Waters Corporation (WAT) has been encountering volatile market behavior recently. The company has shown significant sales growth, surpassing sales expectations not only for Q3 but also in Q1 and Q2 of 2025. As a result, the company has raised its annual profit forecast due to stronger lab equipment demand. These accomplishments led to WAT's Relative Strength Rating hitting the 80 milestone, indicating a bullish sentiment on Wall Street. The corporation positioned itself as a growth stock with its unveiling of Empower-integrated CAD for regulated lab workflows. Moreover, analysts praised WAT's Q2 2025 earnings call for its insightful questions. Five conduit questions stood out, among which investment in India for weight-loss drugs highlighted regional business growth. However, WAT's stock performance revealed slight weaknesses, despite maintaining legal stability amid potential risks. WAT's $17.5 billion merger with Becton Dickinson's Unit was announced, promising to create a life science and diagnostics leader focused on regulated high-volume testing. Although the announcement caused initial fluctuations in the stock price, it brought diverse, long-term play potentials. Nevertheless, there have been concerns about the merger potentially weakening WAT's competitive moat.
