Danaher Increases Quarterly Dividend From $0.27 To $0.32

Repligen Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGEN#NASDAQ">RGEN</a>)&nbsp;released its fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of 44 cents on Tuesday, down from 48 cents a year ago <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">but beating the consensus of 41 cents</a>.
The bioprocessing technology reported sales of $167.55 million, slightly up from $166.6 million a year ago, almost in line with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43844804/repligen-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $167.67 million</a>.
Olivier Loeillot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Repligen, said, "During the fourth quarter, we were very encouraged by the continued momentum across our portfolio. Total revenue in the fourth quarter grew 13%, excluding COVID-19, overcoming two points of currency headwind. Total orders outpaced sales by 6%, driven by our Filtration and Analytics franchises&#8230;While we continue to monitor China and emerging biotech,&nbsp;the overall bioprocessing market is returning to growth. Our order momentum during the second half gives us confidence that we can achieve our 2025 guidance."
Guidance:&nbsp;Repligen expects 2025 sales of $685 million—$710 million, with organic growth of 9.5%—13.5% and non-COVID revenue growth of 10%—14% compared to the consensus of $694.86 million.
The company expects adjusted EPS of $1.67—$1.76 compared to the consensus of $1.73.
William Blair says Repligen's Q4 results and 2025 outlook confirm that the bioprocessing industry is recovering strongly, with growth expected to return to normal levels next year.
Repligen's guidance reflects strong quarterly momentum, signaling a market recovery.
Compared to peers like Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) and Avantor Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVTR#NASDAQ">AVTR</a>), which project mid-to-high single-digit growth in bioprocessing, Repligen's outlook highlights its strong product portfolio and customer positioning that have driven consistent above-market growth.
Since Repligen focuses solely on bioprocessing and has minimal exposure to risks in NIH-funded research, academia, or China, analyst Matt Larew believes its guidance is more predictable than competitors with broader market and geographic exposure.
Price Action: RGEN stock is up 8.16% at $163.03 at the last check Thursday.

Repligen Q4 Earnings Momentum Highlights Market Growth, Issues Strong 2025 Outlook

In the current session, Danaher Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) is trading at $204.95, after a 0.01% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 16.56%, and in the past year, by 19.25%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740056425_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Danaher P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 95.78 in the Life Sciences Tools &amp; Services industry, Danaher Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 38.75. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740056425_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Danaher Unusual Options Activity For February 07

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he likes NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and recommended buying the same. &#8220;I think you've got a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEE/earnings">good one,&#8221; he added</a>.
On Jan. 24, NextEra Energy Inc posted in-line earnings for the fourth quarter and said it continues to expect adjusted EPS of $3.45-$3.70 for FY25.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cramer&#8217;s Take On Tech Stocks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fastly, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLY#NYSE">FSLY</a>) has missed the quarter too often, Cramer said. &#8220;If you want to be in that, you want to be in Cloudflare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NET#NYSE">NET</a>).&#8221; The San Francisco-based company will release financial results for the fourth quarter after the closing bell on Wednesday, Feb. 12.</li>
<li>A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATEN#NYSE">ATEN</a>) is &#8220;up in a straight line, it's a parabolic move.&#8221; He noted that although it's a good company, but he can't recommend parabolic stocks. &#8220;Let that one come in,&#8221; he added. The San Jose, California-based company, on Feb. 4, posted better-than-expected earnings for its fourth quarter.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Stocks In Focus</h3>
Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) has been bad for him, the Mad Money host said. &#8220;That last quarter was terrible, and, frankly, they were very smug on the call talking about how good it was, and that was a very ill-advised strategy that they adopted, and I don't like it.&#8221;
Supporting his view, Raymond James analyst Andrew Cooper, on Feb. 3, downgraded Danaher from Outperform to Market Perform.
IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IESC#NASDAQ">IESC</a>) is Jeffrey Gendell's [Chief Executive Officer for IES Holdings] company, Cramer said. &#8220;He is a, just an amazing man.&#8221;
As per the recent earnings report, IES, on Tuesday, reported quarterly earnings of $2.64 per share, up from $1.86 per share from the same period last year. The company reported $749.50 million in sales during the quarter, compared to $634.40 million the same period last year.
Cramer said Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) is a &#8220;really great&#8221; company, but he doesn't want to recommend the stock. &#8220;It's the best house in a bad neighborhood, and we don't want to be in bad neighborhoods,&#8221; he added.
In the recent news, Schlumberger's OneSubsea joint venture on Tuesday entered an agreement with Vår Energi to deliver a subsea production systems work scope, aimed at supporting multiple upcoming oil and gas developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
