Wells Fargo analyst Brandon Couillard maintains $Waters (WAT.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $415.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 62.6% and a total average return of 18.1% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Waters (WAT.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The significant earnings surpass indicates that there are share gains and an earlier than anticipated recovery cycle. However, it is noted that the recent share price movement might have already accounted for all the potential gains, implying a scenario where future performance is expected to be flawless.
The third quarter was characterized as 'strong', marked by positive trends and commentary in relation to instrument demand, which was notably different from that of peers in the Tools sector. However, there may be some remaining skepticism regarding the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, the real question is the feasibility of achieving upside scenarios by 2025 and whether reaching an earnings per share figure that would result in a more reasonable implied multiple—potentially in the high twenties—is currently plausible.
The firm suggests that Waters' third-quarter performance was strong, however, it doesn't fully capture the company's situation. It appears that the company is at a turning point where the LCMS trajectory may have reached its lowest point.

富国集团分析师Brandon Couillard维持$沃特世 (WAT.US)$买入评级，维持目标价415美元。
根据TipRanks数据显示，该分析师近一年总胜率为62.6%，总平均回报率为18.1%。
此外，综合报道，$沃特世 (WAT.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
盈利的大幅增长表明股票有所上涨，而且复苏周期早于预期。尽管如此，有迹象表明，最近的股价走势已完全意识到潜在的上行空间，基本上是来年的理想定价。
第三季度被描述为 “强劲”，其特点是仪器需求方面的积极趋势和评论，这与工具行业的同行明显不同。但是，对第四季度可能仍有一些怀疑态度。展望未来，真正的问题是到2025年实现上行情景的可行性，以及达到每股收益数字，从而产生更合理的隐含倍数（可能达到最高20倍）目前是否合理。
该公司表示，沃特斯第三季度的表现强劲，但是，它并不能完全反映公司的情况。看来该公司正处于一个转折点，LCMS的发展轨迹可能已达到最低点。
