Nordson Corp (NDSN) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term focus at this time. While the company has shown strong financial performance and positive analyst sentiment, the lack of recent trading signals, insider selling, and potential short-term downside risk suggest waiting for a better entry point.
The technical indicators show a bullish trend with MACD above 0 and positively contracting, bullish moving averages (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), and a pre-market price of $295 nearing the R1 resistance level of $297.488. However, the RSI of 79.871 is in the neutral zone, and candlestick pattern analysis suggests a 40% chance of a -0.79% drop in the next day and further declines in the next week and month.
Strong Q4 financial performance with revenue up 0.99% YoY, net income up 24.12% YoY, EPS up 26.89% YoY, and gross margin up 4.10% YoY.
Analysts are positive, with multiple upgrades and raised price targets following strong Q4 results and improved operating margins.
Healthy inbound orders in the Advanced Technology Solutions segment and a sound balance sheet enabling potential buybacks.
Insider selling has increased by 105.83% over the last month.
Hedge funds are neutral, and there are no significant trading trends.
No recent news or congress trading data to act as a catalyst.
Stock trend analysis indicates potential short-term downside risk (-0.79% next day, -4.27% next week, -10.39% next month).
In Q4 2025, Nordson reported revenue of $751.82M (up 0.99% YoY), net income of $151.63M (up 24.12% YoY), EPS of $2.69 (up 26.89% YoY), and gross margin of 56.33% (up 4.10% YoY). This indicates strong growth and profitability improvements.
Analysts are generally positive on Nordson. Vertical Research upgraded the stock to Buy with a $270 price target. Baird raised its price target to $275, DA Davidson to $290, and KeyBanc to $295, all citing strong Q4 results, improved margins, and a sound balance sheet. KeyBanc views current levels as an attractive entry point for long-term investors.
