The analyst sees an improved landscape for the nucleic acid solutions, particularly in fiscal 2025 and 2026, and says the company’s second half of 2024 ramp “screens de-risked” following the fiscal 2024 guidance cut on the Q2 call. The firm says Agilent’s new investment will create a Train C and D, and is expected to double the revenue capacity of NASD to just under a $1B run rate upon manufacturing at full capacity.
