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.

富國集團分析師Brandon Couillard維持$沃特世 (WAT.US)$買入評級，維持目標價415美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為62.6%，總平均回報率為18.1%。
此外，綜合報道，$沃特世 (WAT.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
盈利的大幅增長表明股票有所上漲，而且復甦週期早於預期。儘管如此，有跡象表明，最近的股價走勢已完全意識到潛在的上行空間，基本上是來年的理想定價。
第三季度被描述爲 「強勁」，其特點是儀器需求方面的積極趨勢和評論，這與工具行業的同行明顯不同。但是，對第四季度可能仍有一些懷疑態度。展望未來，真正的問題是到2025年實現上行情景的可行性，以及達到每股收益數字，從而產生更合理的隱含倍數（可能達到最高20倍）目前是否合理。
該公司表示，沃特斯第三季度的表現強勁，但是，它並不能完全反映公司的情況。看來該公司正處於一個轉折點，LCMS的發展軌跡可能已達到最低點。
