Reason

Piper Sandler initiated coverage of Waters with a Neutral rating and $400 price target. The firm launched coverage of the life science tools sector with a \"feet in the shallow end of the pool\" approach. Piper only recommends buying Twist Bioscience for its growing exposure to next generation drug discovery and development. Headwinds for the group faces from biotech and academic spending as well as China exposure will likely improve near term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, Piper wants to see some of the next big growth drivers materialize before recommending more of the stocks. Investors \"can buy multi-year growth compounding stocks early, middle, and late into their growth cycles but would simply prefer to wait out a couple quarters for the sector to perform like it did pre-Covid,\" the firm contends.

Reason

HSBC raised the firm's price target on Waters to $435 from $415 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm says market expectations on life science tools "remain bearish" with allocation tilted towards managed care and therapeutics within healthcare. While the tools sector is priced for disappointment, HSBC sees "green shoots of recovery," notably in bioprocessing and quality assurance, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adjusted target prices to reflect risk-adjusted return expectations. HSBC's preferred ideas are Waters, Iqvia, and Sartorius.
