Nordson Corporation (NDSN) remains a
steady investment with a consensus recommendation of 'Moderate Buy' from brokerages. Despite a recent fall in stock price, major developments like a
$800 million acquisition of Atrion and solid
earnings reports show promise. While Q2 reports displayed
lower profit and flat sales, Q1 of fiscal 2024 reported growth. On the other hand, Q2 of fiscal 2024
missed analyst estimates, which caused some discomfort among investors. It is also noteworthy that institutional investors own a significant part, 75%, of NDSN, suggesting strong market confidence. The appointment of Daniel Hopgood as the new
CFO can be seen as a strategic move towards the company growth while the election of Annette Clayton to the board of directors adds to the company strength. One of the major parts of Nordson’s long-term strategy is to acquire businesses that align with their current offerings and can contribute to more profitable growth, this includes acquisitions of ARAG Group, NDC Technologies, and CyberOptics Corporation which put Nordson on a strong path for future growth. The latest acquisition of the Italy-based ARAG Group in a $1B deal strengthens its position in the sector.
